"Wanna go, Prettyboy?"
Starting in the 1990-91 season, Ron Hextall was the starting goaltender for three different teams in a three year span.
He played the 1991-92 season with his original club, the Philadelphia Flyers and was their starting goaltender with 45 games. He was then dealt to the Quebec Nordiques in the Eric Lindros trade and started 54 games for them.
With the 1992 Expansion draft looming, and the Nordiques opting to protect Stephane Fiset, Quebec shipped Hextall to Long Island in a swap for Mark Fitzpatrick and the flipping of first round draft picks that landed Todd Bertuzzi with the Islanders and Adam Deadmarsh with the soon-to-be Colorado Avalanche.
It's pretty unique to be the starting goaltender for three teams in three consecutive years. Any other examples of this that anyone can think of?
