#2 – Ryan Callahan, New York Rangers
While there are flashier offensive stars like Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik in the lineup, New York Rangers captain Ryan Callahan is the heart and soul of that team, exemplifying the disciplined, hard-working mentality that head coach John Tortorella demands from his squad. Being the captain of an Original Six franchise is one of the greatest honors a player can enjoy in his NHL career, and Callahan has earned every bit of that reward during his time in New York. A fan favorite for his tireless work ethic and on-ice leadership, Callahan is a player whose star will shine on Broadway for a long time to come.
