GMRwings1983 8,793 Report post Posted September 13, 2010 I was thinking of prominent players who had some brief stints with franchises you forget they ever played for. Many of these came at the end of that player's career, but some others are early in a career or in the middle. Also, I know Glenn Hall didn't have a bad stint in Detroit, but I alway forget that he played for the Wings at one time. Mark Messier - Canucks Igor Larionov - Panthers/Devils Ron Francis - Leafs Brett Hull - Coyotes Eric Lindros - Stars/Leafs Luc Robitaille - Penguins Doug Harvey - Red Wings Sergei Fedorov - Blue Jackets Markus Naslund - Penguins Brian Leetch - Bruins/Leafs Glenn Hall - Red Wings So what are some others you can think of?

Mats Sundin - Quebec Nordiques Teemu Selanne - Winnipeg Jets (I remember it when I think of his rookie rekord). Peter Forsberg - Nashville Predators (as brief as they come).

Frozen-Man 144 Report post Posted September 13, 2010 Hatcher on the Wings is the one for me. I thought he would be a great addition for the Wings but with with the injury and all it was pretty much a non-event. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted September 13, 2010 Ray Whitney's stint in Detroit Marian Hossa's stint in Pittsburgh Zdeno Chara's time with the Islanders Goride Howe's stint with the Hartford Whalers Pavel Bure's time with the Rangers those are just a few that come to mind...

Louisville 112 Report post Posted September 13, 2010 Igor Larionov playing for the Sharks before he was a Red Wing. Todd Bertuzzi's first team was the Islanders. Kariya and Selanne in Colorado was supposed to guarantee them the cup that year, and I'm pretty sure both players had career lows. John Vanbiesbrouck played for the Philadelphia Flyers, New York Islanders & New Jersey Devils but I can only picture him on the Panthers and Rangers (also, didn't know the guy grew up in Detroit). Joey Kocur played about 7 games for the Vancouver Canucks before he came to the Wings. Claude Lemieux was on the China Sharks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,793 Report post Posted September 13, 2010 Some really good ones there guys. I totally forgot Belfour with the Sharks. Also, I didn't include Howe's stint in Hartford, because it wasn't all that bad. It's sort of memorable, because of that All Star game in 1980 and because he was in his 50's when he was playing. He played better than any other 51 year old could in the NHL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edicius 3,269 Report post Posted September 13, 2010 Holy hell, I didn't even know at all that Belfour played 13 games with San Jose in 1996-97 - had to look it up on TSN to even see when it happened. Looking at his stats, I guess he wasn't much help for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,793 Report post Posted September 13, 2010 Hasek - Chicago Trottier - Pittsburgh Luongo - Islanders Coffey - Boston Klima - 2nd time with Wings Lindros - Toronto & Dallas (I honestly forgot he had played at all post-lockout) Trottier was a shell of his former self in Pittsburgh, but they did win some Cups with him centering the 3rd line and I think his experience definitely helped that brief dynasty. Reminds me of Modano's potential status here in Detroit next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
