Tim Thomas signed with the Oilers and played some games with the then AHL affiliate Hamilton Bulldogs prior to be an NHL player.

The Oilers also owned the rights to both Brian Leetch and Mike Richter at some point.

[Toby91ca]

How can you forget about a notable player playing for your team?

 

[mr figgles]

Jagr.

Saw a pic of him in game and was perplexed. I do not remember that year for reasons.

He‘s like Mike Sillinger. Just assume he played for your team at some point, and you’re probably correct.
