Ken Sutton

1. Edmonton Oilers
2. Calgary Canucks from the AJHL
3. Claimed off waivers by New Jersey Devils from Washington Capitals
4. Traded for Pearson in 1995 and for Persson in 1996
5. Both won Eddie Shore award in the AHL

I would have never found it without the clue you gave in your last post

Wow....

I looked at the Eddie Shore Award and somehow completely skipped over the only player to play for the Devils organization, but I did click on Weinrich

 

[Better Call Sal]

I fell for the Canucks one and looked up Devils that also played for the Canucks.

Who Am I?

1. I retired a little over 13 months ago.
2. I made it to one Stanley Cup final, although I did not win the Cup.
3. My last four years I served as an assistant captain, well actually 7 with a short break.
4. I've won a gold and two silvers, each medal at different events.
5. All of the trades I was involved in saw a player who would play for the Devils go the other way.
6. Last year, I played with a player that shares the last name with a former Devils draft pick.

Additions:

7. Devils were my last NHL team.
8. I was on the ice for a goal that many Devils fans want to forget, well this one wasn't as bad as the one that would happen later.

Niclas Havelid. If anyone else wants to do the individual answers go for it. There was no way I was getting that without clue number 8.

It was hard.

But some of these require more of a combination.

The retirement 13 months ago should trigger older players, one SCF should basically make you think he wasn't on the Devils in their glory years or had a brief stint with them. Assistant captain should make you able to limit the choices. Gold and two silvers show that he was probably on a good international team. The trade clue doesn't really help much but it is easy to look up.

1. I was claimed in an expansion draft but never played for the claiming team.
2. My last season with NJ was my most successful one, thanks in part to an injury of a diminutive player.
3. In my last playing season I was teammates with a player who was drafted four picks ahead of me and another player drafted nine picks ahead of me.
4. I coached junior hockey after my retirement.

I'm always a bad gauge of if the hints are fair, so I'll leave it at that for now.

Found it out unsure about number four..and wikipedia answered that.

Turner Stevenson? The expansion draft clue tipped it for me.

1. Columbus claimed him, but then he was traded to us.
2. Career high in goals with 14, tied career high in points with 27. Not sure who got injured though.
3. Derian Hatcher (4) and Keith Primeau (9).
4. Assistant with the Seattle Thunderbirds.

 

[Feed Me A Stray Cat]

Yup, Stevenson.

The EGG line formed sometime in mid 03-04 if I remember correctly, but Gionta got hurt and Stevenson ended up replacing him on the top line even after Gionta came back.

Hosa has a few answers, but I know it's not him. Stuck on that one.

Got this off a Devils site.
Of the Devils' goalies who faced more than one penalty shot, who was the only one that did not allow a goal?

Alain Chevrier
Chris Terreri
Glenn Resch
Ron Low

Who Am I?

I'm a Jackie Robinson of sorts.

Some say I started a trend/fetish that a GM has.

I've played on eight teams, but my longest run was as a Devil.

I do have "Jersey ties" of sorts and have lived on both sides of the states mason dixon line.

I have gone home.

I have two cups and won in different decades.

Well done.

Jackie Robinson-- First "latin american" player in the NHL.

GM Fetish- Lou's drafting and coveting BC players.

I didnt know Jackie Robinson was latino? but my first guess was Slava Fetisov because he broke the "Russian" player barrier and many GM's followed Lou by drafting players from Russia...but Slava didnt play for 8 teams !

Nice brain test today, my head still hurts from all the thinking !!!!

Jackie Robinson in the sense that he's the first Latino player in the NHL.

This is Ken Klee isn't it?

Ducks and Devils were his shortest stints. He went to Bowling Green, where a couple Miracle on Ice guys played (Morrow and Wells).
