Kind of surprised the list is that short. There’s a few guys who I would have figured had done it but were in the 150+ range with a second team. Still doesn’t feel like Tavares has been in TO 7 years now. The last 5 years have blown by.

Who was the better leaf Tavares or McDonald?

Not exactly fair to say, Tavares likely has another 5+ years as a Leaf. Story still being written

As much I support the Leafs hate and negativity, Tkachuk did not win a Stanley Cup either.

But I agree with you on Tavares

I was 50/50 on Tavares making the HHoF, but this season likely clinches it for him.

That’s actually impressive. Kinda shocked that only 5 guys have done that.

Good for Pajamas. That’s a legit accomplishment

I thought for sure Ron Francis would have done it with Hartford and Pittsburgh, but nope. I wonder who else just missed the mark

He probably will get in, but only because the standards have dropped so much. No NHL hardware, a bit of international success, Toronto Maple Leaf. It's Mats Sundin all over again!

Wouldn't that require Keith Tkachuk to come out of retirement at 52 years old and win a Cup?

If that's true, this management group is absolutely doomed.

If that's true, this management group is absolutely doomed.

Because Tavares at 5M or less is such a big problem right

In other words, he's the 1st player to score 200 goals for multiple franchises and not win a cup. Put that in the record books.

But Tkachuk's son (one of them) has cup. So like, half true.

Hall of Famer?

Brady Tkachuk could also join this list

Needs 22Gs in 48 games this year to hit 200 with Sens

If he gets moved in the summer he would need 200 over next 7-8 years with his new team if he stays there and is healthy should be done

Matt Tkachuk misses with 152Gs as a Flame and should have 200+ as a panther by time his current deal ends

kaprizov if he walks from the wild is another option as hell have 200Gs likely by end of this year and should get 200+ with a potentially new team if he walks/is traded

But the other has never made playoffs, so it's back to 0.

McDavid when he #ComesHome to #CanadasTeam

 

[vippe]

Recchi and Lafontaine came somewhat close and Esposito came real close.
I'm sure there's more, but I only checked a few fromthe top of my head.

Follow up question:
I did find a couple of players that did score 100+ goals with 3 or more franchises, is there someone that made it to 100+ goals with 4 franchises?

 

[SI90]

I thought for sure Ron Francis would have done it with Hartford and Pittsburgh, but nope. I wonder who else just missed the mark

The first person I thought who could end up being on the list was Matthew Tkachuk but I looked it up and he was short of 200 in Calgary

But the other has never made playoffs, so it's back to 0.

Fair point.
