Have fun with this people. It's not poking fun, it's simply what is most fun to roll off the tongue. Which names flow the best? Which are just bizarre? Here are some of my favorites...in no particular order
(1) Cal Clutterbuck - Simply tremendous. The double CC reiteration with some utter and some uck at the end of it. Very tough to beat.
(2) Lubomir Visnovsky/Sheldon Souray - Really! Those names are just bad ass.
(3) Jonathan Cheechoo - That's pretty awesome and unique as well.
(4) Dustin Byfuglien - DUSTin BUFFlin...such rhythm and bounce like Alffy's hair of old, not to mention his fantasy notation of (F,D,LW,RW). Stugatz!
(5) Pierre-Marc Bouchard - Good nationality reference, great flow, great stressing of the MARC. Pierre MARC Bouchard.
(6) Matt Niskanen - Matty NIIiiiissssskkkk. Matty Niissk. Matty Nisskaaanen. Play around with it. See where it makes your tongue and cheekbone feel the best.
(7) Devin Setoguchi - I hear this kids name and I think of freakin Devin Sawa from Little Giants. Ice box, the whole thing.
(8) Antti Miettinen - Any name that goes against itself right from the beginning is worth notable mention.
(9) Curtis Glencross - I think of railroad crossing signs, nasdaq, and an exotic birds name with which presently escapes me.
(10) Scottie Upshall - Power up-ticks, flow and L'Oreal hair die.
(11) Valtteri Filppula - Really Bress? 
(12) Sam Rosen's screaming of Dan Girarti when he scores. Dan GIRRRAARTI!
(13) Kyle Brodziak - I think of the god dam broad side of a fuckin buick. Kyle Mother Fuckin BRODZiak. That announcer I am quite certain loves when he scores.
(14) Guillaume Latendresse - How does this happen? My name is Scott Zimmerman. Not even in the same ectoplasmic life-form as this name.
(15) Kent Huskins - Beard Pappa and this pic are the only things that comes to mind.
- Ally Arnone
(Some chick in my high school that had a flowing name, it's Monday)

Tuukka Rask needs to get some significant PT. Imagine a big snapping glove save followed by a Tuukka RASK! Jack Edwards head would explode.
Also, really explore the space with John-Michael Liles. Scotty once left a sprawling voicemail for me at work just saying his name.
I feel like Scotty could make any player's name sound interesting by the way that he says it.
Kyle BRODziak sounds like the head of a longshoremen's union.
How does my favorite name not get any love?
Nikolai Khabibulin.
If you say it with a thick Russian accent its hilarious and bad ass at the same time.

Rick Nash - wasn't he in the WWE?
Brad Isbister - Sounds like he should be in Snoop's entourage.
Yes, I'd love to grab some drinks after work at Ryan Shannon's or Patrick O' Sullivan's.
Blake Wheeler should be playing beach volleyball in an 80's movie.
And Robyn Regehr and Rhett Warrener shold never be allowed o the same team ever again.
Speaking of irish pubs,if you are ever in Newport R.I. stop by Duffy's after work and you can hang out with Brad McGann's Boston Whaler lady and her huge friends.
