He is easily the most underrated player in NHL history, if not one of the most underrated players in the history of team sport. Anyone wanna join me at his Hall of Fame induction in five years?I'm out to prove I've got nothing to prove Promote this thread! The Goon

He was one of those guys always great to watch. A real leader without being an attention-seeker. It was both a shock and a pleasure to see him in a Leaf uniform in 2004. JustinShapiro

Would have been awesome to see him with the Pens in his final season.
