Most games played by a player in regular season?

[Star Ocean]

If you get traded and come to a team that has played less games you can possibly play 85, 86 games in a season.

Correct, that's true.

Are you asking for a single league, or in an entire season across multiple leagues?

It's too bad time on ice wasn't collected as much back then, I'm curious to know if most games means most minutes played in a season. While Carson and Kudelski (86 games each), Glenn Anderson (85) went on the Rangers Cup run that year ('93-94), playing 23 playoff games, too. 108 games total, not sure if that's some kind of record.

Some goalkeepers played a full schedule back when the season was 70 games or fewer (Glenn Hall did it for almost eight consecutive years). That's 4,200 minutes, less the times pulled for a sixth attacker. A defenseman or forward would have to average over 51 minutes per game for 82 games to top those figures.

Bob Kudelski did it with Florida/Ottawa and scored 40 goals, 93-94

Have to say I liked the old 84 game regular season and think they should go back to it. Every team would play two more games and maybe one of those games could be a neutral site location in the U.S. that doesn't have a team

Yeah, I remember the 84 game season. Could work with 32 teams using this model;

6 games vs. 7 division rivals- 42
3 games vs. 8 conferece rivals-24
1 game vs. 16 other conference rivals-16
2 games vs. designated team-2
