Buffalo: Ryan Miller (the future savior of USA Hockey)/Dmitri Kalinin (Cap killer)
Calgary: Dion Phaneuf/Chris Simon
Carolina: Eric Staal (what's not to like?)/Rod Brind'Amour (flat-out painful to look at)
Chicago: Tyler Arnason/Matt Barnabum
Colorado: Steve Konowalchuk/Brad May
Columbus: Jody Shelley/Adam Foote
Dallas: Mike Modano/Marty Turco (why, oh why did I trade you for Radek Bonk all those years ago in my pool?)

Simon being an ex-Cap, i'm surprised he made your least loved list.
Anybody who played on the Blackhawks in the late 80s/early 90s (Chelios, Belfour, Roenick, Amonte, etc) make my most beloved list. Pretty much any Flyers from the same period make my least liked list.
Marty Turco (why, oh why did I trade you for Radek Bonk all those years ago in my pool?)
I once dealt (basically) Dany Heatley for Vaclav Nedorost. Until you do something like that, don't cry too much! :)
ryan miller is awesome. i loved watching him play in rochester, and am so glad he's finally been called up to play with the big kids.
i guess it is a tough call between friesen and biron...
