Best Defensive Wingers

[Boxscore]

Some of the no-brainers were already named... Kurri, Tikkanen, Lehtinen, Hossa, etc.

I'll add...

Rob Zamuner, Scott Young, John MacLean...

 

[Mike C]

I’ll throw Jan Erixon’s name out there

The Shadow

 

[Mike C]

I'll stick my 2 cents in for Gainey, Erixon as was mentioned, Carbonneau, Gordie, Ramsay

At times Trevor Linden played RW -- does he count?

 

[VanIslander]

Mark Stone would have been terrific in any era. Very solid defensive play.

He seriously underestimated the core leg strength of 38-year-old veteran Marleau (legendary on the bike in San Jose)... here:


Gordie would have buried him.

Off topic but Looking through the list of selke winners t's been 20 years since a winger won the selke trophy when usually there was at least a winer or two that would win in the previous decades. What changed? Or is it just bad luck? (Bergeron doesn't help either..)

Also notable that Dirk Graham was the only winger other than Lethinen to win the selke in the 90s.

Lots of good candidates in here, and I see someone mentioned Marner who belongs too.

Even if he still has a whole other gear I wish he’d discover..
