38. Steve Larmar
On the face of it, Larmar’s situation wasn’t out of the ordinary. There were many contract holdouts in the nineties and he wanted more money. Many stars earned millions of dollars but he didn’t crack seven figures. Furthermore, he was tired of life in Chicago and wanted a fresh start. But he had a phenomenal record of never missing an NHL game in his career.

Larmar went 884 games in a row before he failed to appear on the ice. It’s a shame because he never allowed injuries to stop him. In the end, it was money that prevented him from breaking the overall record. However, it ended well for him because he wound up with the Rangers. That’s where he won the Stanley Cup for the first time so he made the right choice (via Fansided).
