Of all the players to ever play in the NHL, most people recognize Joe Sakic as one of the top 30, while some would even consider him to be in the top 20. The highly decorated Hall-of-Famer burst onto the scene right from his rookie year with his ability to create points, and he continued this trend his whole career. Sakic had a very balanced scoring attack, as he ranks 13th in career assists and 16th in career goals, which pushes him to 9th all-time in overall points with 1,641. This was good for an average of 1.19 points per game played in his career. Those accolades alone would be good enough to earn somebody a spot in the Hockey Hall of Fame, but having a Hart Memorial Trophy, Conn Smythe Trophy, and 2 Stanley Cup championships to go with it elevates Sakic’s status as one of the best ever to play. It was no surprise that the former Colorado Avalanche Captain was elected on his first ballot in 2012 to cement his legacy in the NHL.
