#19 – FORWARD, GUY CARBONNEAU

Simply one of the best defensive centers in NHL history, Guy Carbonneau was a consummate professional and overall pleasant guy; but, that was just off the ice.

On, you may ask, Carbonneau was the preeminent two-way forward of his era, scoring 15 or more goals in 10 consecutive seasons with the Montreal Canadiens – three of which he won the Frank J. Selke Trophy as the best defensive forward.

As a Star, the 5’11” righty killed penalties at will and provided a serviceable point total each and every year. Think of the defensive forwards on the Dallas Stars right now (Radek Faksa, Curtis McKenzie, etc); Carbonneau was that and then some.

Carbonneau, in his Dallas career, tallied 34 goals and 66 assists as an exclusively defensive specialist, assisting the Stars in winning the 1999 Stanley Cup – his third of his career. Carbonneau amassed a total of 1,318 career games in the NHL with Montreal, Dallas, and St. Louis. Carbonneau also served as head coach of the Habs for three seasons.
