Marcus Pettersson was drafted by Anaheim in 2014, debuted for the Ducks four years later, but was traded to the Penguins during the 2018-19 season.

Pettersson was with Pittsburgh for over six years and proved to be dependable on lockdown defense.  The Blueliner had his best offensive year in 2023-24 with career highs in Points (30) and a plus/Minus (+28), but despite the improvement, the Penguins went into selling mode and dealt the Defenseman to the Vancouver Canucks during the 2024-25 campaign.

With the Penguins, Pettersson had 141 Points with a Plus/Minus of +68.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. As such, it is important to us that the Memphis Grizzlies will be retiring the number 9 of Tony Allen.

The event will take place when the Grizzlies host Miami on March 15.

Allen joined Memphis in 2010 as a free agent after six years with Boston, where he was an NBA Champion (2006).  A Grizzly for seven years, Allen was Memphis’ starting Shooting Guard, was a six-time All-Defensive selection (three First Team and three Second Team), and finished in the top ten in Defensive Player of the Year voting five times.  He was also vital in Memphis’ 2013 Western Conference Finals appearance.  With Memphis, He played 462 games overall, averaging 8.9 points and 1.7 steals per game.

Allen will be the third player to have his number retired by Memphis, joining Marc Gasol (#33) and Zach Randolph (#50).

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Tony Allen for his impending honor.

A First Round Pick in 2014 (17^th Overall), Travis Sanheim is entering his eighth season in the NHL, where he is set to enter his prime.

A good two-way blueliner who can anchor the power play, Sanheim is known for his physical style of play and expert passing.  Improving annually, Sanheim is coming off his best offensive output (44 Points) and career highs in Blocked Shots (149). Last season, he had 170 Blocked Shots with 30 Points.
