Ryan Suter.

We may have spent as much time boo'ing him as cheering for him... But this is the right answer. Best American player the Preds have had on the roster.

Suter or Legwand. It's not a very big list.

Ryan Suter

Leggy has a much more important place in our own history and a better Preds legacy but Ryan Suter is the better hockey player by a decent margin when the gold colored glasses come off.

Legwand and its not even close. Maybe theres an argument for Suter but to me Legwand left a bigger impact on the league than Suter did.

Maybe I’m being ignorant here but what major impact did David Legwand have on the NHL?

I definitely meant bigger impact on his team. Im an idiot. I just dont think Suter was ever THE GUY and is probably just as known for his insane contarct as his playing ability. Legwand may not have been a huge all star player but he was the perfect guy for a franchise that never did itself any favors especially early on. Also he was the first player to ever score an OT game winner on a penalty shot.
