McSorley was Gretzky's protector! Any such pairing exist today?

Question

which superstar player has a "right & left" hand man by him at all times?

Answer 1

-I'd say Zdeno Chara protecting Marc Savard is pretty good.

Answer 2

During the 06-07 season, Jagr was whining about being hit all the time, so the Rangers went out and got Avery and put him with Jagr.  

Answer 3

The game has changed a lot since then.. most of your protectors dont play on the same lines as the protectees! Most of them (for the most part) are 5 to 10 min a game specialists that are told when to go after a certain individual when its warranted. Back in the day, your protectors played many more minutes, not always on the line with the stars.

Guys like Nystrom, Gillies, McSorley, etc played alot more mins than the protectors (enforcers) do today. So you dont see as much of the McSorley/Gretzky tandems that used to exist.

Answer 4

TNA....Chara is a D-man. He's hardly on a line with Savard.
