   Mark Recchi
2. Pavel Bure

1. Theoren Fleury
   Paul Kariya
2. Joe Sakic
   Mike Modano

1. Eric Lindros
   Wayne Gretzky
2. Joe Sakic
   Pavel Bure

Since Wayne Gretzky was undersized for a hockey star, he had to rely on his intelligence to make an impact on the ice, but he proved over time that he was one of the smartest players to ever take to the ice.
