Here's an incredible stat I came across. Say what you want about +/-. Lee Stempniak finished 3rd for the Hurricanes with a +2. Defensemen Faulk, Tennyson, Hainsey, Hanifin and Dahlbeck were the five worst on the team between -12 to -19.
Second year defensemen Slavin and Pesce were 1st and 2nd on the team with +23 each.
Impressive.

Crawford said last week he was going to test the market because he felt he was good enough to be a starter. He even said his goodbyes on locker room cleanout day.
Good for the Blackhawks for getting something for a pending UFA after the deadline.
