Me! (My organization made it to 5 SC finals while I was with them winning once)
Seriously, any Hall of Famer who played for the Rangers
1. Marcel Dionne
2. Peter Stastny
3. Michael Gartner
4. Darryl Sittler
5. Rod Gilbert
6. Jean Ratelle
7. Brad Park
8. Adam Oates
9. Harry Howell
10. Philip Housley
Lubers, great call with the Russians who never got a chance to play in the NHL (and allow me to include Germany's Eric Kuhnhackl)
Peoples,
How does one get 6 thumbs up for proclaiming themselves the best player not on the Cup - although it is very flattering.

If you go by the numbers, Mike Gartner had over 700 goals and never won a cup.
Of the current players, maybe Mats Sundin has had the longest career producing above average numbers and never getting past the third round.

Dionne and Gartner are great answers. Here are a few more.
Brian Propp: 5 trips to the finals with 3 teams, highest-scoring left wing in Stanley Cup history and zero Cups.
Valeri Kharlamov and Vladamir Tretiak are two who never even got to play in the NHL let alone an opportunity to get their names on the cup.
EDIT: Matt, Al MacInnis won a cup with Calgary in 1989.

C'mon people Thorton and Crosby are still in fine position to win a cup. I believe the player who toiled the longest and still hasn't got his name on the Holy Grail is Jeremy Roenick . He bleeds for every team he plays for(except Coyotes) and is one of few real personalities left in the game

To add to the other like Gartner, Dionne and LITY. I'll throw out Adam Oates name (although I was never a big fan).

Ed Giacomin and Roberto Luongo. Someone had to give the goalies a little respect.
