Yes, that's it. I knew one of their TDL additions of long-time vets ended up playing just a single game. Thought it was Francis. I guess could've also been thinking about Gilmour as post above mentions.

Yes, it ended up being the final game of his career but it's the year where the leafs decided to pick up every veteran imaginable at the deadline.
On that note, I just remembered now that Brian Leetch was briefly a leaf.
Robert dirk played 2 games in Montreal before suffering an injury which signaled the end to his nhl career at age 29.
I used to think he was on several rosters - at the same time.
In fact, if Sillinger didn’t play for a team, that team wasn’t in the NHL.

Obviously if I forgot I couldnt post it, but I bet many habs fans forgot that Robert Lang played for us, and really really well.
And a cool answer, while he didnt technically play for the team, the Habs acquired (claimed on waivers?) Devan Dubnyk for the AHL club just before he had a string of 5 stellar seasons as a starter

The Caps have an alumni all-time forgotten lineup:
Kovalchuk-Fedorov-Jagr
Chara-Housley
Lundqvist

Eric Weinrich was a Flyer for a minute. Only thing I remembered about him was that yellow tinted visor he always had

Yeah I do remember that yellow visor but only later in his career. I don't think he wore it during his time with the Hawks or Habs.

Yeah, he played well on a line with the kostitstyns and then tore his Achilles in a game against Boston, and that was it.
He came back with the yotes the following year to put a cap on his career.
Lang had a very strange career. A very late bloomer but also had a very productive career throughout his 30s.

Blanked on Eric Brewer on the Ducks for awhile there. Got him from Tampa for a 3rd rounder, broke his foot after 2 games and missed 2 months, played a handful of games when he returned, and then was sent to Toronto for Korbinian Holzer at that deadline.

Jussi Jokinen, noted shootout assassin, played for four teams in 2017-18. He ended his tour with 14 games in Vancouver, and was witness to the final Sedin home game. Actually, if you watch the video of the overtime goal from that game, it's a real "who's who" of forgotten Canucks.
