Only guys I can think of that come close are Strudwick and Valiquette, who played for European teams between Ranger stints.

Not only did Martin Rucinsky do this once, playing with StL after his first stint as a Ranger, he did it again for a second time, going to Vancouver and then coming back the next year.

Wow, I have zero recollection that Tikk came back in the 98-99 season.

I think he was a training camp try-out and really wowed. But it turned out he spent all his energy in that wowing and had nothing left.

He played a lot of hockey in his career. Plenty of long playoff runs, plus he never shied away from contact. His body was pretty worn out by age 34.

Bumping this after a stupid loss to throw out this name:
Johan Lindbom
I know he ended up going back to Sweden, but curious what happened after that. His Swedish career ended very quickly all things considered.

Long time fan since 1989. There are many names that come to mind. Heck just the 03-04 roster alone contains at least 10 them that you immediately ask "Who?"
Most obscure things I've seen from obscure players.....
Jeff Toms, an AHL caliber talent with size, as a fill in winger for Fleury on the FLY line, records a hat trick in the 01-02 season versus the Bruins.
Vladimir Vorobiev, a middling prospect, has a 4 point night on the Messier Graves line. Apparently Messier was not a fan and he only played in a handful of games.
Rumun Ndur once scored a goal for the Rangers.
Dale Purinton was a Top 6 defenseman for 2 seasons.
NHL ready prospects were once considered to be the likes of Johan Witehall, Jan Mertzig, Christian Dube, Josef Balej, and Corey Hirsch.
Keep all of those in perspective when criticizing our current team made up of young talent, draft and trade fleeces, and mostly strong FA signings.

Tikkanen had 3 stints with the Rangers. His 3rd one was atrocious but the 1st and 2nd were huge to our success at those times

Just going to throw out some random players that still give me a chuckle:
Matt Puempel, Jeff Woywitka (witnessed his only Ranger goal in person), Enver Lisin, Justin Falk (not to be confused with Faulk), Ondrej Pavelec, Ales Kotalik, Dmitry Kalinin, Kris Newbury (played an elimination playoff game over healthy scratch Brad Richards. Thanks Torts!) and last but not least Jayson Megna who is somehow currently on an NHL roster

hated the Lisin deal from the git-go.
Classic sell-high by 'Yotes after his just 13-8-21.
Torts swept out too many from bottom 6, heading into his first full season behind the bench - Betts, Sjostrom, Lauri
Lisin played 57 NHL games in his only subsequent NHL season,
Korpi went on to play 541 more NHL games (+22 playoffs)

Did Rochefort get hurt in that tournament and never quite recovered ? I seem to remember him as damaged goods when NY got him.....something along those lines....

sorry, can't help here, by early '90's had 2 young kids, and my attention to off-ice stuff, and my memory overall for NYR-related stuff, has been inconsistent ever since ...

He had chronic knee issues that basically shortened his career. I'm not sure if they originated from that Canada Cup, however.

In the plain names category, remember John Moore? Then there's Jason Doig.

Always a bit annoyed that both Rico Fata and Pascal Dupuis were both Rangers who went on to Pittsburgh and had better performance there as support plugs. Fata was faster than Kreider in a straight heat.
