Who gets their name on the Stanley Cup?

[smsgtkvv]

To get their name on the Stanley Cup, a player had to appear in 41 regular-season games or one Stanley Cup Final game. A team can petition the NHL to make an exception.

Here are the players who have not played in Stanley Cup Final game but have played in 41 regular-season games or more in 2016-17 and should get their name on the cup:

Nashville
Kevin Fiala
Mike Ribeiro

Pittsburgh
Tom Kuhnhackl
Kris Letang


Here are the players who have played under 41 regular-season games in the 2016-17 season. Should any of them get an exception to have their names engraved on the Stanley Cup if their team wins the best-of-seven in this series?

Nashville
Anthony Bitetto - 29 games
Petter Granberg - 10 games
Cody Bass - 9 games
Miikka Salomaki - 5 games
Marek Mazanec (G) - 4 games
Adam Pardy - 4 games
Brad Hunt - 3 games
Alexandre Carrier - 2 games
Vladislav Kamenev - 2 games
Michael Liambas - 1 game
Trevor Smith - 1 game

Think you mistaked Johansens playoff games and regular season games. He played 82 games.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Chad Ruhwedel played 6 games during the playoffs (WSH/OTT) but he suffered a concussion in Game 4 vs Ottawa. He played some big minutes for the Pens, I think he should get it.

Yeah, this. I'd be mighty peeved if his name wasn't on in the event of a victory.

 

[deathtouchtrample]

Ruhweedle and streit should make it from the pens side. Both played some PO games and were solid enough to get us 2nd in the league regular season when the blue line was decimated with injuries. All the other guys are ahl/practice guys.

 

[hawkfan49]

In answer to your question. Less suits and more players

 

[Bumpus]

If Sestito gets left off there is no justice left in the world. I mean ...



Sorry, couldn't hold a straight face.

 

[Clare2904]

I want Chad as frankly he should be playing in this series

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Johansen qualifies because of the regular season, he'd be an obvious waiver anyway given that he's only out due to injury. Both teams would undoubtedly submit a waiver for their next defensemen up (Bitetto & Ruhwedel), given that they were fairly close and spent the bulk of the season on those respective rosters, especially with Ruhwedel playing well when called upon in the playoffs before getting hurt himself.

I'd expect Streit to be petitioned as well, but I'm not as confident about that one. The others likely don't have a shot without getting into a game.

 

[Ogrezilla]

I'd want Streit to get on purely so the Flyers partially funded a Penguin's name going on the Cup.

I just picture a bunch of Flyers fans looking like this.

Oops. I used his goals (14) instead of games played (82).

 

[Gnashville]

Predators
Riberio: should because he has played 41 games but it's easy to see why not because he's not contributing anything to this Cup finals run

Fiala: 100% yes it would be a disgrace if he was left off since it's arguably possible they don't beat Chicago without him.

Bitetto: yes he should get a waiver since he is contributing to this even though he's not playing. He was injured most of the season. I think he may play Sunday anyway either for Ellis or as a 7th Defenseman.

The Rest: not really maybe Granberg but not anyone else. Although I'd love to see Carrier play Sunday kid has got some skill.

also is there a max permissible number of names? like hypothetically, a team suffers tons and tons of injuries in the final and pulls up a bunch of AHLers who are automatically qualified to be on the cup, would the NHL eventually be like "cmon, some of these guys gotta get left off"?

I believe the max is 52 per team. The standard rule is 41 regular season games or 1 Cup Final game, but teams can petition to include other guys that they want included for whatever reasons, ie a Pascal Dupuis last year.

thanks for your response.

Interesting facts!

In bold is who the Pens would petition to have on the cup.

 

[3074326]

I agree with the others. Ruhwedel and Streit helped the Pens. The others were basically filler this season. Haven't done much lately.

Yeah, it's virtually a lock that Letang and Kuhn would be on it, but to petition for Streit and Ruhwedel would be the thing the Penguins would do for sure.

Tom Kuhnhackl and Kris Letang will be on the Cup 100% sure since they played more than 41 reg season games. You read the OP wrong:

[Shrimper]

How many can they add from the list?

 

[Pick87your71Poison]

How many can they add from the list?

It's just 52 total as the limit including coaches and staff, etc. None of those guys on the list outside of those 4 has any real chance I don't think.

 

[tony d]

I think anyone who played in the playoffs for the Cup winners + anyone who played over 40 games this season should get their name on the Cup.
