Could Adam Clendening break the record for most NHL teams played for?

[Regnes]

I was just looking at the kids stats and noticed he's played for an absurd amount of teams in such a short period of time. This is only the second season of his career, and in a 1 year time frame he has been signed to a whopping 5 teams.

Mike Sillinger holds the record at 12. Looking at Sillinger's stats, he was never bumped around as rapidly as Clendening has been. The biggest factor being the long duration of his career. Clendening is currently 23 years old.

He wont be in the league long enough. I expect Edmonton to be his last stop.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Will he be good enough to have the length of career required to play for that many teams? Probably not.

 

[chupanibre]

Nobody is holding on to him for more than a handful of games for a reason.

Maybe if expansion comes quickly

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

If he's being bumped around that much, he's probably going going to be bumped out of the NHL eventually.

 

[Royal Thunder]

There's a difference between a quality journeyman (Sillinger, Stempniak) and a guy bouncing around trying to find a team that thinks he is NHL caliber.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

1 more team may give him a chance next season, but then after that hes done.

 

[Captain Bowie]

He's not good enough to play long enough. Sillinger played for a lot of teams because a lot of teams wanted him.

 

[Captain Timo]

Arcobello says hi.

 

[ScaredStreit]

No. Although Sillinger played for over 1/3 of the league...he was a legit NHLer, his last few on the Islanders he was solid enough.

Maybe if expansion comes quickly

Good thing to keep in mind. This is exactly the sort of player whose career gets extended by expansion.

 

[incognito Burrito*]

Sillenger was a good player that teams wanted, kind of like Stempniak.

 

[Kranix]

Mike Sillinger played for all 30 franchises, and all the AHL clubs.

 

[McGhostbuster]

Jagr

 

[jw2]

Dominic Moore is up there

 

[Captain Bowie]

Good thing to keep in mind. This is exactly the sort of player whose career gets extended by expansion.

Which should be an argument against expansion.

Lee stempinak is at 9.
