How the “mighty” have fallen.

It's not about how many teams pass on him.

It's how many teams per minute, with extrapolated results.

Getting waived from a rebuilding team that has millions in cap space.

Ouch.

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

Columbus got him.

Blue Jackets claim D Dante Fabbro off waivers from Predators | TSN

The Columbus Blue Jackets have claimed defenceman Dante Fabbro off waivers from the Nashville Predators.

I just don't understand this decision by the Preds. He'll slot into a top 4 pairing in Columbus.... for nothing!!! $2.5M... Holl makes more!

Honestly I don't get it for Columbus who is blocking Jiricek more now.

Watching Penguins vs. Stars. 6-0 Stars after 1. Good times.

Clearly they want us to take Jiricek off their hands. And I know it's a lousy thing to ask, but I'm a team player so I'll help them out.

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

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).

From 10/6/19 to 3/3/23 Namestnikov was on 8 different teams.

And he is probably among the EN goal leaders for that time too.

Tied for 9th.

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).
