Mike Modano
We are bending rules a tad, but nobody represents Dallas Stars lineage better than Mike Modano.
It is difficult to count Modano’s NHL Championship 2000 cover because the game stunk and few have heard of it. We envision Modano on the cover of a ‘Hall of Fame’ or ‘Legends’ edition of NHL 22. It is also worth demanding Modano’s cover image be one of him in a Dallas Stars sweater circa 1999-2003.
Name someone who had better flow than Mike Modano. We'll wait. pic.twitter.com/0wUobYN9OH

EA Sports has frequently produced A ‘Hall of Fame edition’ alternate edition of their Madden NFL series games. In addition to a different cover, the alternate versions of Madden typically come with extra or exclusive downloadable content. For example, the Madden 19: Hall of Fame Edition featured Terrell Owens on the cover and exclusive ‘Madden Ultimate Team’ packs and custom uniforms.
EA Sports is missing out by not releasing an ‘NHL 22: Hall of Fame Edition’ with Modano on the cover.
