5-1

10. Lee Zink

Upon his retirement after the 2015 season, Zink finished his career with the most games played in Denver Outlaws history and sixth-most games played in league history. The Connecticut-native won two Defensive Player of the Year honors (2012, 2013), played in eight All-Star Games, won two MLL championships and was named to the MLL 10-Year Anniversary Team in 2010.

9. Mark Millon

The Hall of Famer, known for his offensive talent and dodging capabilities, accumulated 383 career points and won a championship in 2002 with the Bayhawks. The inaugural All-Star Game MVP was also a two-time Offensive Player of the Year (2002, 2003) and the 2005 co-MLL MVP when he scored 38 goals and dished out 18 assists.

8. Greg Cattrano

His career only spanned six seasons, but it was filled with firsts. The three-time league champion and three-time Goalie of the Year (2001, 2002, 2004) retired as the league leader in career wins (45, including playoffs). He was the goalie on the first All-MLL team, the first goalie to score in a game and the first (and only) goalie to win the Championship Game MVP (2004) as well as the MLL MVP award (2002).

7. Ryan Powell

He was the league’s inaugural MVP and the first player to win two MVP awards. He was also the first to win MVP and Offensive Player of the Year in the same season (2006). He accumulated 336 points over his eight-year career and earned six All-Star nods.

6. Rob Pannell

A prolific scorer (430 career regular season points, 22 playoff points), the No. 1 pick in the 2012 draft led the league in scoring three times. Only once (his 2012 rookie season during which he only played 10 games) did he not finish in the top three in the league in scoring. He was the 2013 Rookie of the Year, two-time Offensive Player of the Year (2016, 2018), 2018 MLL MVP and a six-time All-Star. He set the league record for points in a season (78) in 2018.
