The name that sticks out like a sore thumb?
Mike Gartner
Dino Ciccarelli (also in the club) was once traded for Gartner (in a deal that paid dividends for both teams) and I've always considered them to be relatively equivalent talent wise. But Gartner has a full 100 more goals than Dino.
The biggest difference between them? Dino was a garbage man, while Gartner was a speed winger. Otherwise, both were excellent triggermen who while never elite, managed through longevity to put up ridiculous numbers.
Would they have been Franchise players?
