Just saw the Roy trailer...it appears that 2 more will be announced, coming tomorrow.

Any guesses? I'm saying Lemieux and Sakic.

In each video preview, there's a line of 9 blacked out players who are filled in as they're revealed. So there are at least 9, who knows if there's more.

With 2 left to go, one is going to be Mario, and based on something I read about the achievements, I bet the final one will be Howe (but that's a complete guess).

ya there are only two more "blacked out" players on that lineup and they both appear to be righties .... so my guesses are Lemieux (who i think will be in for sure) and Brett Hull (based mostly on the righty thing) .....

This actually is something that has be excited about the game, besides the fact that they've fine tuned other areas and made them even better. I've been thinking Mario has to be one. I was a bit surprised by Chelios being one, but I guess thats cool. I did get to take shots from Chelios as a young goalie in a hockey camp in Chicago.

actually I forgot but as Howe is a righty and if you look at the last blacked out player on the right side he doesnt appear to be wearing a bucket (compare the two blacked out players and you will see what I mean).... I think Howe it is!!

If they want to go with one player from each original six teams, one remains - NYR. However, they did release two Detroit players...

Chris Chelios - DET
Ray Bourque - BOS
Borje Salming - TOR
Steve Yzerman - DET
Patrick Roy - MTL
Jeremy Roenick - CHI
+
Wayne Gretzky - EDM
Mario Lemieux - unconfirmed.

I was thinking Messier or Leetch, but they both shoot left.
Although maybe Wayne Gretzky counts as NYR's entry...

Sakic, Howe or Hull would be great additions, but as they have been nominated already, I'll go with Al MacInnis.

I see what you mean, it likely is Howe then.
