Incredible discussion about the most one-sided trades of all time yesterday. Picking our three winners is tough, so today on the hockeybuzzcast, Russ, Mike and I will be discussing your entries and then tomorrow I will be posting the winners along with the most interesting entries...
My next rivalry all-time team game, streaming tonight, is Rangers vs. Islanders.
Lets look at the Islanders..
Whenever selecting a "best of" or "greatest" the parameters need to be really well defined....So, here are the parameters in this process...
1. The player has to have played at least 100 games in the uniform. regular season and playoffs 2. The evaluation is judged based on ONLY the time spent with the specific organization so no Gordie Howe on the Hurricanes/Whalers 3. Not a longevity test. Purely talent. Pretend these players at their best with the organization are all available to you. 4. Forwards positions don't matter. You are not cutting a truly great talent because you already have 4 centers. You would make him into a wing.
So here are my top 12 Islanders forwards..(with a little help from my Islanders friends..) Trottier, Bossy, Gillies, Palffy, Lafontaine, Flatley, Tavares, Barzal, Tonelli, Turgeon, Nystrom, Goring...Any debates?
Top 6 Islanders D... Potvin, Morrow, Stefan Persson, Kenny Jonsson, Dave Langevin, Bryan McCabe Top Goalies... Billy Smith, Kelly Hrudey
Any debates?
See you all later on to WATCH LIVE HOCKEY.
