players that have bounced around...

[HeavyD]

The brother thread got me thinking when someone said Sean Pronger was formerly a duck, I knew he had been on quite a few teams, but didn't realize he had spent less than 10 years on eight different NHL teams. Who else has played for that many or more diff. teams? A couple that come to mind are first round draft pick by the Canucks in 82 Michel Petit who I beleived played for 10 teams over 16/17 years? and maybe Kevin Miller who last played for the wings in 03/04, with about 9 different teams altogether. Anyone know the record?

In the old days Gary Smith moved around so much they called him Gary "suitcase" Smith.

I'm not going to remember the numbers correctly, but Arnason was known at one time for being the only guy who played for something like 8 teams in 9 NHL seasons. Incredible.

Gary Smith was once traded for an injured goalie (Gerry Desjardins, Chicago). Oakland asked the league to reverse the trade, but Chicago ended up sending Gilles Meloche and someone else (probably Gerry Pinder or Paul Shmyr).
