Most interesting NHL player of all time?

I guess you have a point.

On a related note, Sean Avery was more interesting than a lot of other players but for the wrong reasons. If he wasn't a douchebag, would he be any more than a decent answer to players who have played for DAL/DET on puckdoku?

Bellemare is interesting played in France and Sweden and didn’t make the nhl till north of 30 years old

Dos Equis should revive that ad campaign with Jagr as the focal point.

Carl Brewer is up there on my list — I cannot think of anyone I’d rather spend an afternoon with over a few adult beverages.

I am very biased as a fanatic of both hockey and tennis, but the easy answer for me is Jaroslav Drobny. Hockey HOFer, Wimbledon & French Open singles champion, defected Czechoslovakia and represented Egypt in Tennis...fascinating career(s) and fascinating person.

Dave Dryden. Yes, Dave Dryden.

Dave Dryden. Yes, Dave Dryden.

Care to explain why?

Eddie Shore for me, particularly among stars. Very interesting playing career in terms of when he played, his stature within the game, even the Ace Bailey incident, followed by a very interesting post-playing career in the sport. From descriptions he sounds both intelligent and crazy, so that's also very interesting.

The amount of verbal abuse he endured from other parents would've driven most people crazy. Credit to him for ignoring it and to Walter for keeping him levelheaded.

I don't always nominate players as the most interesting, but when I do, I prefer Brent Burns.

Stay thirsty, my friends.

What's interesting about him?

Pinchevsky: The interesting life of Brent Burns

Between the missing teeth and tattoos and the Chewbacca mask at the All-Star Game, you might think you know Brent Burns. Turns out, the NHL's most interesting man has plenty more up his sleeve.

Amazing that he stayed so humble despite this
