Chris Pronger

Drafted second overall in 1993 by Hartford, he only lasted two seasons there before being traded to the St. Louis Blues.  In St. Louis, his numbers began to expand on all fronts: points, plus/minus and PIMs.  By 1997, he was the team captain.  He was the youngest member of Canada’s men’s hockey team at the 1998 Nagano Olympics and finished with 46 points in 1999.  His best year came in 2000 when Pronger finished the season with 62 points and a 52-plus rating.  This earned him both the Norris and the Hart Trophies, making him the first player to do so since Bobby Orr.  He went on to win the Olympic Gold at the 2002 Salt Lake City games and was traded to the Edmonton Oilers in 2005.
