4x all star for us. Gets a lot of hate these days for his contract and the return we got, but was an incredible player for us. Can only hope Jiricek becomes a player close to as good. My highlight of course has to be the GWG in our historic comeback in game one against Tampa.

My favorite memory is definitely his GWG against Tampa in game 1. He was probably the most important contributor to our success during the Torts years.
The guy gets too much flak nowadays for being a bit overpaid, to the point that he is now underrated. He’s not a true 1D who can carry a defense on his own like prime Hedman but he is a clear top-pairing guy who can really excel with the right partner. I would bet on his game aging well too, he’s going to be a very valuable player for the Hawks as the team fills out around Bedard.

It’s crazy looking back, just how young he was when he came over. He really stepped into a strong role here at 21
