PAUL GAUSTAD. He plays for my favorite team, the Buffalo Sabres. He's 6'5". He's pretty tough too - in February of 2007, he was injured in a collision with another player, leaving him with a sliced tendon in his leg. The injury could have ended his career if it had been an inch deeper. Gaustad recovered ahead of schedule and re-joined the team during the playoffs of that same season.
MIKE RICHARDS. He's the captain of my mistress team, the Philadelphia Flyers. He knows how to score goals, he finished 18th in the league for the 2009-2010 season. In the 2008-2009 season, Richards became the first player in NHL history to score three 3-on-5 goals in his career, and he led the league in short-handed goals for the season. Richards isn't afraid to get physical on the ice either, he usually gets into a few fights each season and logs a decent amount of time in the penalty box. I think it's Richards' style of play that makes him attractive.
MIKE GREEN. Green plays for a team I really dislike, the Washington Capitals. However, he fits into this category quite nicely. If you google the phrase "hot hockey players", you'll see his name appear on quite a few times. He's a 6'1" goal scoring defenceman, in the 2008-2009 season he scored 31 goals.
VINCENT LECAVALIER. He's the captain of the Tampa Bay Lightning. He's 6'4", and quite the goal scorer - he was the league leader in goals in the 2006-2007 season. He's had a somewhat rocky career with the Lightning, he was first named captain back in 2000, but was stripped of the title before the 2001-2002 season began. At the time he was the youngest captain in NHL history. He's grown up as a player, and was renamed captain prior to the 2008-2009 season. Way to go Vinny.
I could go on for quite a while. It's all a matter of opinion anyway. There's people out there who find Evgeni Malkin and Alexander Ovechkin to be attractive. There's less than 20 days until the season officially begins - let's see what these guys are going to do this year.
