The rest were/are support players, and some of them (Okposo and Komisarek) the punch line to jokes.
Let me pick one of those guys out. Lars Eller. Great player. Has moved the needle on every team he's ever played for. Clutch in the playoffs for Montreal and Washington. Scored the Cup-winning goal and is what I would call an elite second-line centre. And he's not even close to being the best guy on that list.
