    Some quiet before the storm, so to speak.  The most interesting thing thusfar is the Subban deal, along with Hughes to the Devils.

    Toronto making a little bit of elbowroom by dealing Marleau to Carolina, costing them a 1st for the cap space.  Carolina buys Marleau out and he is likely heading West

    Luongo retiring, which wasnt unexpected, but hits the Canucks and Panthers with 3 years of recapture penalties.

    Haula traded to the Hurricanes for a scrub prospect, and a conditional pick.  Another salary dump and a chance taken by Carolina on an injured player in his final year to UFA.


    So now, we have the 'legal tampering period' between teams and the UFAs and RFAs.  Speculation says there may be some offer sheet activity, which would be announced July 1st.  Im thinking we could see some movement this weekend just before UFA, or, if not, just after UFA begins.

    They added an extra letter so I can see how it happened.

    Yes, he is...hockey is not all about the stats...he was one of the top five two way players in the NHL during his career.  Same as Gainy, stats do not put him in the hall alone...but add his ability to play both ends of the ice at a top 5 level put both them in the hall...

    Agreed.  He has 3 Selke trophies and 3 Cup rings, and has a trophy named after him in the Q for best defensive forward.

    Carbonneau was a better choice than Zubov.  Neither is a "Hall of Famer" though IMO, although I could be convinced with Guy

    never one of the best forwards in the game. never a top 10 player.  did he ever play on a first line?   very nice player, surely not a Hall of Famer.  If you were never thought of one of the best at your position i just don't think you can be a Hall of Famer.  if you start letting guys like him in is Rod Brind'amout a Hall of Famer?

    hockey-reference.com does a similarity score for players whose career well are similar. here are the guys they compare Guy Carbonnneau too.  None of these guys are close to a Hall of Famer. so Carbonneau is because he played for the Canadians?

    When I think of Carbonneau, my first thought is this game

    A somewhat harmless looking play turned into two consecutive bench clearing brawls

    Based on stats Zubov is more deserving. A defenseman having more points than a center.

    That is hilarious.  I didn't renew my season ticket plan this year, last year was not as good as the year prior and Trump's tax changes cost me a lot.  I would like to go in that room and destroy a TV with his picture on it.
    Awesome that they are getting people to pay to do this, so funny
