Im interested in a list of players that made their NHL debut at an oddly old age. Like Rob Zepp at 32 for the Flyers or Magnus Johansson at 34 for the Hawks.

I would like to find a list of such players but for each team. I’d be interested to find out who’s the oldest player to have make the NHL for each team.

Anyone have such information? Or know where I could start my research?
 
Something like this:
NHL.com Stats

Exported in excel with a minus between first season and date of birth could be a start (you can change 1930 for the first nhl season and so on).

Now NHL debut will probably be different than Rookie or not, Gretzky for example had an nhl debut but was never a rookie and will make it more complicated than above.

Hockey reference would have been good for this, first season versus rookie and rank them by age and everything, but it seem to require and account now.
 
i think the answer must be ivan hlinka, who was a single day older than jiri bubla. they both were 31.

krutov was 29, larionov was 28, leif rohlin was 27. can’t think of any other contenders off the top of my head.
 
Or know where I could start my research?

When the PCHA and WCHL folded some of the old guard from there played twilight years in the NHL.

Hugh Lehman, for instance, the goalie, was 40+ when he debuted in the NHL with the Black Hawks.
 
Lehman was 41.
And already a HHOFer after being the PCHA's greatest goalie ever.
 
People often are surprised to hear...

Johnny Bower was 29 in his NHL rookie year (a proven AHL star who didn't want to play in the not-lucrative NHL)... and Bower was the NHL 1st team all star Hart trophy runner up as a 36 year old...

BEFORE...

(let.that.sink.in.)

his 4 Stanley Cups!

Here's a list from my research for every team name. (sometimes same franchise)
It should be fairly accurate unless I missed someone.
Btw, these type of queries should be put under a Q & A sticky thread, because they pop up from time to time.

Lehman was 41.
And already a HHOFer after being the PCHA's greatest goalie ever.

Nice one. For the Hawks, the first guy who came to mind was their emergency goaltender Scott Foster from a couple years ago. But he was “only” 36. (Maybe a team-high for the modern era?)

I'm pretty sure the oldest ever will be Lester Patrick.

I know you most likely know this, but that Final wasn´t Lester Patricks debut as Ranger. He debuted in Rangers inaugular season as defenceman. Played few minutes and got tripping penalty.

True, thanks for reminding me of that. He is still the oldest Rangers debutant, but was a tad younger, being only 43+ at the time :)
