Adam Oates, Dale Hawerchuk, Pierre Turgeon, Jean Ratelle, Phil Housley, Norm Ullman, Bernie Nicholls, Dino Ciccarelli, Michel Goulet...
I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.

Marcel Dionne, he had that many goals on L.A. Imagine what he would have done on a team like Montreal, or Philly, etc.

Denis Savard has his name on a Cup. He was with Montreal when they won in 1993
I think Bill Gadsby should also be included in the poll |

What was Detroit thinking when they traded him to LA? 1975 Dionne traded with Bart Crashley to Los Angeles for Terry Harper, Dan Maloney, and Jim Roberts...

From this list I picked Perreault. He was such an exciting player to watch. He came close too.

If I'm not mistaken Dionne requested a trade. He wasn't happy in Detroit.

| hey hkalirah imagine if dionne played on a team like montreal how many cups he would have won. pts has nothing to do with it. how may pts records would lafluer have set on a team like la where there was no system.after teh 2nd period in montreal bowman had them shut it down in the 3rd for the win. didn't care if you needed a goal for a hat trick if u were lucky u get it in an empty net,. |

That was exactly my point. He was an amazing player on a team that was going nowhere quickly. If he was on a team like Montreal, he would have been surrounded with talent, imagine how many more cups they may have won.

| I vote Trevor Linden... not because he was an amazing player (although he was back in his run with the canucks in 94 and such... but because of his heart as a player... i think those kind of players deserve the cup more than the guy with the most skill, but is still an a******... also, speaking of the canucks in 94... Pavel Bure probably deserved a cup, had it not been for the injuries and the idiotic move to florida. |

Hmmm, what do all these players have in common?
Ouch. I think I need some sake!

| Sorry about that one guys. I was looking through Denis Savard's profile on Wikipedia and I couldn't find anything about him winning the Stanley Cup. I should have looked harder I guess. Sorry about that. |

Wikipedia is not always correct. You, and I can become members and submit incorrect information...
Edit:
I just went to Denis Savard's info at Wikipedia, and under "NHL Playing Career" it says he won the cup...
"In 1990, Savard was traded to the Montreal Canadiens for Defenceman and future team captain Chris Chelios and a second-round pick (Mike Pomichter) on June 29, 1990. Savard won the Stanley Cup with the Canadiens in 1993. He was soon traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he played 2 seasons. On April 6, 1995 Savard was traded back to Chicago, for a 1996 sixth-round pick (Xavier Delisle)."

Tretiak never played in the Nhl, otherwise he probably would have won one. |

I voted Sittler - but I think Dionne, Cicarelli, Gartner, Neely are just as deserving.
As another here posted, in three years you can add Sundin to the list. |

I would have to agree with Andyhack and say Brad Park. Just a phenomenal defenceman who came very close to the cup several times. Close but no cigar seems to sum up Park's career. Close to winning the Norris, close to winning the cup...

| I think Bure - I have never seen another player that exciting - before he broke his leg, his skill and speed were unparalelled - and ultimately, unrewarded... |

Marcel Dionne was also great, he took a bad team far, but they never won...
Habs get number 25 this year |

Marcel Dionne played 18 years and 1348 games without getting close to the cup. Meanwhile his 19 year old younger brother Gilbert won a Stanley Cup in only his second year in the league.
He was picked second overall to Guy Lafleur in the 1971 Draft. Can you even imagine the amount of cups that pick cost him?
Met him once, great guy and an all time small guy HOF'er at 5'8" and when he retired he was #2 overall in points. |

Hasn't been exactly three years but I'm going to add Sundin to this list anyway. A great captain and a great player that defected in order to capture a cup, it's too bad he didn't realize that the Canucks didn't have a chance last year . The Stanley Cup was the prize I wanted him and the Leafs to win for years and to this day I'm still dreaming of it happening .
When Hell freezes over, I'll play hockey there too. |

Great players who didn't win the Stanley Cup.
