Mullen, Savard given highest accolade
Hockey’s highest scoring American and one of the game’s most dazzling performers were given the green light into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Three-time Stanley Cup champion and 500-goal scorer Joe Mullen joined super-skilled Denis Savard as this year’s inductees, the selection committee announced June 15. Another of the game’s great superstars, however, was not. Dale Hawerchuk, the 13th-highest scorer in NHL history with 1,409 points, was turned down by the Hall of Fame. (See pg. 2 for more on Hawerchuk.) Legendary USA Hockey president Walter Bush was inducted in the builders category. “It’s an honor and a privilege for me,” Mullen said. “I got chills going up and down my spine.” Mullen, 43, became the highest scoring U.S.-born player of all-time despite having never been drafted and not scoring his first NHL point until…
Agent calls team ‘cavalier’ for not signing scoring ace
The Buffalo Sabres signed two top prospects recently, but all the talk was about the one that got away. Buffalo signed Norm Milley and Andrew Peters, but passed on Brad Moran. Moran was a Western League all-star, but GM Darcy Regier said the club made a decision because of money and because they projected the center as a minor league pro. Peters and Milley were selected in the second round of the 1998 draft. Milley was the team’s No. 8 prospect in THN’s Future Watch, while Peters and Moran were not among the top 10. “(They) add some ingredients I think down the road will pay off,” Regier said. “It gives us depth and talent.” Regier said it was unfortunate to lose Moran, but rejected agent Art Breeze’s contention the player was disrespected. “Brad is an…
Bordeleau, Sims, MacLean coaching casualties
The Turner Cup hadn’t even been crated up for its year-long stay in Chicago when at least three International League teams decided to change coaches. The Detroit Vipers, winners of the 1997 Turner Cup, fell hard in 1999-2000, their first as the primary affiliate of the Tampa Bay Lightning. After Paulin Bordeleau coached the Vipers to a 22-52-8 mark, the worst in the league, Lightning GM Rick Dudley replaced him with former Vipers’ defenseman and IHL all-star Brad Shaw, a member of that 1997 championship team. Shaw, 36, was an assistant with the Lightning under Steve Ludzik this past season. His playing career spanned 15 seasons, 11 in the NHL. In Milwaukee, the Admirals did make the playoffs, but chose not to renew the contract of Al Sims, who was 118-98-30 in three…
