Kariya and Selanne are correct! Selanne was drafted in 1988 but did not debut until the 92/93 season after the Calgary Flames signed him to an offer sheet (that the Jets of course matched). Selanne was known for his longevity too playing all the way up to 2013/14 aged 43. Kariya began his career in 1994 and thanks to several high profile concussions saw his effectiveness drop until he retired in 2010. In 2017 he was inducted into the HHOF alongside long time teammate and friend Teemu Selanne.* *I actually witnessed this entirely by accident. My brother, a friend and I went to the HHOF while they were visiting entirely unaware it was induction weekend. We got into a long line of people inside the hall of fame thinking it was some sort of temporary exhibit or something, only to be the final people admitted to their hall of fame induction and Q&A. It was cool.

Strangely no goaltender applies. Hasek just misses the cut off as he played 5 games with the Hawks in 90/91. Belfour made his NHL debut in 1988. Brodeur did debut after Jagr and did retire before him, but was inducted in 2018 a few months after Jagr's last NHL game. Probably should've skipped that pointless year with St. Louis, eh fatso? The last two guys are defencemen ThinkTank fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Dec 22, 2020 |

Pronger and Niedermayer are the last two. Pronger debuted in 93 and retired in 2012. He was inducted in 2017, the first player to receive that honour while still under contract. Nieds was drafted the year after Jagr and appeared in 4 games in 91/92. He retired in 2009/10 aged 37 having appeared in 1259 more. He was inducted into the HHOF in 2013, a full five years before Jagr was done playing.

Since pretty much the moment our species gained sentience, NHL GMs have been obsessed with one thing only: finding and overpaying the beefiest boys out there to clog up their roster with their slow skating and stone hands. To escape the dreadful dead puck era, the league introduced a bevvy of rule changes following the 04/05 lockout designed to allow smaller, skilled players to flourish. However, there have only been 9 players who have appeared in 200 or more games since the lockout with an official weight listed below 170lbs. Can you name them? There are a couple tough names on that list so I've included their position and draft year/team below: LW - BUF - 07 C - BUF - 08 LW - NJD - 94 LW - CGY - 11 LW - CHI - 16 C - TBL - 14 D - NYI - 08 C - MIN - 02 C - BUF - 05

Gerbe is correct! Despite being the shortest player on the list he's the heaviest listed at 169lbs. He's played 426 career games. MSL and Gionta are officially listed at 180lbs and 178lbs respectively by the NHL. It's doubtful that's true, but that's what the record books say (St. Louis is 5'9 too lol).

Don't know about the height but MSL was pretty beefy in a way that I don't think like Gaudreau would be. Back when he couldn't make teams out of training camp he was supposedly coming in at 135 lbs. Ennis? Conacher?

Debrincat is also correct, he's listed at 5'7 165lbs. Tyler Ennis is also correct, he's 161lbs and the second lightest player on the list. The NHL has decreed that Conacher is 5'8 185lbs somehow. ThinkTank fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Dec 23, 2020 |

He was pretty good except for the frequent massive concussions he endured. It was pretty impressive to be a tiny man drafted top 10 in 2002.

I thought the current NHL GM was well known enough as a player, his height was in the 2000s but he's not a nobody. . The active defencemen is one of the highest paid defencemen in the league. The other active guy isn't the most well known player on earth but he's a lineup regular for one of the most popular teams in the league.

The GM probably is easier to guess than I'm giving credit for (which I'll blame on me forgetting who most of the GMs are, and him only being hired this year), but the defenseman never played for the NHL team that drafted him, and the forward played only 8 games for the team that drafted him.

The 02 Wild pick got me thinking of the Wild, but since he isn't that old, Jared Spurgeon must be the defenseman who never played for the team who drafted him. The 94 Devils pick, I think, is Steve Sullivan, and this would be the only pick with a guy old enough to have played 200 games and moved into management. I don't think he's a GM, though.

Name them. Hint: 3 are on injured reserve Bonus question: Three players from each team have played in a Stanley Cup Final for another NHL team. Name them.

Correct on both counts. Sullivan is the interim. GM of the Coyotes. As no one is likely to get it, the last guy is Paul Byron who is the lightest player in modern history at 158lbs.

I didn't realize Sullivan was the interim GM this summer, but the Coyotes actually hired a permanent GM, Bill "not related to Doug" Armstrong, a few months ago.

Kane, Toews, Seabrook, and Keith are correct for the Hawks. There's one more. Saad plays for the Avalanche, Crawford for the Devils, and Hossa retired in 2017 and was inducted into the Hall of Fame this year. Stamkos, Hedman, Killorn, Kucherov, Palat, and Johnson are correct for the Lightning. There's three more. Gourde didn't debut until the next season. To clarify the bonus question, it's players on the opening night roster for the Lightning and Blackhawks this coming season.
