A solid player at Michigan Tech, Matt Roy was drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in the Seventh Round in 2015, and would join the organization to years later.  After another two years, Roy was called up to the parent club and has provided solid defense ever since.

Roy is a traditional stay-at-home blueliner who rarely makes mistakes.  Offensively, he is able to contribute, and has produced at least 20 Points the last three years, but he is at his best when he stays in his own end.  Roy will never be a superstar, but every team needs a player like him.

Boston Red Sox have announced that three new former players; Dustin Pedroia, Jonathan Papelbon and Trot Nixon will be inducted into their franchise Hall of Fame as the Class of 2024.

Pedroia played his entire career in Boston where he was the 2007 AL Rookie of the Year, 2008 AL MVP and was a four-time All-Star.  He won two World Series Rings and smacked 1,805 Hits for the team.

Papelbon was a four-time All-Star in Boston and recorded 219 Saves for the team.  He was also their closer in their 2007 World Series Championship.

Nixon was a member of the 2004 Word Series Championship Team and played ten years with Boston. He had 912 Hits and 133 Home Runs for the Red Sox.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the impending members of the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame.

The Calgary Flames were informed by their top Wing, Matthew Tkachuk, that he had no interest in resigning a long-term deal.  They found a quick suitor in Florida, who gave up a lot to get the forward, but in the brief time we are looking at this list, it seems to be well worth it.

In his first season that Tkachuk played for the Panthers, he set a career-high in 109 Points and was a Second Team All-Star.  Tkachuk also led Florida into the Easter Conference Finals, and was the playoff leader in Penalty Minutes (74) and Game-Winning Goals (4).  Tkachuk was awarded a Second Team All-Star, was third in Hart voting, and even received Frank J. Selke votes as the best defensive forward.  Last season, he again was great with 88 Points, and he a goal-saving dive on an empty net in the Finals (though Edmonton scored a second later), but at the end of the day, Tkachuk was hoisting the Stanley Cup.

He might have only been a Panther for one year as of this writing, but it is one of the best of any winger in franchise history, and for a team that has such a brief history, Tkachuk belongs in this spot

Brandon Montour was traded from the Buffalo Sabres to Florida for their playoff run in 2021, and since his arrival he has ascended to one of their top Defenseman.

In Montour’s first full season in Florida, he scored 37 Points, three more than his previous best, but in 2022-23, he exploded in Points with 73, much of which was due to a new role on the power play.  He returned back to the previous level in 2023-24 with 33 Points, but he provided depth on Florida's run to their first Stanley Cup.  It was a great end for Montour in Florida, as he signed with the Seattle Kraken as a Free Agent afterward.

Montour had 147 Points with a Plus/Minus of +33.
