1932 NHL Offseason
Eddie Shore takes home his 3rd Hart Trophy.
Charlie Gardiner wins his third straight Vezina Trophy as the leagues best goalie. I’ve talked about
Tiny Thompson,
Alec Connell,
George Hainsworth, but have given very little time to
Gardiner. Well,
Gardiner is obviously the leagues best goalie right now. Those Vezina’s and 3 cup rings prove it! Here are the 1932 award winners.
Here are the league all-stars for the season
Maroons all over the place!! 6 members of the team get all-star honors!
After a year absence, the
Senators rejoin the league. They don’t have any players anymore though. They will be starting from scratch. I’m gonna take an educated guess and say this isn’t gonna go to well or last too long….
With
Ottawa returning to the league, the NHL has awarded them the first overall pick in the draft.
They select 18 year old netminder
Turk Broda. He looks like a fantastic pick, who one day should be an elite goalie. Problem is he’s an 18 year old, and
Ottawa will have no talent. He needs to grow up really fast!
The
Chicago Black Hawks make a move that shows us why they are at the bottom of the league.
A year removed from being the first overall draft pick,
Gordie Drillon is moved to
Detroit for two journeymen.
Drillon was part of a nice young core that included
Red Horner,
Earl Seibert,
Toe Blake and
Sweeney Schriner. In a few years, that group could do some damage.
Drillon looked like the best potential forward in the group. Looking at the
Chicago depth chart,
Callighen slots in as the number 11 defenseman, and
Gordon as the #5 winger. Dumb.
Boston trades their 1st round pick for a goalie.
This is a great move by the
Bruins. Their goaltending wasn’t great, but with
Lorne Chabot, they very well could be the best team in the American division. With
Eddie Shore and
Babe Siebert, the
Bruins now have a real shot of playing in the Stanley Cup.
