#10. Tim Thomas - There is part of everyone of us that wants to see this unlikeliest of hockey heroes go all the way this year.
#9. Alexander Ovechkin - He's young and has time on his side, but as good as he is ultimately he will need a Stanley Cup championship to cement his legacy.
#8. Sidney Crosby - See Ovechkin above. Plus after last year's great run come up just a little bit short, it would be nice to see the Pens get it this year.
#7. Paul Kariya - He's been around a long time now, and it would be a good end cap to a good career that has certainly quieted in late years. If he could somehow make it back from injury and lead the Blues to glory, what a great story that would be.
#6. Steve Mason - I know, he's just a rookie. But what a legendary story it would be to complete his amazing season by taking the upstart Blue Jackets all the way to the Stanley Cup!
#5. Dan Boyle - I know Danny Boyle has won the Cup before, but I really do not believe he gets the credit he should. If San Jose finally goes deep this year, he will be the reason why.
#4. Jermey Roenick - I've had a love-hate relationship with good ol' JR. But he's played long enough. 1363 regular season games plus 148 more in the playoffs, but no Cup...yet.
#3. Roberto Luongo - I want to see a goalie captain accept the Stanley Cup from Gary Bettman. And hey, I'm a Canucks fan at heart.
#2. Saku Koivu - After the cancer and all the years in Montreal, it would be nice to see Captain Koivu rewarded
#1. Jarome Iginla - I don't like the Flames, but I do, like everyone else, love Jarome Iginla. If he does not get a Stanley Cup in his career, you could make a good argument that is the best player without that championship ring. I hope he gets it and with the Flames.

I think you misappropriated 1-9. TIM THOMAS is where it's at.
I could put Thomas at #1, but only to make me look good for picking Boston at the onset of the playoffs!
I'm as bitter about his departure from Toronto as any Leafs fan, but Mats Sundin deserves a place on this list.
