Is this by impact? Longevity?

Hamrlik/Ryder seem low. Eller high.

I'll give it a shot with my top 10.

1. Carey Price
2. Saku Koivu
3. Alexei Kovalev
4. Andrei Markov
5. PK Subban
6. Tomas Plekanec
7. Shea Weber
8. Max Pacioretty
9. Jeff Petry
10. Jaroslav Halak

What gets overshadowed with the halak run is that Mike cammalleri turned into guy lafleur at the same time.

If halak is there, cammalleri should be right there too.

 

[StCaufield]

1. Price
2. Koivu
3. Markov
4. Subban
5. Kovalev
6. Plekanec
7. Pacioretty
8. Suzuki

[HabbyGuy]

1. Price
2. Koivu
3. Markov
4. Subban
5. Kovalev
6. Plekanec
7. Pacioretty
8. Suzuki
9. Weber
10. Gallagher

Good list, Weber and Plekanec need to swap spots imo, or just push him down one spot with Weber at 6. But yeah nice.

1. Price
2. Koivu
3. Markov
4. Subban
5. Kovalev
6. Weber
7. Plekanec
8. Pacioretty
9. Suzuki
10. Gallagher

I think like a lot of players on this list. We naturally tend to have a favorable impression on the players who got drafted and developed by us.

I also think the era we most enjoyed this team plays a factor.

Cammalleri like Gionta had a great run but seeing Halak making impossible saves back to back against prime Washington and Pittsburgh was the greatest performance I've seen from any Habs player. He robbed both teams of a Stanley Cup and it will always have a special place in my heart.

I think both halak and cammalleri had an epic run.

Cammalleri broke the record for most goals by a hab in a playoff series, and really he was lights out in both series wins too.

Can you delete this thread as fast as you can . Shit, it makes me cry out all my tears to read all these nobodies you have put on your list. Half of them are just 3-4 liners . Gomez at #23 ??? are you crazy or what ???

No doubt he had a great run also. I just have a natural tendency to fall back on the players that I have a emotional connection.

Cammalleri was a player I just wanted more. I wanted to see those 80 points season. It never happened. My expectations were really high especially after letting go Koivu and Kovalev but his production was always underwhelming.

Just a side note. I think Plekanec was really underappreciated during that run. Fans love to criticize him for his playoff production but he was always phenomenal to shut down the opposition and played a key role.

I think it was a decent list. It's a fun summer thread. No need to be mean to your fellow poster.

Yeah pleky was at his peak under martin. Unfortunately, he seems remembered more for the last couple years, but the guy had the ch tattooed on his chest.

Smart, underappreciated player

I remember wisniewski on a podcast a couple years back went out of his way to comment on pleky and how clueless he was as to how good of a hockey player pleky was until he came here.
