The Greatest Player in the History of the Sharks?

One last poll. Who is the greatest player ever to play for the Sharks? Dany Heatley, Patrick Marleau, Joe Thornton, Owen Nolan, Dan Boyle, Nabokov, Irbe, Rob Blake, Ray Whitney, Who was the best in San Jose? It needs to be a reasonable answer, and a player that played well here, not just a decorated player. Please leave your thoughts in the comments section of this post. Hoping to see lots of answers, so thanks in advance

Plank, you've done it again.

Ville Nieminen was a phenomenal player for the San Jose Sharks. One of the most well respected players to ever play the game, it’s a wonder why his number isn’t retired yet.

So I’m not the only one who remembered him.

The only reason I know him is because of that sporcle quiz with all of the Sharks first round picks.

NY Times article
The San Jose Sharks have temporarily acquired the rights to the high-scoring wing Theo Fleury from the Rangers.

The Sharks said yesterday that they got the rights to Fleury as the future considerations in a minor trade Sunday. The Sharks gave their sixth-round pick to the Rangers for a sixth-round pick in the 2003 draft.
