Jeremy Roenick: The nine-time All-Star finished with 1,216 points, fifth best in NHL history among Americans. In addition to his offensive skill, he played a hard-charging style on the ice. He even threw an occasional check at the All-Star Game. He was outspoken on league issues and moved into television after his retirement.

Shea Weber: The seven-time All-Star defenseman won the hardest shot competition four times. That shot helped him score 224 times. He played for the Nashville Predators and Montreal Canadiens and was captain of the Predators for six seasons before his trade to Montreal.
