Maybe some game involving the whalers in the mid 80s

John Anderson
Dean evason
Dave tippett
Joel quenneville
Kevin dineen


An 86-87 matchup with the Habs would have also included

Bob Gainey
Larry Robinson
Guy Carbonneau

So I have no idea where this stands all time but maybe this serves as a starting point.

I counted eight.

And also Patrick Roy

Some game with the 1986 Habs would have featured: Roy-Tremblay-Gainey-Robinson-Carbonneau, maybe all of them on the ice at the same time at some moment

 

[reckoning]

Some of those Montreal-Boston playoff games in the late-70s would have had 10:

Lemaire
Robinson
Gainey
Risebrough
Tremblay

O'Reilly
Park
Cashman
Milbury
Cheevers

 

[MadArcand]

89-90 Whalers had 6 head coaches and 3 GMs, plus some assistant coach(es?) like Ulf Samuelsson and their very own announcer in Ray Ferraro:
Joel Quenneville
Dave Tippett
Dean Evason
Kevin Dineen
Randy Cunneyworth
Brad Shaw

Ron Francis
Pat Verbeek
Brian Lawton

Add Jimmy Roberts to the 76-77 Habs, so that’s 11 and if you go back to 75-76 Phil Esposito played his last 12 games with the Bruins and included two games against the Habs on Oct 9th and 25, 1975. I wonder if all 12 future coaches were in the lineup in at least one of those games?

You are definitely a hockey nerd and I love you for that.

I had to look up Jacques laperriere because I could have sworn he was never head coach. Apparently he coached 1 game.

It was the 95-96 season so I assume it was right after demers got fired but I have zero memory of it. In my mind, they went straight from demers to tremblay.
