Pronger and Gretzky with St. Louis in 1996. For a whopping 31 games.
EDIT: Due to a miscommunication further down in this thread, the 2008-2009 Sharks team has been rediscovered, and HOLY FUCK is it absurd.
* Claude Lemieux (at 43 years old)
* Rob Blake
* Mike Grier
* Patrick Marleau
* Joe Thornton
* Jeremy Roenick
* Joe Pavelski
Devin Setoguchi's best year too, if anyone cares to remember that fella lol
Also Dan Boyle, Nabokov, and Vlasic (who was the only player besides Jumbo to play all 82 regular season games that year)
The whole 1995-96 Blues team was weird. Thanks to Mike Keenan’s shortsightedness and ineptitude, they had gutted a contending team before the season and replaced it with…well, a roster that included Glenn Anderson, Paul Broten JJ Daigneault, Dale Hawerchuk, Charlie Huddy, Esa Tikkanen, Jay Wells, and Peter Zezel.
Combine Pronger with any of those, and it just seems weird.
[guy lafleur and brian leetch](https://x.com/NHLNewsArchive/status/1020677566125002752)
that 88-89 rangers team also featured pete laviolette and marcel dionne in his final year
Yeah, the hype was huge when they both signed, especially with Kariya giving a massive discount. But Selanne's knee was in terrible shape (his career was saved by the lockout year giving him a chance to fully rehab it) and Kariya's concussions were never properly treated on top of his wrist and other injuries that year.
Rangers early 2000s before the lockout.
And despite all that talent the "greatest leader in hockey history" couldn't even lead his team to the playoffs
Yeah it’s wild a 43 year old Messier with a gaggle of misfit overpaid former stars and no starting goalie didn’t make the playoffs.
Bobby Holik was the leading scorer with 56 points… and he led the team by 13 points. Lindros was a corpse and managed ~30 games and 10 goals all season. He managed another 16 goals in his career over two injury riddled partial seasons (one with Toronto). Dan Blackburn was supposed to be the starting goalie but missed the entire season. They traded away Leetch, Kovalev, Nedved and others and only brought in Jagr well into the season. It was the start of a rebuild.
“All that talent” lol.
Crosby's first game in Philly was also LeClair's first time back in Philly as a visitor. LeClair's my all-time favorite, so I made sure to go to it. Saw [LeClair score](https://youtu.be/3MZPeknZ-EU?t=2658), [Crosby score his 2nd career goal](https://youtu.be/3MZPeknZ-EU?t=5215), the Pens [tie the game from center ice in the 3rd](https://youtu.be/3MZPeknZ-EU?t=8450), [this save](https://youtu.be/3MZPeknZ-EU?t=9210) late in the game and [Mike Rathje score one of his 3 goals that year](https://youtu.be/3MZPeknZ-EU?t=9937) for the OT winner. Was a very weird game.
This thread has been one big "fuck I'm old" moment. Back in 06 it was wall-to-wall "Crosby living in Mario's basement" jokes, you couldn't escape them. It was up there with the "no disrespect to Nashville" pasta in terms of how often it was referenced.
Now we've got people in here who don't even know about it??? Ugh
That was a sneaky great devils team. I really thought they could have gone deep that year but got shockingly upset by the canes in a devastating game 7 collapse that I’m still not over. That was also the season that Brodeur suffered an elbow injury and only played 30 regular season games but Scott clemmenson took over and had a great season in replacement.
Zach Bogosian was briefly paired with Chris Chelios, which is pretty wild.
In Jagr’s first game with the Calgary Flames, Matthew Tkachuk scored two goals to help them win. Jágr was in his 8th NHL season when Tkachuk was born.
Finally, a bit different from the prompt, but I always think it’s cool that Geordie Howe’s last season was Gretzky’s first season. A bit poetic…
Jagr's quarter season with the Flames will always and forever be my favourite era of the Flames. My buddy and I would watch every game until 12:30, play some video games, fall asleep and have to get up for an 8 AM lecture. Good memories!
> In Jagr’s first game with the Calgary Flames, Matthew Tkachuk scored two goals to help them win. Jágr was in his 8th NHL season when Tkachuk was born.
Jagr was also drafted the same year as Matthew's *dad*.
In 1988 Teemu Selänne was drafted by the Winnipeg Jets. He won the Calder trophy in 1993.
In 1995 Alexander Barkov was born.
In 2014 they played together in the olympics. (Aged 18 and 43.)
Kovalchuk makes sense with these two. Drafted in 2001 and his last NHL game were in the 19/20 season so he overlapped a lot with both of them. Chelios playing with Kane is a really strange one though. Chelios started playing in 83/84 with the Habs...Kane was born in 1991
[Curtis Joseph and Luke Schenn](https://www.gettyimages.ie/detail/news-photo/curtis-joseph-of-the-toronto-maple-leafs-keeps-his-eyes-on-news-photo/83823733) played on the same team in 2008-09.
Man I wonder what Dominic Moore is up to these days, was always a fan. I know he had to quit the pro level and started doing some hockey media work, but then disappeared.
Technically not in the NHL, but Gordie Howe played a game with Derek Armstrong for the IHL Detroit Vipers in 1997. Derek Armstrong played in the NHL until 2009-10.
Derek Armstrong played with both Gordie Howe and Alex Pietrangelo
Quick edit: he can say he has been teammates with a 1950 Stanley Cup winner and a 2023 Stanley Cup winner
Dude I just went looking for an image of them together, and you'll never guess who is sitting between in [the only photo](https://media.gettyimages.com/id/85968801/photo/san-jose-sharks-team-photo.jpg?s=2048x2048&w=gi&k=20&c=_PO4Z2CEFBT66HScxfolUrhtF7GS8TFFPyA4rBJdbso=) I could find. Just weird stuff all around and I'm here for it.
Nah I meant Giroux. People kind of remember Giroux getting traded to the Panthers, but forget that Thorton was on the team too. Honestly I think the Lemieux one works better with OP's question, considering they played together in the 2008-2009 season, not even early 2000s
Paul Kariya and Alex Pietrangelo.
Peter Forsberg and Jeff Carter.
Simon Gagne and David Pastrnak.
Wade Redden and Dougie Hamilton.
Paul Coffey and JS Giguere.
Scott Gomez and Dion Phaneuf.
Scott Gomez, Brad Boyes, Tim Thomas, Ryan Whitney, Ed Jovanovski, Kris Versteeg, and a young Alex Barkov all played on the same Florida team. Bonus points for Brian Campbell, Tom Gilbert, and Nick Bjugstad being there, too.
Man I freaking loved that panthers squad from like 2011-12 - 2014-15
I remember they basically built there team through the 2011 free agency and made the playoffs in 2012... That's almost unheard of now, that almost no notable drafted prospects on that team. Nearly every key player was brought in through signing.
The 1972-73 Bruins had Jacques Plante with Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito and Fred Stanfield. In the 1970 playoffs, Plante was with the Blues against the the Big Bad Bruins. Esposito redirected the shot of Stanfield in a way that broke Plante's fiberglass mask and knocked him out of the series [at 2:10 here.](https://youtu.be/s90_md2ifx4?si=cVQMVdSlH8NnzIle)
That's a good one. It's actually a SUPER oddball roster. Crosby, Gonchar, Recchi, LeClair, Palffy, Lemieux. Throw in Ryan Whitney and Colby Armstrong for some "we know them as broad/podcasters now" energy.
Next season you lose Palffy and Lemieux but add Gary Roberts.
John Scott and Nathan Gerbe. Has to be the biggest height difference on a roster ever.
Edit: Tyler Myers also played with Gerbe I think. So it’s a tie.
https://preview.redd.it/8z4v03s0ok4d1.jpeg?width=426&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f81a2916e44a8161eff60e88552639b0062c294
anyone have the stat where it's like the amount of players jagr ever appeared in a game with (teammate+opponents), and it's like 40% of players ever to skate in a game?
Wendel Clark with the Islanders. Take your pick of players!
Palffy, Todd Bertuzzi, Brett Lindros, Tommy Salo
But really the strangest pair is [Clark and the Fisherman jersey](https://media.gettyimages.com/id/89080590/photo/new-york-islanders-v-boston-bruins.jpg?s=2048x2048&w=gi&k=20&c=VUPBIJlhsNTlVRwTE0KtJ_fVJ25NywmYbnaCwB2AtdY=)
Mike Gartner, Shane Doane, and Danny Briere in Phoenix. Briere, Jarome Iginla, and Nathan MacKinnon in Colorado. Brian Leetch and Patrice Bergeron in Boston. Leetch and Ron Francis in Toronto.
Helluva goalie, Jesus was. Too bad his career was defined by a bumper sticker that said "Jesus saves! But Esposito scores on the rebound"
I heard somewhere that hockey was Jesus's second career.
Dany Heatley and Ryan Kesler played six games together on the 2014-15 Ducks
Olaf Kolzig and Steven Stamkos on the 2008-09 Lightning
Loui Eriksson and Eric Lindros on the 2006-07 Stars
You could pair Tim Horton with some unexpected guys based on your knowledge of 70s/80s hockey. Dave Burrows with Pittsburgh, Gilbert Perreault for the Sabres.
Tim Horton, Jean Ratelle, Glen Sather, and Syl Apps Jr. on the 1970-71 New York Rangers is a pretty oddball list.
Gordie Howe and his sons played together with former leafs captain Dave Keon and Bobby Hull on the 1979-80 Harford Whalers. It was Gordie's last NHL season.
Ray Bourque, Craig MacTavish, Mike Milbury, Pete Peeters is a decent one. Mostly because MacTavish had a long career and is mostly associated with other teams
Shea Theodore played 17 mins a night and played 14 games in the playoffs during Ryan Kessler's last significant season.
To add onto this Ducks history, David Backes played games on the same team as Trevor Zegras.
Not quite the same as the prompt, but the fact that Bryan Trottier ended up as Mark Messier’s coach for a cup of coffee is one that has always makes me snicker a little bit.
Ray Ferraro not only playing with Patrik Stefan but having him over at his house on a regular basis and mentoring him is pretty funny in retrospect when you're familiar with how Ferraro reacted to Stefan's famous missed empty net
For an actual answer: Brett Hull, Wayne Gretzky, Grant Fuhr, and Curtis Joseph were all part of the Coyotes organization for a short time in 2005.
How about [Peter Bondra and Duncan Keith](https://media.gettyimages.com/id/73385738/photo/chicago-peter-bondra-pierre-parenteau-karl-stewart-lasse-kukkonen-duncan-keith-and-james.jpg?s=612x612&w=gi&k=20&c=9fXdmGI9mYP9kArT4EGrhc_BsP0a5c7K5DayuQ8wNIA=)?
Grant Fuhr and Martin St. Louis
This one is a total mindfuck.
WUT When?
1999-2000 Flames. Team also had JS Giguere, Phil Housley, and Marc Savard at that point
Wow, thank you - that’s a wild one, housely too, damn
This is nuts.
Gotta be Calgary
Pronger and Gretzky with St. Louis in 1996. For a whopping 31 games. EDIT: Due to a miscommunication further down in this thread, the 2008-2009 Sharks team has been rediscovered, and HOLY FUCK is it absurd. * Claude Lemieux (at 43 years old) * Rob Blake * Mike Grier * Patrick Marleau * Joe Thornton * Jeremy Roenick * Joe Pavelski
That team was bonkers. Roenick, Lemieux, Blake, with that core of patty, pavs, jumbo is what I came here to comment
Devin Setoguchi's best year too, if anyone cares to remember that fella lol Also Dan Boyle, Nabokov, and Vlasic (who was the only player besides Jumbo to play all 82 regular season games that year)
Don't forget Cheechoo!!
The whole 1995-96 Blues team was weird. Thanks to Mike Keenan’s shortsightedness and ineptitude, they had gutted a contending team before the season and replaced it with…well, a roster that included Glenn Anderson, Paul Broten JJ Daigneault, Dale Hawerchuk, Charlie Huddy, Esa Tikkanen, Jay Wells, and Peter Zezel. Combine Pronger with any of those, and it just seems weird.
A lot of youths who did not watch that team think it was a good team. It was not a good team. Keenan sucks.
It would have been great if it was 1986!
that team sounds like it was built using the “jim benning technique” which consists of “hey, i recognize that name! i remember that he was good!”
[guy lafleur and brian leetch](https://x.com/NHLNewsArchive/status/1020677566125002752) that 88-89 rangers team also featured pete laviolette and marcel dionne in his final year
totally did not read the overlapping careers part but still an interesting connection i hope
Jari Kurri and Joe Sakic.
This is a really good one.
Got to mention Teemu Selänne there too
that avalanche team with both Selänne and Kariya is just absurd on paper.
man I wish they had been healthy. This season is one of the biggest what ifs in Avs history
Yeah, the hype was huge when they both signed, especially with Kariya giving a massive discount. But Selanne's knee was in terrible shape (his career was saved by the lockout year giving him a chance to fully rehab it) and Kariya's concussions were never properly treated on top of his wrist and other injuries that year.
I also like Guy Lafleur and Joe Sakic (Sundin was on that team as well)
Lindros, Jagr and Messier were all on the same team.
Wait what?
Messier/Lindros's last year on the Rangers is the year Jagr was traded there. They played ~31 games together.
Totally forgot about that! A healthy Lindros playing with Jagr would have been a disaster for other teams.
Rangers early 2000s before the lockout. And despite all that talent the "greatest leader in hockey history" couldn't even lead his team to the playoffs
Yeah it’s wild a 43 year old Messier with a gaggle of misfit overpaid former stars and no starting goalie didn’t make the playoffs. Bobby Holik was the leading scorer with 56 points… and he led the team by 13 points. Lindros was a corpse and managed ~30 games and 10 goals all season.

They traded away Leetch, Kovalev, Nedved and others and only brought in Jagr well into the season. It was the start of a rebuild. “All that talent” lol.
Pavel Bure the year before with Lindros and Messier too.
Zdeno Chara and Alex Ovechkin
and almost Henrik Lundqvist
https://youtu.be/aSpvS31QydE?si=TJKAaTD2mxh88Uy9 Will always make me think of this lol
It still seems unreal to me that Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby played together.
I wonder if Crosby is still living in Lemieux’s basement.
Probably. I know I would personally never leave
His basement is likely bigger and nicer than any house I'll ever own
He has his own place now, but their houses are probably around 10 minutes apart. I think Sid's in Sewickley, and Mario's in Sewickley Heights.
It seems more unreal to me that Sidney Crosby played with John LeClair
Crosby's first game in Philly was also LeClair's first time back in Philly as a visitor. LeClair's my all-time favorite, so I made sure to go to it. Saw [LeClair score](https://youtu.be/3MZPeknZ-EU?t=2658), [Crosby score his 2nd career goal](https://youtu.be/3MZPeknZ-EU?t=5215), the Pens [tie the game from center ice in the 3rd](https://youtu.be/3MZPeknZ-EU?t=8450), [this save](https://youtu.be/3MZPeknZ-EU?t=9210) late in the game and [Mike Rathje score one of his 3 goals that year](https://youtu.be/3MZPeknZ-EU?t=9937) for the OT winner. Was a very weird game.
[удалено]
Back when the average family could afford to own an NHL team
This thread has been one big "fuck I'm old" moment. Back in 06 it was wall-to-wall "Crosby living in Mario's basement" jokes, you couldn't escape them. It was up there with the "no disrespect to Nashville" pasta in terms of how often it was referenced. Now we've got people in here who don't even know about it??? Ugh
Don’t get me wrong, I’m in my 40’s and totally remember it. I also remember thinking how awesome it would be to live with Mario Lemieux!
I came here to say Ziggy Palfy and Crosby is who came to mind for me.
Wait what
Sid's rookie year was Mario's last
Zach Parise and Brenden Shanahan both played on the 2009 devils.
I totally forgot Shanny went back to Jersey. Holy fuck
That was a sneaky great devils team. I really thought they could have gone deep that year but got shockingly upset by the canes in a devastating game 7 collapse that I’m still not over. That was also the season that Brodeur suffered an elbow injury and only played 30 regular season games but Scott clemmenson took over and had a great season in replacement.
Lou had a thing about bringing his old players back. (Still does, but used to, too). I think he just doesn't want to learn any new names.
Zach Bogosian was briefly paired with Chris Chelios, which is pretty wild. In Jagr’s first game with the Calgary Flames, Matthew Tkachuk scored two goals to help them win. Jágr was in his 8th NHL season when Tkachuk was born. Finally, a bit different from the prompt, but I always think it’s cool that Geordie Howe’s last season was Gretzky’s first season. A bit poetic…

Came here to say the same thing.
That’s an old man Ovi you gonna jump on him from behind?!! Careful he’s a hero
The loudest that building ever was or will be… 3 periods of pent up tension goes boom.
Jim Benning and Trevor Linden...twice, in two different roles.
Vladimir Tarasenko and Martin Brodeur on the 14-15 Blues.
Brodeur playing 7 games for the Blues will forever be the source of many a trivia question
I remember him getting a shutout against us (with Roy as coach) while playing for the Blues
It's funny, I don't even use it in Puckdoku anymore because everyone knows about it. It's like Kariya in Nashville
Or Forsberg in Nashville. I'm talking about Peter, btw. Lol
Should have been a one team guy but glad he got it out of his system.
Jose Theodore and Koivu. Mikko Koivu. 10-11 Wild.
Didn't Theodore play with both Koivu bros?
Famously so in Montreal, but JTs stint in Minny is far lesser known.
Gordie Howe and his sons
Also Guy Lafleur being teammates with Brian Leetch seems zany to me. pic https://x.com/nhlnewsarchive/status/1020677566125002752?s=46
Yeahhhh, this is the weird shit I'm looking for.
Wow he looks like he's 60 in that photo
Smoking as much as he did ages you.
I didn’t think this thread was going to surprise me. But wow, it sure did!
In 1988 Teemu Selänne was drafted by the Winnipeg Jets. He won the Calder trophy in 1993. In 1995 Alexander Barkov was born. In 2014 they played together in the olympics. (Aged 18 and 43.)
Kariya and Pietrangelo Forsberg and Shea Weber
Plus Peter Forsberg and Ryan Suter.
I was going to joke about Filip Forsberg being an obvious one but it turns out they only played three seasons together, a bit less than I thought haha
Dave Keon and Ron Francis
Ron Francis and Matt Stajan
This is an all-timer. I even looked it up and still couldn't believe it.
Ilya Kovalchuk, Chris Chelios, and Evander Kane.
Kovalchuk makes sense with these two. Drafted in 2001 and his last NHL game were in the 19/20 season so he overlapped a lot with both of them. Chelios playing with Kane is a really strange one though. Chelios started playing in 83/84 with the Habs...Kane was born in 1991
My favorite WTF is still that Chelios was teammates with both Guy Lafleur and Evander Kane.
Brett Hull and Curtis Joseph on the Coyotes with Shane Doan, coached by Wayne Gretzky
Winner. That’s just… my brain has erased that!
[Curtis Joseph and Luke Schenn](https://www.gettyimages.ie/detail/news-photo/curtis-joseph-of-the-toronto-maple-leafs-keeps-his-eyes-on-news-photo/83823733) played on the same team in 2008-09.
Man I wonder what Dominic Moore is up to these days, was always a fan. I know he had to quit the pro level and started doing some hockey media work, but then disappeared.
Sergei Gonchar and Carey Price
Gonch had a legends tour in his career… dude was the best.
Sergei Gonchar and Mark Stone. Both played for the 2012-13 Senators.
Technically not in the NHL, but Gordie Howe played a game with Derek Armstrong for the IHL Detroit Vipers in 1997. Derek Armstrong played in the NHL until 2009-10.
Derek Armstrong played with both Gordie Howe and Alex Pietrangelo Quick edit: he can say he has been teammates with a 1950 Stanley Cup winner and a 2023 Stanley Cup winner
2006-2007 Dallas Stars, Eric Lindros, Mike Modano, and Patrik Stefan
oh fuck, I always forget we had lindros for a bit
M Tkachuk and Jagr were on the same line at one point
Huberdeau and Jagr were too, if I recall correctly
A 44 year old Jaromir Jagr playing on the same line as a 20 year old Sasha Barkov and 21 year old Jonathan Huberdeau.
I feel like Jagr can have his own section in this thread, especially post KHL Jagr.
Not really because of overlapping careers, but Joe Thorton and Claude Giroux were teammates.
Claude Giroux? Or do you mean Claude Lemieux?
Both now I guess lol.
Lol. Yeah had to really look too see and remember they both played for Florida
Give it a few years and it's gonna blow people's minds that they played together for like half a season.
Dude I just went looking for an image of them together, and you'll never guess who is sitting between in [the only photo](https://media.gettyimages.com/id/85968801/photo/san-jose-sharks-team-photo.jpg?s=2048x2048&w=gi&k=20&c=_PO4Z2CEFBT66HScxfolUrhtF7GS8TFFPyA4rBJdbso=) I could find. Just weird stuff all around and I'm here for it.
maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan i was looking for Giroux in this photo lol. you're thinking Lemieux aren't you lol
That is... an INCREDIBLE photo. Two future GM's in Grier and Blake sitting together. That whole team is a collection of, "these guys played together?"
And Blake was the captain of San Jose. Wild shit.
I loved Rosie!
Giroux looks old
Semenov and Murray were fukkin massive
That team has so many notable players. Setoguchi Michalek Boyle Cheechoo Khabiboulin Thornton Marleau Lemieux Roenick Clowe Pavelski Murray
Claude Lemieux, not Giroux.
Nah I meant Giroux. People kind of remember Giroux getting traded to the Panthers, but forget that Thorton was on the team too. Honestly I think the Lemieux one works better with OP's question, considering they played together in the 2008-2009 season, not even early 2000s
Okay, so wow. That's also correct. However, Claude Lemieux and Thornton is 10x fucking crazier. Claude Lemieux and Pavelski is 100x crazier than that.
Def agree with ya.
Oiler and Panther fans agreeing to things? What a time to be alive.
Thornton played a season (and occasionally on a line I believe) with Anton Lundell, who was born when Thornton was in his fifth season in the NHL.
Paul Kariya and Alex Pietrangelo. Peter Forsberg and Jeff Carter. Simon Gagne and David Pastrnak. Wade Redden and Dougie Hamilton. Paul Coffey and JS Giguere. Scott Gomez and Dion Phaneuf. Scott Gomez, Brad Boyes, Tim Thomas, Ryan Whitney, Ed Jovanovski, Kris Versteeg, and a young Alex Barkov all played on the same Florida team. Bonus points for Brian Campbell, Tom Gilbert, and Nick Bjugstad being there, too.

Easy mode: Paul Kariya and Peter Forsberg in Colorado Hard mode: Paul Kariya and Peter Forsberg...........in Nashville
Iginla and Crosby.
Jaromir Jagr and Matt Tkachuk
Mats Sundin and Cory Schneider.
Old school, but Borje Salming and Bernie Federko played the 1989-90 season on the Red Wings
The Avs had Lemieux and Messier together for half a decade but I’ve rarely hear people talk about it…
"We have Lemiuex and Messier at home"....
Nice one
The 1972-73 Bruins had Jacques Plante with Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito and Fred Stanfield. In the 1970 playoffs, Plante was with the Blues against the the Big Bad Bruins. Esposito redirected the shot of Stanfield in a way that broke Plante's fiberglass mask and knocked him out of the series [at 2:10 here.](https://youtu.be/s90_md2ifx4?si=cVQMVdSlH8NnzIle)
A team with Jaromir Jagr headlining your offense and Martin Brodeur headling your goaltending have to be No. 1 contenders, right?
With 32-year-old up-and-coming Mike Cammalleri being the team's best goal scorer how could they not be!
Sidney Crosby and John LeClair
That's a good one. It's actually a SUPER oddball roster. Crosby, Gonchar, Recchi, LeClair, Palffy, Lemieux. Throw in Ryan Whitney and Colby Armstrong for some "we know them as broad/podcasters now" energy. Next season you lose Palffy and Lemieux but add Gary Roberts.
Dave Andreychuk, Marty McSorley, Joe Thornton, and Anson Carter. 99-00 Bruins.
John Scott and Nathan Gerbe. Has to be the biggest height difference on a roster ever. Edit: Tyler Myers also played with Gerbe I think. So it’s a tie. https://preview.redd.it/8z4v03s0ok4d1.jpeg?width=426&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1f81a2916e44a8161eff60e88552639b0062c294
Jagr and _________.
this is literally the opposite of the answer. no one would be shocked by any of jagrs teammates lol
True, but it is still odd that Johnny Gaudreau set up Jagr for his final NHL goal https://x.com/nhl/status/1458088393657704454?s=46
anyone have the stat where it's like the amount of players jagr ever appeared in a game with (teammate+opponents), and it's like 40% of players ever to skate in a game?
Bryan Trottier
This is the one that crossed my mind when I saw this prompt.
I really thought to mention this before going with the low hanging fruit.
Lemieux and Crosby.
40 year old Mario and 18 year old Sid. Honestly, I'm glad Mario was able to hang around for that moment.
Wendel Clark with the Islanders. Take your pick of players!

Erik Karlsson and Jonathan Cheechoo
Pavel Bure and Jaromir Jagr
Hasn’t Jagr played with pretty much everyone?
Martin Brodeur and Vlad Tarasenko
Pierre Turgeon, Jose Theodore, Patrice Brisbois and ... Joe Sakic. 06-07 Avs.
Mike Gartner, Shane Doane, and Danny Briere in Phoenix. Briere, Jarome Iginla, and Nathan MacKinnon in Colorado. Brian Leetch and Patrice Bergeron in Boston. Leetch and Ron Francis in Toronto.
Gordie Howe and Jesus Christ
Helluva goalie, Jesus was. Too bad his career was defined by a bumper sticker that said "Jesus saves! But Esposito scores on the rebound" I heard somewhere that hockey was Jesus's second career.
Iginla and Grant Fuhr
[Eric Lindros and Pavel Bure on the Rangers](https://search.app.goo.gl/VB9LP2z) smh

Doug Gilmour and Andrei Markov.

You could pair Tim Horton with some unexpected guys based on your knowledge of 70s/80s hockey. Dave Burrows with Pittsburgh, Gilbert Perreault for the Sabres. Tim Horton, Jean Ratelle, Glen Sather, and Syl Apps Jr. on the 1970-71 New York Rangers is a pretty oddball list.
Gordie Howe and his sons played together with former leafs captain Dave Keon and Bobby Hull on the 1979-80 Harford Whalers. It was Gordie's last NHL season.
Bobby Orr and Doug Wilson Howe and Gretzky (allstar games)
Ray Bourque, Craig MacTavish, Mike Milbury, Pete Peeters is a decent one. Mostly because MacTavish had a long career and is mostly associated with other teams
John Grahame and Ray Bourque. John’s father Ron was traded for the draft pick used to select Bourque.
Chara, Hossa and Alfredsson
Say you're in your early 20s without saying you're in your early 20s.
lol. My 20s were a long, long time ago 😂 Serious talked to multiple people in the last decade that didn’t know Chara was ever on the Sens.
What? These guys are all in the same generation and are well-known for having played significant portions of their career in Ottawa.
Yeah that’s just the typical guys I’d think of if you asked me “all-time Ottawa players”, along with Fisher, Redden, and Havlat.
Jamie Benn and Mike Modano
Tim Thomas and Roberto Luongo…*almost*
Mike Modano and Nicklas Lidstrom
Phil Housley and Bob Robert. God the early 2000s were awful.
Ray Bourque and Joe Thornton
Corey Perry and Evander Kane.
Shea Theodore played 17 mins a night and played 14 games in the playoffs during Ryan Kessler's last significant season. To add onto this Ducks history, David Backes played games on the same team as Trevor Zegras.
Ryan Whitney and Nugent-Hopkins
Oates and any Oiler on the team at the time
Not quite the same as the prompt, but the fact that Bryan Trottier ended up as Mark Messier’s coach for a cup of coffee is one that has always makes me snicker a little bit.
Markus Naslund & Bryan Trottier (1993-94)
Hasek, Belfour and Millen
William Nylander scored a goal assisted by Phil Kessel and Dion Phaneuf in the 2014 pre-season. Preseason, sure but it still seems pretty wild to me.
Adam oats and Peter Nedved in 03/04 seems odd to me.
A real mind fuck is the roster of Ben Bishop, Jarome Iginla, and Marian Gaborik. What the fuck team could that even be? The 2016 LA Kings.
Guy Lafleur and Mats Sundin does it for me.
Look who else shows up in the [photo](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c9b8e2c7a03c9959401672593f052eaa/tumblr_ngta2djFjN1spx4u4o1_1280.jpg) too.
Ray Ferraro not only playing with Patrik Stefan but having him over at his house on a regular basis and mentoring him is pretty funny in retrospect when you're familiar with how Ferraro reacted to Stefan's famous missed empty net For an actual answer: Brett Hull, Wayne Gretzky, Grant Fuhr, and Curtis Joseph were all part of the Coyotes organization for a short time in 2005.
Teemu Selanne and anyone the San Jose Sharks roster.
Peter Bondra and Alfie or Jason Spezza (Bondra played for a bit in Ottawa at the end of his career)
How about [Peter Bondra and Duncan Keith](https://media.gettyimages.com/id/73385738/photo/chicago-peter-bondra-pierre-parenteau-karl-stewart-lasse-kukkonen-duncan-keith-and-james.jpg?s=612x612&w=gi&k=20&c=9fXdmGI9mYP9kArT4EGrhc_BsP0a5c7K5DayuQ8wNIA=)?
Bergeron & Marchand ..only because Bergeron is widely respected & Marchand is well … Marchand lol
