  1. Seems like last post I missed the mark with the inclusion of Pronger on the Edmonton list. The comments were pretty unanimous in saying he didn’t really fit the theme. Apologies to Oilers fans for that one. Hopefully I did better this time around.

    Here are the previous editions:

    Edit: Correction, Sean Burke should be 66 games between 1998-99 and 1999-00

  2. Not putting kovalev in here is kind of crazy but the rest were pretty spot on to what I was thinking

  3. BananApocalypse

    Niemi rocking a Penguins blocker/glove combo in a Panthers jersey is crazy. 5 GP across those two teams combined.

  4. jonathan_ericsson

    The wings let Igor walk as a UFA and then traded right back for him after he played those 26 games lol

  5. This would have been one of the best teams to list Derick Brassard as it was his shortest stint I think.

  6. I met Tim Thomas at an autograph signing after practice one day. He seemed a bit grumpy, but then again I might be grumpy too if I had to sign autographs in the Florida heat after practice.

  7. NoGiCollarChoke

    I for some reason felt like Bertuzzi was there for longer than 7 games

  8. gletschertor

    Panthers blue jersey is one of my favourite in NHL history

  9. ChrisKS3717

    As a leaf fan it was weird to see Belfour and Joe leave in the same off season to Florida

  10. SteamboatBilly15

    really wanted us to get a cup for G and jumbo

  11. sabres_guy

    I was waiting for the Florida one and expected it to have 100 plus players in the list. So many guys had a pit stop there at one point.

  12. i_pump_rumps

    Sean Burke played 59 games as a starter the year before so totally 66 games for the cats, Kirk McLean on the otherhand only played 37 so id switch them out, nice list otherwise!
    (Edit) And of course the whitdog Ryan Whitney

  13. gooch_norris_

    This really helped with puckdoku today thank you

  14. Ewwwwww, giroux in anything but orange is just gross

  15. 204Spencer

    I actually had literally no idea Thornton played for Florida at all, I have 0 memory of this.

  16. OrganicSciFi

    Iā€™d add Jagr, kind of the old school meets the newer franchise

  17. FrankDrebin5

    This might be the best one yet, very few of these guys I remember playing for Florida

  18. Willing-Bear4862

    No Jagr?
    How long was he here after Jersey?

  19. Anyone else remember when Chad Kilger got traded to FLA in 2008 and retired instead of playing for them?

  20. DustBowl20

    Bonus player: Kamil Kreps – 232 GP over the years – and the creator of a particular blade patternā€¦

  21. MisterMaryJane

    They had a good amount of Wings players on there. But fuck Dino

  22. here4enneagram

    Florida Panther Tim Thomas is weirdly a core memory for me

  23. v13ragnarok7

    You could add Gary Roberts to this list, too.

  24. Sharko1905

    For this team you could probably do multiple lists. Iā€™m so damn grateful that weā€™ve finally managed to evolve from being the team where star players go to play in their twilight years.

  25. heythisisnick

    The only team Usual team for Dmitry Kulikov.

  26. Holy_Nerevar

    Eric Staal on the Florida Panthers is famous for not wanting to wear the pride jersey.

  27. BillThePsycho

    John Madden John Madden John Madden John Madden

    Aieou
