189. Calle Johannson
A Washington Capital for fifteen of his seventeen seasons in the NHL, Calle Johannson was an integral part of the Capitals making multiple playoffs.  Johannson does not often get the credit that he deserved as Washington had many defensive stars at the time (Scott Stevens, Rod Langway, Kevin Hatcher for example) but he was a contributor on these clubs giving excellent depth.  Internationally, he represented Sweden multiple times, including anchoring them to two World Championships (1991 & 1992).
