The NHL is naming 25 players to their “Quarter Century” team, and for once the league finally got it right by including Evgeni Malkin! Oh yeah, and of course Sidney Crosby made the list too, no surprise there as being the greatest player the NHL has seen since the Lemieux/Gretzky days.
Introducing the second batch of players voted to the #NHLQCTeam!
These skaters each made their NHL debut between 2000-2010!
