Not sure why, but it seemed like he was here longer than one season.


Sergei Zubov didn't last long as a Penguin either. 1 season before he was traded for Kevin Hatcher.

As a Pens fan I think Leclair, Luc Robitaille, and Markus Naslund are all weird images

[Shoofyou10]

Oh and Ziggy Palfy too

[ForsbergForever]

I loved Gilmour as a Hab, Sergei Berezin...somewhat less.

[saskriders]

Couldn't find great pic for this

[JetsAlternate]

Definitely Bure the Ranger.



And Kirk McLean the Ranger.



Tikkanen the Canuck.



Noonan the Canuck.



Dare I say Max Afinogenov looked better as a Thrasher than he did as a Sabre? He had a career-high goal total in his final NHL season.



Derek Morris, Boston Bruin.



Trevor Linden the Hab.



Markus Naslund the Ranger.



Thomas Gradin the Bruin.



Lindros the Ranger.



I suppose this one's starting to look weird as well.



And as much as I loved Sundin as a Canuck, I suppose he fits the bill.



Even more so, Mats the honorary Blue Jay.



And a few players who donned unfitting uniforms whilst signed to PTO contracts.

Kyle Wellwood the Coyote.



Owen Nolan as a Canuck.

[mattihp]

Esa Tikkanen the panther



Esa Tikkanen the capital



Esa Tikkanen the Blue



Esa Tikkanen the Devil! "New Jersey? No one wants to play in the swamp!"



Esa Tikkanen with Halla Anyang in South Korea! Tikkanen thought he had signed a contract to coach.. But the team thought they had signed the best ever pest

[JetsAlternate]

Dan Bylsma in anything except a suit seems odd.





Felix Potvin the Canuck.



Martin Gerber the Leaf.



And a two-in-one picture: Curtis Joseph the Calgary Flame vs Dan Cloutier the Los Angeles King.



Bryan Smolinski, Canuck.



Keith Carney the Canuck, who many people kept confusing with Todd Bertuzzi.



Sergei Fedorov, Columbus Blue Jacket.



Fedor Fedorov, any NHL sweater.

[NYR94]

Martin Gelinas as a Predator


Stephane Richer as a Blue


Pat Falloon as a Penguin


Bob Errey as a Ranger


Jeff Brown as a Capital


Raitis Ivanans as a Canadien

[cynicism]

Those are some good ones. I never realized Tikkanen was so well traveled

inspired by the bobby orr thread, here's a different take on the topic:









(i only remember this one because i played a lot of NHL96 on super nintendo)




and then some that we might remember a little better:








and a present day one that feels super-weird to me:

[mco543]

My God did Palffy really want to be Jagr or what? He had his helmet, his number and his hair.

[The Zetterberg Era]

It worked out, but Bourque with anybody but the Bruins was weird.




Also has to be the weirdest jersey retire in the NHL. I mean I like him and they won in his one year there, but that is silly that Colorado retired his jersey. So not only was it strange to watch him there but everytime I watch the Avs at home I get to scratch my head at a banner hanging up as well.

he never wanted that number, the islanders trainers gave it to him because with the hair he resembled jagr, once he became a regular he switched

[Bexlyspeed]

Bryan Trottier!

(fedorov)

(pronger-- okay, not really pronger... but that was his number on the canucks)

I want to hear the story behind this.


On topic

Derian Hatcher, the Red Wing



Ed Belfour, the Panther



Mark Recchi, the Lightning (or a team that isn't the Flyers)



Felix Potvin, the Canuck



Alex Tanguay, the Canadien and Lightning

He actually played two seasons. Traded at the 2000 deadline and the avs lost in the semis to Dallas. He was seriously considering calling it a career but the avs twisted his arm for one more year. The circumstances behind the jersey retirement is unique and like nothing else in sports that I can recall. The greatest defenseman of his era finally lifting the cup after 22 years. How could they not retire it is the real question.

[GRoberts07]

This was just pointed on the main board and he never played for them, but wow this looks weird:
