Anyone who’s read PenguinPoop for any length of time knows there are certain players I’ve always coveted.
For example, I’ve long held Blackhawks captain and power forward Nick Foligno in the highest esteem. Warrior, leader, solid producer, especially in his prime. Quick to defend a teammate.
The same goes for rugged Devils defender Brenden Dillon. Heck, I’ve would gladly have taken a flyer on the Canadiens’ Josh Anderson, a speedy, 227-pound Mack Truck of a forward long rumored to be on the trading block.
If you’ve noticed these guys are all cut from the same bristling bolt of cloth, you’re right.
