It's pretty clear the players aren't talking only about physical play when they make this decision. Pavel Datsyuk rates number two here. He also rates as number one in the list for the cleanest player in the league, an interesting comparison.
Once again it's interesting to note that Sidney Crosby takes number one in this category and Alex Ovechkin comes in third.
