I picked a player, but did I pick the right one? Borje Salming is a hall of famer, the #21 is retired for him and he has a statue outside the ACC. You tell me. Is Salming the man for the number?

The past few numbers have been a choice between two or three players, but this one is an easy decision. Borje Salming wore #21 for sixteen years. He proved the Don Cherry’s of the world wrong who thought European players were all soft and couldn’t fit in with the Canadian style of hockey at the time.
