Islanders: Best Player To Wear Number 7

Since the New York Islanders' inception, 15 players wore the number seven for the franchise. The first to ever do so was Germain Gagnon in 1973-1974. Some other notables to wear the number include Greg Gilbert, Scott Lachance, Trent Hunter, and Jordan Eberle.

Our honorable mention today will be Trent Hunter. Hunter wore the number with the Islanders from 2002-2011. In 459 games he had 229 points (99 goals, 130 assists) with the Isles. His best season was his rookie year back in 2003-2004 when he finished with a career-high 51 points and 25 goals. He finished third in Calder voting that year.
