128. Dan Boyle
A good offensive defenseman, Dan Boyle came into his own late in his career. Boyle became a two time All Star (and a second team post season All Star selection) after he helped the Tampa Bay Lightning win a Stanley Cup in 2004. Had Boyle come into his own in his early twenties it is possible that he may have had the statistical accumulation to be a serious threat for the Hall of Fame, although anyone with more than 100 Point Shares (he has 107.1) should have his name in the discussion.
