The Canucks are having a hell of an off-season so far. 
Didn’t even 7x7 Tyler Myers yet.

Luongo's goodbye letter makes no reference to the Islanders.

Neither did my wife’s when she retired.
seeing the projected hall of fame class for next year...it is beyond ridiculous that Marian hossa is eligible because he hasn't played in 3 years, but he is still an active player on arizona for 3 more years. the clock shouldn't start until you retire...but then again atleast he wasn't given a job by the league and voted into the hall of fame while still on arizona like chris pronger

When both are retired, I would definitely watch a Lundqvist Luongo food travelogue.

It's pretty depressing that the 2 best goalies of this past generation will very possibly end up without a ring.
Both of them will have nightmares of empty nets chasing them down a dark hallway. Hank's will be curtesy of Nash and even more so, Glass with his empty net flubb in regards to Loungo.

I actually think Wickenheiser and York are the most deserving of the group. Zubov was really really good and is somewhat arguable. Nedomansky?--not for what he did in the WHA or NHL-- Carbonneau was just a good player--not really deserving IMO--and Jim Rutherford? WTF!--some kind of Penguins bias for the two recent Cups--that's it. He was an average NHL goalie and a very average NHL GM before he lucked into the Penguins gig--that was just timing. Wait a couple years when Crosby, Malkin and Letang start really hitting the skids---the Penguins are going to collapse and Rutherford's not going to be able to handle it.

Bettman really lost the momentum there, the dead puck era should've been stopped before it started

If they're going to put Guy Carbonneau in the HHOF, they should retire #37 league-wide.

Hughes is going to wear 86.

It started with them and apparently it's only going to get worse.
Lafreniere is going to wear 75 or something.

If that’s true, he should be tried as a war criminal. Appalling, offensive, and thoroughly indecent.
And he doesn’t have a name like “Wojtek Wolski” to balance it out either.

No relation to Sergei, Joe
As much as I'd like to blame millennials for the trend(or anything else for that matter), it kinda started in the 80s & 90s. When Joe Sakic was a rookie in 1988, he wore #88 for the season. I believe he only did it for a year & then switched to 19. Bret Lindros wore #75 for the Isles. There were others, but I'm drawing a blank at the moment.
I've never hoped a player wore a number more than I want him to wear 45 then
