What Player(s) Will Retire playing for only one team?

[Trap Jesus]

Duchene is an off-the-wall pick. Not only is he way too young to consider right now, but he's already had a couple down years, and has Mackinnon breathing down his neck. That's a lot of money to lock into your top 2 centers if they achieve their potential.

 

[mattcookefan]

If he doesn't get a cup sure. But he seems way to loyal to move on if he does in fact win before that.

Yeah but it's more than likely that he won't unless Washington makes big changes

 

[That Habs Fan]

Markov and Price from the Habs.

Hopefully Galchenyuk as well.

Duchene has already taken a pay cut for Colorado. Pittsburgh seemed just fine paying Crosby and malkin so I don't see the issue

 

[FRUSTRATEDPENFAN*]

There are others, but off the top of my head:

Crosby
Toews
Kane
Ovechkin
Price

No idea or thoughts on the others but I could see Crosby leaving and playing somewhere else in a few years if Pittsburgh aren't able to win again in the near future

Come to Montréal, Sidney, c'mon!

 

[Mighty Chin]

Looks like Elias will be a lifelong Devil.

Well I wasn't going to name every player.

You're right

 

[mattcookefan]

Come to Montréal, Sidney, c'mon!

That would be so cool to see him in a habs Jersey

 

[Bee Sheriff]

Kopitar and Doughty have already achieved all that they could dream of with LA, don't see why they'd leave besides money which Dean will throw at them anyways.

 

[FRUSTRATEDPENFAN*]

Come to Montréal, Sidney, c'mon!

Montreal could be a place he would like to play but given he has that 12 year contract doubtful it would happen. Most likely some team in the Western Conference I would think just so Pittsburgh could avoid him coming back to haunt them in the play offs

 

[FRUSTRATEDPENFAN*]

But I agree Crosby playing for montreal would be awesome

 

[Hivemind]

Yeah but it's more than likely that he won't unless Washington makes big changes

Big changes like firing the GM, bringing in Barry Trotz, and adding two veteran defensemen?

 

[HS]

The Mule

 

[The Kingslayer]

Cody Mcleod

 

[Teppo]

Suter + Parise. I could see Koivu accepting a trade to a contender if the Wild are not near the playoffs in the next season or 2.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Koivu might, because I'm not sure what the market would be for him when he's 35.

Both are on their 2nd team at the moment...

 

[Extra Texture]

Giroux isn't going anywhere.

Of all the teams in the league with franchise players, the Flyers would be one of the least gunshy about trading them. It happened only 3 years ago.

I laughed

 

[Phil Parent]

You have to look at players in their mid-late 30's who have already played their whole career with one team and are on a team that is on the upswing.

Markov is a good one.

If a player is on the downswing, maybe the team or the player will want to part ways so...

 

[TurdFerguson]

Keith probably, his contract is a very long one.

 

[DFC]

I don't think anyone under 30 is a lock to stay with one team at point in history. You never know when a team will have cap issues or when a player will just fall out of favor or have a steep decline. No one foresaw the MSL situation in TBL. How about Marty Brodeur?

The closest things to locks, IMO, are Doan, Elias, the Sedins, and Datsyuk/Zetterberg. In Datsyuk and Zetterberg's case, the team they play for has to be taken into consideration. Detroit has pretty immense loyalty to its franchise players, and two of them recently played an entire career there. NJ will probably keep Elias for as long as Elias wants as well.

 

[Brainiac]

Markov and Price from the Habs.

Hopefully Galchenyuk as well.

ehhhh... Subban?

 

[Micklebot]

Chris Neil and Chris Phillips both are pretty much in charge of their fates. Ottawa will let them ride out their contracts, or if asked to, trade them for one last shot at the cup.
