The Resume

    (May 18, 1980- )
    Born in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
    Drafted seventh overall by the New York Rangers in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft
    Forward for the New York Rangers (1998-2002), Dallas Stars (2002-03), Columbus Blue Jackets (2003-09), San Jose Sharks (2009-10), Vancouver Canucks (2010-13), Carolina Hurricanes (2013-14) and the Montreal Canadiens

Why he might be annoying:

    He was rushed into the NHL as an 18 year old.
    He was often a healthy scratch under John Muckler, who publicly stated he would be considered nothing more than a third line forward.
    Despite being considered an offensive stalwart in junior, he failed to live up to that billing in the NHL ranks.
    He was extremely injury prone during the early stages of his career.
    He suffered a career threatening eye injury when he took a puck in the face as a result of not wearing a visor (2011).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is the second player of Punjabi descent to play in an NHL game.
    He earned the Scholastic Player of the Year award while playing with Guelph of the Ontario Hockey League.
    Upon being drafted by the Rangers, the team arranged for him to live with former player Doug Sulliman's family after he made the team as an 18 year old.
    Despite not living up to the offensive draft billing, he established himself as a defensive forward and leader in the locker room.
    Despite being told he wouldn't be able to make it back for the remainder of the 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs, he was able to make it back in time to play the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals.
