Brian Campbell was never the best, but his longevity stands out among NHL peers

Brian Campbell officially hung up the skates on an impressive 17-year NHL career on Monday. He’s joining the Blackhawks’ front office, where he’ll keep trying to make a positive impact off the ice, just like he always did on it.

In the history of the NHL, Campbell’s accomplishments might not seem that grand. He never won a Norris Trophy or led the league in a major statistic. His only major award was the 2012 Lady Byng Trophy. Campbell’s most impressive hardware, by far, is the 2010 Stanley Cup he won with the Blackhawks.
