The NHL has seen some greats that stick out for their time with one specific franchise. What if we told you that they didn’t only play for that one team? Remember when Bruins Legend Bobby Orr was a Blackhawk? Us either. Here is a list of players you might not remember making the rosters of other teams.
Speaking of… he only played 26 games as a Blackhawk at the end of his career, but he had 27 points!
The Great One stopped in the Midwest for one season after his time with the Kings and before his time with the Rangers.
Known for his time with Colorado, he spent the 2006-07 season with two teams; Philadelphia and Nashville, appearing in 17 games with the latter.
One of the longer tenures of a player in an unfamiliar place for this list. Moose played for Vancouver for three seasons before moving back to the New York Rangers. He was even the Canucks’ captain.
The leading scorer of the Arizona Coyotes franchise. The Finnish Flash played for them back when they were the original Winnipeg Jets, and won the Stanley Cup with the Anaheim Ducks. But, Selänne suited up for the Avs for 78 games.
He is regarded as one of the greatest Red Wings of all time, but at the end of his career, Feds played two-ish seasons in the nation’s capital.
Brodeur spent 21 years as a New Jersey Devil, but he finished his Hall of Fame career in St. Louis, where he earned 3 wins to push his total to 688. Maybe that’s why he is in those Enterprise commercials.
Before coaching the Montreal Canadiens, St. Louis was most known for his time with the Lightning and perhaps with the Rangers, but he started his legendary career with the Calgary Flames.
The Hall of Famer spent 20 years with the Stars, before appearing in 40 games in his final season with the Red Wings. He scored 4 goals with Detroit to finish with 557 for his career.
A year after the lockout, Hull, 41, debuted for the Coyotes wearing his father’s No. 9. He switched to No. 16 and only appeared in 5 games for the franchise, which had relocated from Winnipeg in 1996.
“I am very proud of what I have accomplished in my career, but at 41, I felt that it was time to move on,” Hull said.
The man who arguably profited the most by playing on a line with Gretzky, he also, weirdly had a similar career path — started in Edmonton, moved to LA, played 14 games with the Rangers in 1995-96, and then bounced to Anaheim and Colorado.
The Hall of Famer recorded 1 goal and 4 assists in his brief stint in N.Y.
There are a lot of legends who ended up playing for the Maple Leafs. Many names could go here, but we are going with Brian Leetch, who played for the Rangers for 17 years and only 15 games for the Leafs.
Oats played for seven franchises during his 19-year, Hall of Fame career.
But his shortest stint was his 14 games with the Flyers during the 2001-02 season, tallying 10 points.
Coffey played for several teams during his 21-year career, but only had a cup of coffee with Chicago, playing in 10 games with the Blackhawks before moving on to Carolina.
