We’re calling it NHL99 because there are 99 spots up for debate on our Top 100 list and the number 99 resonates for hockey fans everywhere. Instead of a league dominated almost exclusively by Canadians, a trickle and eventually a flood of players arrived from every corner of the world. Instead of six teams, there were suddenly 12. Why? Because that’s when the game, and the business of hockey, fundamentally changed.
Instead, we wanted to try something new, and the post-1967 NHL seemed like a good starting point.
We didn’t want to go over the same old ground again. Welcome to NHL99, a project that aims to put a fresh spin on a familiar idea: Who are the top 100 players in post-1967 expansion NHL history? Let’s face it, there’ve been multiple previous attempts to name the best players of all time, so that’s our starting point and the primary tweak.
