5. Adam Graves

With No. 9 retired and an NHL All-Star, it shouldn't be a surprise that Graves made our list. In 1,152 NHL games, Graves 616 points — 329 goals, 287 assists — as well as 65 points in 125 playoff games. Of these, 38 were goals and the remaining 27 were assists.

After scoring 36 goals in 1992-93, Graves had a career year in 1993-94, scoring a team-record 52 goals; a record which was not surpassed until 2005-06. The Rangers won the Presidents' Trophy for the second time in three seasons, then ended a 54-season championship drought by winning the Cup for the first time since 1940. Graves scored 10 goals in 23 games during the run to the Cup, including one in the first period in Game 7 of the Final against the Vancouver Canucks.

Towards the end of the left winger's career before retirement, he won the Masterton Trophy as the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.
