117. Evgeni Nabokov

Evgeni Nabokov took his time to enter North America after being a late-round draft pick by the San Jose Sharks in 1994.  Six years later, the Goalie would make his debut with the San Jose and is, without doubt, the best backstop in franchise history.

Nabokov would play internationally for Russia and would become a two time All Star in the NHL.  His career would also include a First Team All-Star selection in the 2007-08 campaign and his career sees him in the top 25 all-time in Wins.
