Jonathan Marchessault

This is a no-brainer. The franchise leader in points (417), goals (192), and assists (225), became a offensive mainstay for the Vegas Golden Knights. In the process, he became one of the better snipers in the league, providing clutch shooting when Vegas needed it most.

That's despite being an undersized player who was limited defensively. When you're dealt with a tough hand in life, it's best to make do with what you have and adapt. That's what the undrafted star did, working hard and doing whatever it took to be successful. It's how he also won the Conn Smythe trophy in 2023 and became one of the biggest fan favorites in the community.

Players like Reilly Smith and Jonathan Marchessault will always be notable figures in the Vegas hockey community. They came from nothing and were crucial to the team's success. That includes Karlsson, who adapted well in any circumstance. In the end, that's what all three were all about. They changed their focus and attacked the ice from a different perspective. That helped make Golden Knights hockey what it is today.
