…you must be elite.

“Throughout Pittsburgh sports history, only Sidney Crosby and the Pirates’ Willie Stargell have spent two decades with a team in this city. When the puck drops tonight, Crosby will become just the 11th player in NHL history to spend their entire career with one team spanning a minimum of 20 seasons joining Alex Delvecchio (24), Stan Mikita (22), Steve Yzerman (22), Dit Clapper (20), Jean Beliveau (20), Patrik Elias (20), Henri Richard (20), Ken Daneyko (20) and Nicklas Lidstrom (20). Alex Ovechkin, who is also entering his 20th season with Washington, will be the 12th player in NHL history to accomplish this feat Saturday night when the Capitals take on New Jersey.”

“Entire career with one team” is only true until they cap dump him to Arizona.

Kopitar and Malkin will join Sid and Ovy next season as they're from Sid and Ovy's draft classes respectively but were rookies in '06/'07.
