How many NHL stars have finished their career as Rangers?

[Cmox]

I thought this would be a fun thread to make and I'll add as we. So how many stars finished out their careers as Rangers. The players who qualify had to be considered a star at their time. Consecutive successful seasons and/or at least one all star appearance.

W. Gretzky
M. Messier
P. Bure
R. Gilbert
S. Larmer
C. Drury
M. Dionne
P. Lafontaine
B. Cook
F. Boucher
J. Davidson
D. Kerr
W.Tkaczuk
R. Greschner
M. Straka
P. Esposito
B. Geoffrion
H. Morenz
T. Sawchuk
M. Naslund
P. Larouche

Should I put their NHL career stats and how they did with the Rangers? lol

Walt Tkaczuk
Ron Greschner

The Rangers usually get the "star" player on the downside of their careers.

haha, It's mostly the reason why I made this thread. Maybe later I'll add career stats/averages vs thier average stats as Rangers

edit: If anyone is super bored they're welcome to do the averaging stats.

 

[JohnC]

If we buyout Richards and he retires without joining another team after, he'd be a Star that retired as a Ranger

Pierre Larouche

427 career goals..48 one year with us..Lucky Pierre!

cos i have them on hand, here are the Rangers stats for the following players. Messier's are for his 2nd stint only (ie old man Messier):

Messier: GPG = 0.241 APG= 0.589 PPG = 0.897

Bure: GPG = 0.607 APG = 0.372 PPG = 0.980

Drury: GPG = 0.234 APG = 0.337 PPg = 0.571

Straka: GPG = 0.290 APG = 0.544 PPG = 0.834

Shanahan: GPG = 0.371 APG = 0.4 PPG = 0.771

stats are reg season only
