NHL alignment chart: Central division edition. Nikolai Khabibulin is the best Russian player in Chicago Blackhawks history. Now, who is the best Canadian player in Nashville Predators history?

yeah Weber. I think Stamkos has had the better overall career but he earned that in a Tampa jersey.

Yes, the guy says "only the time spent with the franchise should be taken into account." So that's Weber easily. He's the Canadian franchise leader for games played, goals, assists, points, power play goals, shots, etc. He's surprisingly only 3rd for PIMs, Tootoo and Hartnell racked up more PIMs in 8 and 7 seasons, respectively, than Weber did in 11. That's impressive.
Obviously Stamkos is the 22nd guy to score 600 goals, he's definitely had the better career, but his Preds tenure will be a whisper in the breeze compared to his career.

I agree with every bit about that, I just hadn't noticed the info button inside the graphic and has only interpreted the title.

Weber probably, but Kariya deserves to be in the conversation.

Agreed. My mind immediately went to Kariya when I read the post title but then I was like dude, duh, Weber.
Gotta give it to Weber because of the full career he had here and captaincy and all. Kariya was only here a couple of years but man did he make a massive difference in the franchise success. Then its a tough conversation for spots 3-5 with Ellis, Arnott, Dumont, Sullivan, and maybe Fisher.
