4. Rick Nash

Let’s face it. You don’t score 750 points in today’s NHL without being an elite player. Rick Nash is just that. With just under 1000 games played in his storied career, Nash is the kind of player that can single-handedly change a game with his skill and strength.

Nash has eight 30-goal seasons under his belt, and in three years he has hit the 40-goal mark. Offensive production at this rate is tough to sustain, and it has become an expectation from many that Nash will put up at least 50 points a year.

Oh, did I forget to mention that Rick Nash also kills penalties? Well, he does. He has probably become one of the better forwards in the defensive end.
