Why not put a guy who was on the other end of horrible career-ending injuries in charge of player safety? What's Marc Savard doing these days?

The reality is you don't want anyone who was on either end of the spectrum adjudicating these affairs. No goons and no injury prone guys. What you want is a halfway intelligent guy who was relatively durable and tough to play against, but not dirty in any way.

My vote goes for the recently retired Justin Williams.
