This is Part 2 of our series on NHL players looking somewhat odd in certain jerseys. Part I is available here.
In today’s NHL, it’s extremely rare for one player to spend his entire career with one team. Trades, free agency, and the salary cap force players to move around to make the most money, or get the best chance to win a Stanley Cup.
In many cases, NHL legends spend the majority of their career in one city with stops in other places as their career is just beginning, or winding down. Below we take a look at 25 more of those players who are legends in one city, but are never remembered for their stints for other teams. Seeing them in other NHL jerseys just doesn’t look right.
Honorable Mention (couldn’t find a photo)
Billy Smith, LA Kings (1971-72, 5 games)
Jacques Plante, Edmonton Oilers (1974-75, 31 games)
Between Part I’s 25 and these 27, are there any additional NHL stars don’t look right in other NHL jerseys?
Gotta love that Belfour Hawks/Sharks combo. How exactly was Owen Nolan an alternate captain with the Canucks, when he only played three games there?
