David Legwand
David Legwand is a retired American forward who played 16 seasons in the NHL. Drafted 2nd overall in the 1998 NHL Draft by the Nashville Predators, he was the first player ever drafted by the team. Legwand spent the majority of his career with the Predators, setting several franchise records and appearing in 956 games.
Legwand’s career saw him move to other teams towards its end.
In 2014, he was traded to the Detroit Red Wings, concluding his 15-year tenure with Nashville. He then signed a two-year contract with the Ottawa Senators in 2014, contributing to their playoff run. In 2015, Legwand was traded to the Buffalo Sabres, where he played until announcing his retirement from professional hockey in 2016.
Mike Sillinger
Mike Sillinger is a player known for his journeyman career in the NHL. Over the course of his tenure in the league, Sillinger earned the unique distinction of playing for a record 12 different NHL teams, the most by any player in league history. This constant movement earned him the nickname of the “NHL’s most traded player.”
Sillinger started his NHL career after being drafted 11th overall by the Detroit Red Wings in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft. While he showcased skill and versatility as a center, he frequently found himself on the move, transitioning between teams either through trades or free agency.
Despite the frequent relocations, Sillinger was consistently productive wherever he played. Over his 1,049 NHL games, he accumulated 548 points, proving his value as a reliable two-way forward.
