C: S 1 - S 10 - Ron Mexico - The fact that the trophy is named after this legend is reason enough, but to further justify: he's won cups,and obviously his own trophy. This guy is walking, talking, living, breathing history. 549 points in 538 games, he was consistant his whole career W: S 10 - S 20 - Esa Anrikkanen - Like Lebron James, this point-getter was pretty much always among the last standing when the dust settled. He played his best when the championship was on the line, and when all was said and done, he had a lot of experience playing for it all. Moreover, this Fin sits second on the all-time SHL points board with 932. W: S 20 - S 30 - Kristian Eriksson - With a Ronny Mexico Trophy, a Challenge Cup, and a whole slew of other trophies to his name, this European-born skater put up 934 points in his career with a healthy balance of both goals and assists. D: S 10 - S 20 - Roy Razin - Averaging nearly .75 points a game as a defense is an astonishing feat. This elite offensive-dman was a threat permanent threat. As, a true power-play specialist, he was a fixture on the back end - both firing shots past the goalies and setting up teammates to do the same. Arguably peaking in S 22, when he won the Stevens, and Richan Trophies as individual accolades, and, more importantly, the ultimate prize - the Challenge Cup. D: S 30 - S 40 - Alexis Metzler - A name instantly recognizable by anyone who's spent some time around the SHL. He's solid as a rock back there, a 2x first-team allstar, a 2x Stevens winner, and a 3x Littleton nominee G: S 30 - S 40 - Timo Haas - Busting on to the scene in S 32, Haas was named to the all-rookie squad, and he only got better from there. With elite career averages - .910 sv% and 2.686 GAA - Haas could always be counted on to give his team a chance to win - the most important job of a netminder - and on many nights he flat out stole games for his team that they had no business winning. Although he has yet to etch his name on the Challenge Cup, he's won just about every other trophy and has his stall in the Hall of Fame locked up. |
