The correct answer is:

1. Ed Belfour
2. Adam Oates
3. Martin St. Louis

That is a good list, I would add Igor Larionov to it (and Belfour is 3rd)

- 2.0

Larionov was drafted 214th overall by Vancouver in 1985.

Might be a little bit of favoritism on my part, but what about Chris Kunitz? Undrafted with four Cup rings.

How is Tippett not a nominee when he finally turned around a perennially bad team AND did it with some key injuries?!?

East coast bias. All 3 nominees are in the Eastern Conference. I agree that Tippett should've been nominated. What about Jared Bednar in Colorado? All of their Stars missed significant time to injury during the season but they barely missed a beat.

I loved Dino. I'm still bitter the Red Wings traded him before they went on their Cup runs.

Panarin is so far off from being the best ever (He's not even the best one in the league right now, IMO):

(In no particular order): Gretzky (Technically), Belfour, St. Louis, Salming, Joseph, Giordano, Oates, Mullen, Ciccarelli, Backstrom, and on, and on and on

Ek Joe Mullen

Alex Burrows.

Case closed.

What Backstrom are you talking about?

And Panarin is better than Gio today.

- BINGO!

The goalie.

Adam Oates, Panarim isn't even close yet

I think that the Greatest Undrafted player of all time would be Ed Belfour.

He won the Calder, Vezina, and the Masterson in his first season. He went on to have a 19 year NHL Career and played in 963 games. He had a 2.50 all time goals against and a .906 save percentage in the Regular season, and also showed up when it mattered in the playoffs. He won a cup in Dallas, and had over a .920 save percentage in the playoffs with a GAA of 2.17. In his Dallas years, he gave up less than 2 goals a game in the playoffs, and led Dallas to back to back cup final appearances.



While others have just as good of a Resume, and Panarin might end up being the Best, I think Belfour edges everyone out currently, and I'm a Blues fan

Adam Oates.

Who does the Buzztron say is the best?

Probably Eric Lindros.

- Eklund

hahahah

What about a guy named Martin St. Louis? 11 20-goal seasons (easily could be 13-15 if health & lockouts didn't come into play). 1000 points, a Stanley cup, Olympics

Heck, Chris Kunitz won 4 Stanley cups in the past 13 years; let Parnain win 1 before we declare him the "best undrafted NHL player"

my 2 cents

The reigning Norris Trophy winner (Giordano) was undrafted...and isn't too shabby

The Bozek!
