Re: Around The League: 2014 - 2015 Season
The same Patrick Roy who, after coaching a decade in the Q, never saw a goalie developed under him other than Cedrick Desjardins? And that he's been publicly lambasted by Louis Domingue (and subsequently backed up by Peter Delmas)?

They probably exchanged notes on this rather sordid detail of their lives.

François Brassard, Peter Delmas & Louis Domingue were all drafted.
Maybe they remained no-names because Roy did jack shit to help them outside of make their lives hell?

Choosing NHL's top franchise player.
Craig Custance asked a dozen NHL executives, coaches and players to send in their top five franchise picks, in order, then assigned point values for each vote to come up with an overall ranking.
To keep things simple, there were no other factors brought to the table. It was simply a request to pick the five best players to build a franchise around. In all, the panel is made up of four current team executives (assistant GM or GM), one former GM, four current head coaches, one respected assistant coach and a player from each conference. The ballot of one of the coaches was excluded from the point total because he preferred not to rank them in any particular order. (The excluded ballot looked like this: Jonathan Toews, Steven Stamkos, Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and Jamie Benn.)

Re: Around The League: 2014 - 2015 Season
I'm still puzzled at how people would pick Toews (a 60-70 points guy playing with awesome linemates) over Crosby (generational guy playing with average or above average linemates)
But i'm just a fan...I guess we gotta trust hockey people's judgements...

Hawk recently won 2 cups recently so that helps. Toews also has a great work ethic and dressing room impact. I guess that could explain people choosing him over Crosby. Crosby health issue might be a concern as well.
What I notice from that list though is that we have 2 players listed. THe only goaltender + the second defenceman, just beind doughty. Only pitts have 2 guys listed (crosby, malkin).

Crosby on that team would certainly have at least two cups too though.
