228. Daniel Briere

Daniel Briere was another one of those undersized skilled forwards who had to rely on the non-physical part of the game of hockey.  Luckily he was pretty good at it!

Briere was a two-time All-Star who peaked at 95 Points in the 2006-07 season (his last with the Buffalo Sabres).  Briere would also have 60 Point seasons with the Phoenix Coyotes and the Philadelphia flyers and in the three times he represented Canada in IIHF competition he was a Gold Medalist each time, two World Championships and a World Junior.
