Certainly hope this is Rhino’s turn finally. I’m a little perplexed that it could even be close. Mccrimmon is a great player, but he had three seasons with the club. He was a steadying, solid presence on the 1989 team and when Suter went down, his importance elevated. But he has three seasons.
Brodie is a nice player and has tenure but not even close to the class of these guys.
I get Phaneuf a little, he had three excellent seasons with the club. Never made it out of the first round.
I have said it before but Reinhart is the second leading scorer among all players for the franchise in the playoffs. That alone gets him on the team.
But he was an excellent defenseman in the regular season too and if he hadn’t had such a hard time staying on the ice, he’d be an all time franchise great. Actually in my mind he is. Some deep playoff runs where he played great clinches it for me.
