Peter Forsberg

Peter Forsberg belongs in any serious conversation about hockey's greatest, and I don't say that lightly. The nicknames "Peter the Great" and "Foppa" tell you how a small town in Sweden produced a legend. A Stanley Cup, the Hockey Hall of Fame, the 1995 Calder as a rookie, then the Hart and Art Ross double in 2003, the trophy case alone is staggering. What truly impresses me, though, is the rare blend of vision and physicality, a playmaker who refused to be pushed off the puck. Players who marry brain and brawn that fully are vanishingly rare, and Forsberg was one of them.
