Retirement comes too soon

By , August 30, 2009 2:14 pm

In some bad news this week, Mike Sillinger retired. I hate it when health takes the game away from a player whose as good as he is.So how does Mike Sillinger compare to the rest of his 89 1st round draft mates?

Total Games
Sillinger = 1049
89 = 9504 (an average of 475.2)

Total Points
Sillinger = 548
89 = 4480 (an average of 224)

Total PIMs
Sillinger = 644
89 = 10310 (an average of 515.5)

Total Teams Played for
Sillinger = 12
89 = 25 (Including Jets, Whalers and Nordiques in that count)

Double the average points and double the average games played. He was the man. I also like how 20 guys only managed to play for 25 different teams while he racked up 12. Goodbye Mike Sillinger, enjoy retirement.
