1) Datsyuk
2) Iginla
3) Nieuwendyk

Datsyuk is probably one of the best players I've ever seen. Total package, and a complete game changer. Not much that guy couldn't do. I still watch his breakaway highlights on youtube, and give them a go on my Atom goalies. I encourage all my kids to emulate him and Toews, even though they have no idea who he is lol.

Iginla for obvious reasons.

Nieuwendyk (followed by Roberts). Tough call there. I was just a wee lad when he was challenging Mike Bossy for rookie scoring records. I still remember being crushed (for whatever reason) when he fell a couple short. I also still remember trying to be a Devils fan when he got traded there from Dallas, and I recall quite vividly not being able to watch that style of hockey. That's when I realized that win or lose, I will always be a Flames fan no matter how bad they are.
