Nieuwendyk gets my vote as much as I love Iginla. 3 cups with 3 different teams and played a key role. Conn Smyth Trophy in New Jersey, Dallas really didn't go anywhere in the playoffs when Joe was injured, when he was healthy he put them over the top then went to the Devils and was such a key guy there. He didn't need to be the "man" anywhere he played but Nieuwendyk still found a way to be a key on every team he was on. Hand eye coordination was unreal, great at faceoffs and an absolute clutch performer.
