This is a colourized and enhanced example, but here’s Serge Aubin with the Penguins. He was drafted by them in 1994, and played with the organization from 1995-96 until 1997-98 (picture above is from 1996-97), but never got called up to Pittsburgh’s roster, as he signed with the Avalanche’s then-AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears, after getting traded there in 1998, with the 1998-99 season being his first in the NHL.

Excellent one - Trottier with the Rangers (02-03) - 54 G, 21-26-7, 49 Pts

The collection of players in front of him almost seem fitting for the thread as well...

From L to R: Dixon Ward, Jamie Lundmark and Matthew Barnaby. Not sure who it is on the right sporting the Nike badged Bauer bucket.

Here are two more headshot examples; Ray Sheppard and Mikhail Shtalenkov - Florida Panthers (99-00)
Ray’s stats: 47 games played, 10 goals, 10 assists, 20 points, 4 PIMs, -4
Mikhail’s stats (with Florida): 15 games played, 8 wins, 4 losses, 2 ties, 0.908 save percentage, 2.31 goals against average, 882 minutes

Neither player suited up for the playoffs, when the Panthers were swept by the eventual Cup winner, the New Jersey Devils.

That would be Legace's second round in a Canucks jersey while not seeing any game time.

In September 1999 he was claimed on waivers by the Canucks, spent two weeks with the team, and was claimed by the Red Wings when put up on waivers again.

Not sure if there's photo evidence of him from that era though.

Can't seem to find any photos from 1999 of Legace with Vancouver.

Did find one of him trying out for the Islanders in 2010.

These are some good ones.

Though I will say that there is one particular incident that makes Stefan’s time in Dallas pretty memorable.

I was trying to find a playing-days picture of Steve Yzerman and Daryl Sittler together on the Red Wings in 1984-85, but I couldn't. Anyone...?

That club had a lot of very different-generation players togther:
OLD: Sittler, Park , Boldirev
YOUNG: Yzerman, Kocur, Gallant

Couldn't find one with Yzerman and Sittler. Did get one of Yzerman and Park though - dated February 3, 1985. Final score was a 5-5 tie.

Not sure if there's photo evidence of him from that era though.

I've poked around for this as well.

He dressed as the back up for the Canucks first 3 games in 99/00. I even tried to look for footage of those games and came up empty handed.
