As part of the 100 year celebration, the league put together a list of the top 100 players in league history. They aren't numbered, they are just listed alphabetically. Might be a fun discussion. I didn't think it was a particularly great list.

The Bruins had Orr, Bourque, Schmidt, Shore, Bucyk, Park, Esposito, Oates as guys who played here for a while, plus Parent, Ratelle, Sawchuk, Jagr, Coffey, Leetch who came through at some point.
Six active players made it- Crosby, Ovechkin, Kane, Toews, Keith, Jagr.
I think Toews and Keith are ridiculous inclusions. Joe Thornton not making is a joke too, the guy is like inside the top 25 all time in scoring. But grit. And false playoff narratives. Something like that.
On the Bruins, the homer in me thinks Neely should've been on there, and probably Chara too. Especially if they think Keith is worthy. Bergy is better than Toews too, but hey, Captain Serious.
