Raffi Torres – Forward, Free Agent

Every sport has to have a bad boy. The kind of player who undoubtedly has talent, but is also either stubborn, unpredictable or likes to color outside the lines. Enter Raffi Torres. Unfortunately Torres has become more known for his illegal hits (497 career penalty minutes and 74 total game suspensions) than his play in recent years. But when he does play by the rules he has shown flashes of brilliance. His 260 career points (137 goals, 123 assists) shows that he can shoot the puck when needed. He spent the preseason with the Carolina Hurricanes on a tryout basis, but is currently a free agent. If he can change his aggressive style of play and focus on his offensive abilities, he may get another chance.
