Speculation: WHO is the greatest defensive defenseman in Carolina Hurricanes history?

[bluedevil58*]

What happened to Malec? I thought he was going to be our next true top pairing d man....

 

[Anton Babchuk]

"Silly trade. Lost a prospect and a potentially good pick for a goalie that another team doens't mind getting rid of (the Ducks have a solid prospect in Bryzgalov)."

"Ack, trading more D when we clearly need it??? Granted he's been down in Lowell pretty much, but uhhh, Rutherford...I dont know if youve noticed or not but our blueline isnt want it used to be as it is now. Trading away some Defensive prospects when we could use them in the future is kinda like shooting ourselves in the foot."

"I hate to say it, but the Mickey Mouse BS continues. With moves like this, I guess we better start being more pessimistic about the labor negotiations. Malec will be a good D man for Cincinatti/Anaheim next season."

I was curious to see how many defensemen in canes history have been named by this thread. I found this list of all-time Hurricanes players http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/display_players.php?tmi=5154

I'm not going to list who hasn't been mentioned if people want to keep naming all-time greats, but this thread is at 39/63 canes d-men. Think of it like the saddest sporcle ever. Brett Carson and Tim Conboy are listed as wingers on that site though (maybe 41/65 then?)

 

[nobuddy]

ROFL Andrew Alberts.

 

[Caniac125330]

Gritty veteran A. Wardo

 

[Joe McGrath]

Marc Andre Gragnani

 

[AD Skinner]

Alexandre Picard

Was Alberts really that bad of a d man here?

 

[Joe McGrath]

^And everywhere else, but especially here.
