[NeverForget06]

A timely example would be Ference lol (2013-2016).

Other ones I've got:
Derek Roy -11-11-22 in 46gp in the 14-15 season after we got him from Nashville. Last he played in the league, is in Europe now.

Mark Fayne? I think he's still toiling in the minors somewhere

Darcy Horidchuk

Khabibulin somewhat. Was 36 when he signed

 

[Cloned]

Bryzgalov.

 

[LTIR]

Didnt really play a game but Mike Richter

 

[Arpeggio]

Nedved. Who if you look at his hockeydb, put up some crazy numbers as a 40 year old in the Czech league. He put up 150 PIM in 50 games during one of his last years, while being ppg.

 

[Marty McSurly]

Bill Ranford

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

Jussi Jokinen has to be on the list. He went a couple other places afterwards last year but he was clearly done.

[lakai17]

The one and only Adam Oates

 

[Jumptheshark]

The one and only Adam Oates

actually if you listen to interviews from Horcoff and Stoll both said they learned a lot about face off wins during to his time on the oilers

fun fact: via a few trades of draft picks we have Stuart Skinner to show for the horcoff trade

 

[Tyrolean]

Bill Goldsworthy.

 

[JayE]

Boyd Gordon.

 

[Bangers]

Didnt really play a game but Mike Richter

If you're going to include him, then you can include Brian Leetch too.

 

[The Panther]

What was the Richter/Leetch thing?

 

[ZJuice]

Was Smyth washed up when he came back?

 

[Bangers]

What was the Richter/Leetch thing?

Paper transactions.

The Rangers traded each to the Oilers (Leetch for Corey Power Potter Play and Richter for Markkanen + a pick), so that when they signed with another team in UFA, the Oil received compensatory picks (due to salaries & FA, the Rangers were ineligible for these picks).
