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

[irunthepeg]

It would shock me most if ONE Sedin played their whole career for the Canucks but one didn't. It would shock me less if they both moved on to a different team.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

Crosby and Malkin.

 

[Retire91]

I don't see anyone as a lock, if you had asked me many years ago I would have said sundin and alfredson would never have another jersey. The fact that Gretzky was moved should show that #1 talent alone does not keep someone with one team.

If I had to name some players I would say:
Zetterberg and Daytsuk will retire wings.

Patrice Bergeron strikes me also as a player that will retire a Bruin.

 

[Bee Sheriff]

My team's young star

Sundin played for Quebec first.

 

[Terry Yake]

Elias
Doan
Zetterberg
Datsyuk
Bergeron
Sedins
Markov
Crosby
Malkin
Getzlaf
Perry

It all depends on what happens to the team. If the GM changes and there is need of an overhaul. I never thought the Canucks would trade Trevor Linden. Seeing him in a Canadians, Islanders, and Capitals jersey just looks so odd to me. But it happens. However that was before the popularity of NTC contracts.

For the Wild, Mikko Koivu, Backstrom, Scandella, Brodin, and Zucker imo have high chance of playing for one team most if all of their NHL career.

 

[kingsfan1970]

Elias
Doan
Zetterberg
Datsyuk
Bergeron
Sedins
Markov
Crosby
Malkin
Getzlaf
Perry

Nice list. Add Brown for the Kings

 

[EpicDing]

For the Rangers, almost definitely Lundqvist, hopefully Stepan and McDonagh, but I don't think that'll happen.

 

[foundhockey]

The only way I can see Ovechkin moving is if he doesn't win a cup in Washington.

 

[Coffe]

Zac Rinaldo.

Doubt any other team will give him a shot once the Flyers get tired of him.

 

[Samzilla]

Rick DiPietro

 

[Retire91]

Sundin played for Quebec first.

LOL, I did know that do'h

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

Probably Frans Nielsen.

 

[that is unfortunate]

Markov and possibly Price for the Habs

 

[JS91]

I used to think Lecavalier would be one until he turned to **** and was bought out, so I really don't dare to say Stamkos. I think that Hedman could be one though. Real top pairing #1 D-men are very hard to come by and I don't see Tampa drafting potential #1 D-men in the top 5 anytime soon. He also doesn't have any kind of "returning to home" stuff going on like someone else might have so I can't see why he would ever leave Tampa.

 

[Bps21*]

Patrick Kaleta lol

 

[alexny]

The Sedins, Datsyuk and Zetterberg.

The one player under 30 I'd put money on retiring with his current team is Patrice Bergeron.

 

[FDfranklin]

Stamkos

 

[sureWhyNot]

Datsyuk
Zetterberg
Kronwall

This times 100. Surprised it didn't pop up earlier.

After what we've seen recently with the likes of Sundin, Modano, Alfredsson and most recently Brodeur, I would be hesitant to call anyone a lock to retire with the team they are playing for. I mean, Martin Brodeur retired a player of the St. Louis Blues. Unbelievable.

 

[Dabruins]

I can only pray I get the privilege of watching Mr. Bergeron in a spoked B for every NHL game he plays. Having said that it is nearly impossible to predict what happens when a player enters his twilight years. Bruins could go full rebuild mode when Bergy hits 36 and still has a couple good years left for a playoff team and out he goes. Just the reality of running a business.

I fell into the same trap Sundin started out in Quebec LOL

Malkin
Getzlaf
Perry

Pretty solid list. That said I could see Malkin/Getzlaf/Perry maybe ending up somewhere near the end of their careers. By no means saying it's happening soon or anything, I dunno, can just see it lol.

I'm still shocked about the Marty move, none of the above players moving would really shock me.
