I was thinking about this earlier today and what makes a player good in terms of their skill set, it seems like different strengths can still be effective (e.g. a small player can't play the way a big player does).

So that next thought was who is currently the most unique player, that when you see them on the ice, they do things no other player does/can do?

I think I'd probably have to throw Datsyuk out there, just crazy hands and you can tell when he's got the puck. This shouldn't be limited to shooters, e.g. a Hasek type goalie. Just wanted some other opinions?
