Some players have fantastic runs in the league or with a particular team, but have the unfortunate luck to have their tenures coincide with an even more impressive player. Let’s take a look at Gary Suter, a fantastic blueliner who probably would’ve gotten more praise and attention had he not played at the same time as Al MacInnis.
Suter is #17 on our countdown.
Player, 1985-94
A Wisconsin kid, Suter went to college in his home state for a couple seasons and impressed. He was selected by the Flames in the ninth round of their monster 1984 draft class after an impressive freshman season.
