Re: Who was your favorite scrub player when you were young?

Okay, could we stop nominating solid players? Esa Tikannen scored 244 NHL goals, and is probably in the top 20 of career NHL playoff goals scored. He became washed up early and was certainly a scrub on his last go around with the Rangers, but there are way better scrubs from the Rangers teams of that time (Darren Langdon, Joey Kocur, etc.)

Esa was never particularly solid. He played 20 seasons in the NHL and has 244 goals. An average of about 12 goals (12.2?) per season is not what I consider good.

You have trouble counting, it seems. Tikkanen had 12 seasons in the NHL as a full-time player - and in 2 of them he was clearly finished.
In Esa's prime he clearly averaged more than 20 goals a season - not to mention he had 3 post-seasons above 10 goals, all three also above 20 points, and another 9 goal affair. He was not a top line player, but he was a guy who teams would've loved to have on their 2nd or 3rd line. He was FAR from a scrub.
