Players who played forever but didn't hit the 1000 NHL games mark?

[MadArcand]

I remember him.

Despite scoring 34 goals over his first three seasons, he scored no more than 8 goals per year, most often less, over the 10+ more years of his career.

I remember Eagles as my #1 center whenever I played NHL98 and made the team by trading everyone for the worst rated players in the game.

 

[Moose Head]

The name that pops into my mind without thinking is Tomas Kaberle, but I don't know if you could say someone who played his last game 3 days after his 35th birthday "played forever".
It's funny, I think if you take a 33 year old defenseman who's midway through a 47-point season and say he's going to play for 3 more NHL teams and win a Stanley Cup before his career is up, you'd be pretty surprised if that was followed up with "and he'll do that while playing only 106 more games from here on out". He had a lot of staying power, and then he didn't.

Never came across as the best conditioned athlete which could explain his dramatic decline. Imo his natural talent took him very far:

 

[ES]

Jyrki Lumme had games in 15 seasons and a total of 985 games.

 

[sr edler]

Alex Edler is a still active guy in his 15th season as a regular who currently sits at 951 RS games, but is currently on the Kings injury list on a one-year deal, so won't hit it this year, and doubtful (?) if he gets another deal (and probably doesn't want to sign with Arizona or Buffalo next year).

I don't follow the Kings, so don't know what happened injury wise this time around, but he's had his fair share of injuries over the years.

 

[brachyrynchos]

This is an interesting sub-question - most seasons/fewest games.

Zac Dalpe has played in 11 different seasons (over a 12-season span) with 154 games.

Nolan Baumgartner played 10 seaons (over a 15-season span) with 143 games.

Has anyone played in 10+ seasons with under 100 total games played?

Not sure if he's the correct answer but Nolan Yonkman ended up with 76 games from 2001-'02 up to the end of the '13-'14 season. He had a stretch of time in the AHL before catching on with Phoenix and I think Tampa or Florida. Finished in Anaheim before going to Finland.
Ken Gernander had 9 yrs between his debut and last NHL game and played 12 games ('95-96 - '03-04).

Edler was playing terrific before his injury and will certainly get another deal if he wants to continue playing.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

two canucks draft picks, michel petit and jj daigneault

Willie Mitchell (907 GP) made a cameo as a Devils callup in March 2000 and played his last NHL game in January 2016 with Florida.

Jassen Cullimore: 812 games over 15 seasons. Averaged 56 games per season

It seemed like Dana Murzyn was around forever, but he only played 838 games.

gerald diduck

Sami Salo 15 for 875.

Jyrki Lumme had games in 15 seasons and a total of 985 games.

wow, the curse of the canucks dmen

michel petit: drafted 11th overall in 1982, first call up was 1983, made the NHL as a regular in 1984 after getting called up from the olympic team, first full season was 1985, played for ten different teams and lasted in the NHL until 1998, continued playing in the IHL and europe until 2002 — 827 games over parts of 16 seasons, 19 playoff games

jj daigneault: drafted 10th overall in 1984, was an NHL regular right out of the draft, played for ten different teams and was a player until 2000, with a single game with the wild in 2001 — 899 games over parts of 16 seasons, 99 playoff games (and a cup) bring him right up against but not quite to 1,000

willie mitchell: late round pick in 1996, first call up was in 2000, made the NHL as a regular player in 2001 when he was traded from new jersey to the wild to rent sean o'donnell, was a 20+ minute dman over the next 15 years (including the lockout year and one totally lost injury year between LA cups) — 907 games over parts of 15 seasons, stretched over 17 years, 89 playoff games also leaves him just shy of 1,000

jassen cullimore: second rounder in 1991 (29th overall, would be a late first today), made the league in the '95 lockout season and was in and out of the lineup for four years in vancouver and montreal before catching on as a regular player after tampa picked him up off waivers midway through the '98 season, played a regular shift until 2009, spent all of 2010 on chicago's farm team (but was a black ace on that shameful shameful team), played the first half of the 2011 season with chicago before spending the rest of the year back on the farm, then one year in germany — 812 games over parts of 15 seasons over 17 years, 35 playoff games

dana murzyn: 5th overall pick in 1985, regular player right out of the draft and made the all-rookie team, everyday player until 1997, two more in and out of the lineup years takes him to 1999 — 838 games over 14 seasons, 82 playoff games

gerald diduck: 16th overall pick in 1983, played a full year in the league in 1985, bounced back and forth between the islanders and their farm for the next two years, then was a very good stay at home dman from '88 to '98, before aging out between '99 and '01 — 932 games over parts of 17 seasons, 114 in the playoffs takes him to 1,056 total games

sami salo: third last pick in the 1996 draft, as an almost 22 year old european league overager, came over in '99, stuck around long enough to play in the 2014 olympics (at 39 years old), was always injured — 878 games over 15 seasons over 16 years, 102 in the playoffs takes him to 980 total

jyrki lumme: 3rd rounder in 1986, came over in '89, regular player from 1990 to his retirement in 2003 — 985 games over 14 seasons and change, 105 playoff games pushes him comfortably over 1,000 total

alex edler: in year 16, 951 games (and counting...? i expect him to play next year if he wants to and would be surprised to see him not eventually hit 1,000, even if the last few are back in vancouver and just for show on a two-week league minimum tryout contract)

i'd add doug lidster (897 games over 15 seasons and a call up) and garth butcher (also 897 games, but over a 13 and change year career that felt longer—for ref, bieksa and ohlund, whose careers felt shorter to me, both also played 13 years, their bodies breaking down at just about 800 and 900 games, respectively)

whereas steve staios, a guy who i was never even sure was still in the league, played the same 16-odd season career as most of these other guys and made it to 1,001 games

 

[hacksaw7]

Staios I wouldve guessed....600 or so games? But he played until 38. Def a guy I forgot was in the league as long as he was (like Luke Richardson)

 

[seventieslord]

Since this thread went in this direction, this is as good a place as any to mention Jarred Tinordi. He has to be one of the leaders in "most seasons played, fewest games".

He's now playing in his ninth NHL season and has only 189 career games. I'm sure there are a couple players who've been in nine NHL seasons who have even fewer games than that, but there can't be many more than that.

even more drastically, jarrod skalde, who sadly has been in the news recently, had an 18 year pro career.

he played 115 NHL games, spread out over 12 seasons, from fall 1990 to spring of 2002.

top 30 pick out of oshawa in the 89 draft, just as lindros was about to join them, and became a hockey lifer in every sense of the word. starred in the O, the A, and the IHL, played in the swiss league, the swedish elite league, the austrian league, and even the japanese league before finishing as a player coach back in the IHL, which who knew that it even still existed in 2008.

his coaching career then took him to the ECHL after the IHL folded, and he worked his way up from an assistant in the AHL to interim head coach, then head coach with guelph in the OHL, and most recently as an assistant in the AHL again with wilkes-barre before he was let go recently for... probably not very good reasons.

^^^here's one, in fact

 

[Michael Farkas]

Tagging along...not a winner, but a contender...

Bryan Muir. Debuted in 1995-96, played until 2006-07. Seven teams (two different positions, as I think he played LD and a bit of LW). 279 games.

 

[JianYang]

Andrei Markov played 990 RS games with Montreal, spread between 00-01 and 16-17.

It's kind of sad. Markov was just starting to get his recognition in 07-08 when he put up 64 points on a first place team.

Then what were supposed to he his prime years between 2009 and 2012 were filled with freak injuries and multiple surgeries. He came back in 2013 and was still good, but it was those prime years where he lost alot of games.

He was close to 1000 games, and he was also one point away from being solely the 2nd all time in points by Habs dman behind only Larry Robinson.

Oddly enough, Montreal took out Pittsburgh in 2010 without Markov, and then took Boston to game 7 overtime the following year also without Markov for the whole series and pretty much the whole season. But in general, montreal's record without Markov over his whole tenure was abysmal compared to when he was in the lineup.

 

[solidmotion]

Rick DiPietro; first game in 2000, last game in 2013.

In those 13 years (11 seasons) he played 318 games.

and he's getting paid until 2029

 

[Brodeur]

Stumbled on Shean Donovan on a different hockeydb rabbit hole. Had no idea he had 951 GP between 1995-2010. Not bad for a guy who only cracked 15 goals once.

Jozef Stumpel debuted in March 1992 and wrapped up in April 2008. Finished with 957 GP.

I would have bet money that Sandis Ozolinsh had 1000+. But he finished with 875 between October 1992 and April 2008.

Jim Dowd didn't become an NHL regular until he was 27. Made his first appearance in March 1993 and played through April 2008. Only had 728 games.

 

[Voight]

Patrick Eaves made his debut in the 2005-2006 season, retired in 2019.

Finished with 633 games (played 16 seasons; 12 seasons of 82 games would get you 984 games)

Thought he'd be closer to 1000.

 

[Moose Head]

Not what the OP is asking for, but Benoit Brunet played just 537 games between 1990 and 2002. It’s not as if he was an NHL/AHL tweener. He played just 38 games in the AHL during that span and not until his last year in Ottawa was he a regular healthy scratch. He missed the vast majority of those games he didn’t play because of various ailments and injuries. I’ve never seen a guy with so many types of injuries.

 

[wetcoast]

Dean McAmmond played in the NHL between 93/94 and 09/10. Long career, pretty good player but struggled a lot with injuries, including concussions at times. 996 games, 448 pts.

Good call but the first guy I thought of was Sami Salo because he was around a long time 15 NHL seasons and was a pretty decent player but was always injured.

He played 878 regular season games and 102 playoff games so 980 but that's cheating a bit.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

Rod Langway is one that always sticks out to me. 15 seasons, 994 games.

Not nine seasons, but close - Bruce Boudreau played in 8 NHL seasons (with 141 total games).

Fewest career GP by players who played x number of seasons (say, 4-12 seasons)?

* - Seasons 1917-18/2022-23

 

[Crosby2010]

Mario.

And believe it or not Peter Stastny.

 

[The Panther]

Rod Langway is one that always sticks out to me. 15 seasons, 994 games.

That's a really good one. I would certainly have assumed he'd made it to 1000 plus. (He did with playoffs, of course, but...)

 

[Fish on The Sand]

That's a really good one. I would certainly have assumed he'd made it to 1000 plus. (He did with playoffs, of course, but...)

I had the same assumption until I got wrecked on Puckdoku

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Todd Gill barely playing 1000 games over 19 seasons is surprising to me.
