from Joe McDonald of ESPN,

Bill Guerin accomplished quite a bit during his 18 seasons in the NHL. He the Stanley Cup twice with the New Jersey Devils (1995) and the Pittsburgh Penguins (2009), but he could be considered one of those players on the bubble for induction into the Hall of Fame.

Case For

The former first-round pick (No. 5 overall) by the Devils in the 1989 draft played for eight different teams during his career, including New Jersey, Edmonton Oilers, Boston Bruins, Dallas Stars, St. Louis Blues, San Jose Sharks, New York Islanders and Penguins. He posted 429 goals and 427 assists for 856 points in 1,263 games. Guerin recorded a career-high with 41 goals during the 2001-02 season with his hometown Bruins. He registered a career-high 69 points for the Stars in 2003-04. The talented right winger reached the 30-goal plateau three times. Even when his teams couldn’t finish the job, Guerin always did his. Case in point: During the 2001-02 season, the Bruins finished first in the Northeast Division and could have done some serious damage in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Unfortunately for Boston, the Montreal Canadiens won the quarterfinals series, 4-2. Guerin had four goals and two assists for six points in those six games for the Bruins. Guerin participated in seven major international events for Team USA, including three Winter Olympic Games in 1998, 2002 and 2006. He won silver in 2002. He also won a gold medal at the 1996 World Cup.
