Too many to go through. Every year we are subjected to ~300 players not worth the price of admission
Brady Cleveland is about to give him a run for his money. He hasn’t scored a goal since he was like 13
Posts like this are disgusting. Every player that has played a single NHL game is in the top .01% of hockey players in the world. The worst NHL player is still better than every person on these boards, aside from those lurker accounts, who would be players who have been I'm the league.
What kind of names are you hoping to see? Players who had their life long dream come true by playing a few games? Are you looking to mock them?
By the way, Justin Dowling has over $3 million in career earnings. Not bad for the worst player to ever play.

Nobody was gonna pick you anyway Brad, chill.
I feel Oilers fans should have the best answers here. During our decade of gloom we skated a whole bunch of players that didn't belong in the NHL.
First guy to come to mind is Zach stortini. He put up a few points but the whole point of him being on the ice was whenever someone drops the gloves. He's going to take three or four shots to the face before hugging the guy and hoping the referee breaks the fight up. He had no other purpose to exist in the NHL.
The next candidate was the can't miss Blue Chip prospect that was going to be a heart trophy winner or in the very least a rocket Richard winner, Rob shremp. He was perhaps the slowest skating offensive player of his generation. Before he came to the NHL there were really cool highlights of him doing these crazy shootout goals. But Edmonton wasn't good enough to make it to the shootout with Rob shremp on the team. He couldn't skate the puck down the ice. He couldn't keep up with the play so by the time he got to the offensive zone the puck was always going in the opposite direction, and there was absolutely nothing he could do in the defensive zone. He didn't even skate fast enough to belong on the power play.
Next is Linus Omark, who was essentially assured her version of Rob's Schremp that was drafted much later. He too had some crazy highlight videos on YouTube of him scoring some crazy looking cute with him in the lineup. You aren't making it to the shootout.
Last but not least is a player whose name I've forgotten. I don't think it's Steve McIntyre, but I recall us having this really big guy who would look really intensely at people and his whole point of being on the ice was to punch you in the face. But he skated so slow that no one ever had to engage him in a fight. I'm sure he would have been a top 3 fighter in the NHL if he could have actually engaged someone in a fight. People were not sprinting away from this guy. They were just casually skating. Like it was as if this guy just started skating the year before he got into the NHL.

My Avatar - Andrei Nazarov was drafted top ten and became a terrible enforcer that would lose a lot and then go and get himself suspended. He was like Temu Raffi Torres

No, terrible choice. Charlie Huddy was an awesome player.
He once had the highest plus/minus in the League (over peak Gretzky), won the Oilers' best defenceman team award (over young Coffey), and won 5 Stanley Cups.
He was past his prime when he got to L.A, but the fool who made that video didn't note that Huddy's +9 when the 1993 Kings went to the Cup Finals was the best mark on the club.
After watching the first minute of that, I realized there can be no other answer.

Oilers had way worse players than that. Ryan O'Marra. Dean Arsene. Alex Plante. Jean-Francois Jacques. Marc-Antoine Pouliot. Colten Teubert.

You could look at some cherry-picked highlights from 1993-94 (when the Kings were a defensive trainwreck, top to bottom), or you could, you know, look at Huddy's entire career, which was stellar.

I had the misfortune of watching brian strait play defense for the islanders for a couple of seasons.

This is Hurricanes Hockey
Yeah I think we have a "winner" here. Lafontaine wasn't meant to be an NHLer but the Hurricanes were in a jam and needed a goaltender. After that it was clear that experiment didn't need a part 2.

Man, that is a look. If his hockey decisions are as bad as his hairstyle choices, ya. And yes, I’m judging, because that man put effort into looking that silly.
Also, I like how Patrick Kaleta only made it in the nhl to run players with dirty, ruinous hits. Loved him as a kid, he did score 10 goals in a season and the Sabres tried to make him a thing, but- what a weird player. Like a Mighty Ducks 2 character or somethin. Anywho, far from the worst, I just worst-adjacent.
