There were a lot of players to chose from this time so I had to leave a few good ones off. I think all the original six teams are gonna have some good posts for this series.
At this point it’s a shorter list of who hasn’t kunitz played for
Bobby Orr in a jersey other than a Bruins one is already going to be the most inexplicable of all.
Bruce Boudreau with hair is wild
Pains me not seeing Turco in a Dallas uniform
Hasek backing up Belfour might have been one of the most talented goalie tandems ever. Of course, Hasek didn’t become a superstar until he was in Buffalo.
They also faced each other in the SCF 7 years later.
I’ll never forget Richards playing for Chicago
Wow, Bruce Cassidy played his entire career in Chicago and played only 36 games over an eight year span.
Antoine Vermette (19GP Reg. Season, 20GP Playoffs)
For some reason Marty Turco makes perfect sense to me because Eddie Belfour went from the Hawks to the Stars, so of course Turco went from the Stars to the Hawks. I don’t know why, but in my head it’s a perfectly natural swap.
Bobby’s knees were held up by hopes and dreams at this point.
I wonder if modern medicine would’ve been able to save his career?
That pic does not do Theo Fleury any justice lmao. It looks like they pulled a random person off the street and gave him an old helmet from the warehouse with an oversized jersey.
Fleury with a black eye, couldn’t happen to a nicer guy
Dan Cleary is behind Paul Coffey in the 4th picture.
Even though he was there for 3 seasons I feel like Ted Lindsay should have been on this list too
My first game was seeing Orr play with Chicago in 1976.
Wendel was a hawk? lol had no idea.
Bondra was a bit of a shock for me. Makes sense as there was a few years there where I didn’t watch any NHL games.
Orr just looks wrong, but I knew about it. Forgot about Coffey stopping in Chicago. Seems it was a destination for veterans looking for another season of hockey for a while there. Looks like it will be again for a bit too.
I remember McCabe being TRADED to the Hawks for our Sedin pick, but I don’t remember him actually playing there (While wearing the most atrocious gloves ever made by Bauer).
I would add Tyler Johnson to that list too
These are fun. I didn’t know Kunitz and Bondra got around as much as they did.
Brad Richards and Kimmo I remember because of that 2015 Cup winning team. I also bought a Richards shirt before that season started
That Dan Cleary hockey card design makes it look like he is hip-checking himself.

For some free of bias honourable mentions, might I suggest Dale Weise (15 games, 2015-16) and Phillip Danault (32 games, 2014-16)?

I would also throw in [Cam Ward](https://pics.forecaster.ca/nhl-action/2838.jpg) for this edition. 33GP with the Blackhawks in his final season. 2018/2019.

Howie Morenz is a good one, thought he only ever played for the Habs.
Richards on the Blackhawks isn’t unusual to me. His no-look dish to Kane in game 6 and the ensuing goal and celebration are seared into my brain.
