Mailed out: November 24, 2014Returned: December 9, 2014
Selected 3rd overall by the Washington Capitals in 1981 Bob Carpenter was projected to be the next big super star of the NHL, he was the first ever American hockey player to be featured on the front of Sports Illustrated. He would put up 3 solid 60 point campaigns with the Caps before blowing up and putting up a 53 goal season. After a falling out with Capitals coach Carpenter would be moved to New York, would in turn trade him again that season to Los Angeles. He would sign with Boston, reinventing himself into a strong two way forward, helping lead them to a cup final appearance.
Carpenter would win the one cup as a player, and two more as an assistant coach with the New Jersey Devils.
