I guess I should have mentioned this this morning.

Seems like a no brainer. Good for him.

Anaheim: Teemu Selanne
Atlanta: Jim Slater
Boston: Mark Recchi
Buffalo:
Calgary:
Carolina: Rod Brind’Amour
Chicago:
Colorado: Matt Hendricks

Edmonton:
Florida: Bryan Allen
Los Angeles: Brad Richardson
Minnesota:
Montreal: Jaroslav Halak
Nashville:
New Jersey: Patrik Elias

Gustavsson is the guy i think will take, 2 heart surgerys since training camp.

Yeah, Gustavsson is also a great choice considering the surgeries and then how he turned his game up at the end of the season.

Not only that but Gus also lost his mother in May.

And he's a Leaf.

Teemu has won it before... I didn't think you can win it more than once in your career

Uninspiring list if you don't mind me saying.

I would have put Alfie on that -- fractured jaw (1 game); knee surgery (3 games); shoulder injury (supposed to be 6 weeks, back in, what, 3?).

I think Erik Johnson will win it.

Chelios?

For falling out of a golf cart

In that case give it to Foster, since his injury is something that still happens on the ice.
