The San Jose Sharks defenseman, who once had a
"family reunion"
with the big wookie at Disney World, was the top choice for players polled by NHL.com.
"I feel like the only guy that... comes to mind is Brent Burns," said Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar. "I feel like everybody would say that just because he's got the beard."
"Probably Brent Burns. That's an easy one," said Calgary Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk. "Or like an old Mike Commodore with the hair. I see him on Twitter with his picture with the robe and the big hair and the cigar after they won the cup. Kinda Jackie Moon-esque."
Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin, Seattle Kraken forward Jordan Eberle, Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty were also among the others to choose Burns.
And while there were votes for Tampa Bay Lightning forward Pat Maroon, New York Rangers forwards Ryan Reaves and Artemi Panarin, Dallas Stars defenseman John Klingberg and more, Burns was the most common answer by far.
It's gotta be the hair. It's beautiful. Feathered and lethal. You just don't see it nowadays.
