While this list is obviously subjective and reflective of the 58 people that voted on this panel, there were a few interesting snubs. First, for UND fans, former Fighting Sioux forward Jonathan Toews made the list.<\/p>\n<p>Missing from the list, No Evgeni Malkin or Joe Thornton. A buddy of mine sent me a text and was puzzled by the omission of Evgeni Malkin. As <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.vice.com\/ca\/article\/evgeni-malkins-top-100-snub-is-a-damn-travesty\" target=\"_blank\">David Lozo of Vice Sports<\/a> pointed out:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Malkin has been more productive in his playoff career than active list members Patrick Kane (0.984), Alex Ovechkin (0.976), Jaromir Jagr (0.966) and Jonathan Toews (0.871).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a closer look at Joe Thornton.
