The better question would be this: Which one who has recently passed away do you wish was still around to be appreciated?
For me, I wish like heck to have met Roger Neilson, aka "Captain Video". I have always heard he was a great person off the ice, and was one of the biggest innovators in the NHL. The same goes for Herb Brooks as well.
I pose this question for the hockey fans because some of us have grown up in an era where the greats are still relatively young (Wayne, Mario, Moose, Stevie Y, et al are in their 40s, and Bobby Orr is in his late 50s). However, we have missed out on the old-timers, the builders, the founders, the people who build the NHL.
