He posted a +71 Plus\/Minus for a franchise that boasted very few &#8220;plus&#8221; skaters in team history.<\/p>\r\n<p>Samuelsson engaged in some of the bloodiest battles in Whalers history as a bludgeoning force to be feared.<\/p>\r\n<p>He would realize his championship glory two times over in Pittsburgh as a valuable cog for the back to back champions of 1991-1992.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h2><strong><em>Hartford Whalers Best Players <\/em><\/strong><em><strong>No. 3:<\/strong> <\/em><strong>Kevin Dineen RW (1984-1991,1995-1997)\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>The tenacious RW, was the heart and soul of Hartford&#8217;s most successful teams during the mid 1980&#8217;s.<\/p>\r\n<p>A true power forward, Dineen mixed grit and scoring prowess on his way to 235 goals and 473 points in his 9 seasons. Kevin topped 40 goals twice and scored at least 25 goals seven times during his tenure in Hartford.<\/p>\r\n<p>It is only fitting that on April 13, 1997, Dineen would score the final goal in Whalers history, a 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h2><strong><em>Hartford Whalers Best Players <\/em><\/strong><em><strong>No. 2:<\/strong><\/em><strong> Mike Liut G (1985-1990) <\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>On February 21, 1985, Whalers GM Emile Francis engineered a blockbuster deal with the St. Louis Blues for the star Goaltender and Liut did not disappoint.<\/p>\r\n<p>A big, rangy goalie, Mike owned virtually every Hartford Goaltending record at the time of his trade to Washington in 1991 and his epic duel in the 1986 playoffs with a rookie netminder named Patrick Roy in the Adams Division Final was one for the ages.<\/p>\r\n<p>Liut matched Roy stop for stop until 5:55 of Overtime in game seven where another youngster, Claude Lemieux chipped one by Liut, ending the Whalers playoff hopes and propelling Montreal towards their 23rd Stanley Cup.<\/p>\r\n<h2><strong><em>Hartford Whalers Best Players <\/em><\/strong><em><strong>No.1<\/strong><\/em><strong>: Ron Francis C (1981-1991) <\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>&#8220;The Franchise&#8221;
