Bobby Holik
DEVILS C
A grinder with a deft scoring touch, the 6'4" 230-pounder has averaged .27 goals and .35 assists per match over his 12-year NHL career. The 31-year-old two-time All—Star missed only 10 games over the past six seasons.

Tony Amonte
BLACKHAWKS RW
A speedy skater with a quick release, the 6-foot 195-pounder has averaged .41 goals and .43 assists per match over his 11-year NHL career. The 31-year-old four-time All-Star missed only one game over the past six seasons.

THE VERDICT: Holik's intimidating presence is unmatched among elite scorers and makes up for Amonte's superior offense. Holik's our choice.
