Stevie please dont go for Mike Sullivan if he becomes available. Just look what Pens fans think of him.

His teams/60 is growing at a very nice generational rate! With some luck he could top the list.

You're right! Though you'd have to establish some sort of minimum number of years or GP for a truly meaningful list. And what could be more meaningful than Teams/60? Legendary former Wings first-rounder Mike Sillinger has the Career Teams title, probably forever, with 12 in 19 years, so .63 Teams/Year (per 60 is beyond my math capability). AA is now at four teams in nine years. He'll have to really turn it on over the next couple years to approach Sillinger, but three teams over the next two-plus years could do it! Awaiting verification of course of the Teams/60 stat converted from the Teams/Year stat.

There would be, unfortunately, an asterisk beside AA even if he got the Teams/60 title. Only one team has ever wanted him badly enough to trade for him. Sillinger, by comparison, never ran out of teams that wanted him, traded nine times (tied for the NHL career lead with Brent Ashton, whose Teams/Year rate is an astonishing .64/Year).

no idea who they are if there is but there's probably someone out there somewhere that played like 1 year in the league and was on 3-4 different teams in that year

Exactly. Which is why you'd need a minimum number of years/GP played for a truly meaningful Teams/60 list. Billly Bob Crowdip isn't considered a .400 hitter just cuz he got eight bloop singles in 20 AB as a September call-up one season.

From 10/6/19 to 3/3/23 Namestnikov was on 8 different teams (one of which, SJ, he never played for).

Good eye picking out Namestnikov, a fast-rising contender for the Teams/60 career title thanks to that incredible hot streak over three and a half years. For his career, that's seven teams (TB twice) in 12 years. He's 32, still a decent player for a really good team, and cheap! And a FA next summer! The slow start for his career though still makes him a longshot for the Teams/Year (and maybe also Teams/60) career title. He'd need four more teams over the next four years to have a yearly rate (.69) better than Ashton. Just three new teams over the next four years won't quite do it (.625).

I'm finding myself immensely disappointed in Jack Hughes. ESPECIALLY when looking at the comparables and seeing how much they have stepped up to exceed draft expectations

Alex Laferriere: 15 points in 18 games
Sebastian Aho: 190 GP
Elias Pettersson: Getting regular playing time with the ahl Canucks right npw
Heck, even Ivan Ivan is playing regularly for Colorado.

Jack Hughes has the highest draft pedigree of these guys, but he's falling behind and needs to step it up if he's going to make it to the NHL

Do you have Jack Hughes confused with someone else? He's on pace for 90 points. Nearly broke 100 points a couple seasons ago. He's at a 1.22 p/g pace over the last three seasons.

Me confused. Are you talking about the other not high rated Jack Hughes, or the NJD one?

I think they're making a joke about Jack Hughes the first overall pick sharing a name with Jack Hughes the rando second round pick by the Kings. If you mix the firsts expectations with the latters results, it implies a severely underperforming player. Ultimately this implies a "HfWings posters don't actually watch the rest of the league and make silly mistakes" joke, or something like that. Ogee thought it was funny at least.

I was going for “all the guys with funny names seem to be exceeding expectations and are remaining relevant so we can continue to laugh at their funny names…except for fake Jack Hughes”

He's a decent bottom 6 guy on your college team. I've watched him several times with Northeastern and BU; he's fundamentally solid. Good enough for the guy I refer to as "not THAT Jack Hughes".

Mark Arcobello is the probably the closest to your scenario, but he was traded 3 times in his third season with the Oilers. (Only played one game his first season, so maybe that shouldn't count.) Wound up playing for 5 teams within one year. Undersized winger who's now playing in Switzerland.
