Now that former NHL goalie Mike Vernon has become the special assistant to Brian Lawton, Tampa Bay's vice president of hockey operations, I'll have to add another stack to my Lightning-only puck-hounding want list. And, no, I'm not complaining.
Not only did Vernon win Stanley Cups with Calgary (1998-99 season) and Detroit (1996-97 season, winning the Conn Smythe), but he also won a Memorial Cup with the Portland Winter Hawks of the Western Hockey League.
Though he's not in the Hall of Fame, a player of Vernon's stature is certainly worthy of pursuing an NHL career collection. Maybe I'll make it a side project this season, meaning I'll also need pucks of the Lightning, Panthers and Sharks.
