Last name first, First name last

The Penguins signed forward Connor James today. The veteran of two NHL games seems likely to be a journeyman forward in Wilkes Barre. He did make the NCAA All-Tournament team en route to winning a National Championship with Denver. He'll never make the NHL's greatest hockey name team. No man with two first names ever should, unless you add "Battleship" between the names - like Bob Kelly.

He joins other Penguins with two first names:
Peter Allen
Russ Anderson
Rick Berry (and coach Bob Berry)
Tom Cassidy
Marv, Gary and Roy Edwards
Jeff Daniels
Shean Donovan
Gary Edwards
Ron Francis
Jim Hamilton
Paul Harrison
Grant Jennings
Stan Jonathan
Chris Joseph
Peter Lee
Todd Nelson
Kevin Stevens
Bob & Mark Taylor
Jeff Toms
