He looked to be leading that team to the Grail before the Olympic injuryHow good was Hasek with Ottawa? That would make him one. I remember him being injured but was his playing bad?

i was thinking Gretzky but was planning on leaving it for you!I looked that up for you...
It appears he was a 1st team All Star twice in Toronto and once in Montreal, but never with Detroit. With Detroit, however, he was a 2nd-team All Star twice.
So, still only Coffey and Chelios for three-team 1st-team All Stars...
Wayne Gretzky was top-3 in scoring for three different teams. Has anyone else done that? I thought maybe Oates had come close, but not so...
The guy doesn't get enough respect. What an awesome player.I'm giving Larry Murphy a 2nd vote. Started in L.A., played for WSH, MIN, PIT, TOR, DET over 21 seasons and did well wherever he went which were always good teams. Every team Murphy was traded to were playoff teams, and of his 21 seasons, the only playoffs he didn't play in were with the Kings in '82-83. 18 consecutive playoff seasons, 20 of 21. (I found that pretty cool).
Harry Lumley, Gary Simmons, Johnny Bower, Les Binkley, Ed Chadwick, Gilles Boisvert, Gary Suitcase Smith, Cesare Maniago, Marv Edwards, Bruce Gamble.... quite an endless list of Goalies...
Gypsy Joe Hardy. (aka Jocelyn Hardy) NHL, WHA, every imaginable minor league..
First pro to score 200 pts in a season, when he had 208 with the Beauce Jaros of the NAHL 1975-76.
Also on that Jaros team was former Buffalo Bison Alain Boom boom" Caron.
Does he fit OP's criteria? Maybe not. But, three of my favorite hockey names; Gypsy Joe, Boom - Boom, and the Beauce Jaros.
Former Jaro Gilles Bilodeau still gives me nightmares... They attacked Buffalo Norseman players during pre - game skate - which was the inspiration for the pregame melee scene in the movie Slapshot..
.... I see you Howie.... importing subject matter, convo's from elsewhere on the interwebs are we?
Lets not forget Richard Grenier. "Very unique & outstanding skating style". Nomad/Merc Big Time.
... 77 Goals & 83 Assists with Beauce in 76/77.... uh?... @Canadiens1958 prolly remembers this guy. Played for Rosemont, Verdun & the Quebec Remparts of the QMJHL late 60's early 70's... Lengthy career in Europe through the 80's.
Import Master Killion? From other conversations? Sans the exact year of the 208 points, it's imported from my little memory. You see Sir, I was around, and at a couple Norsemen games. Minor league legend Willie Marshall was the Norseman GM, and even had to dress a couple games when we ran short of players. They played at The Tonawanda Twin Rinks (later Tonawanda Ice Time) in good old North Tonawanda. Supported a travel team called The Tonawanda Tondas. Next to the rinks was a tennis center called Tennis Unlimited, which later became an indoor soccer complex called Soccer World - which I managed for several years. Address of 90 Ridge Road, which is off of Payne Avenue. Lived it brother!
Boom Boom had years earlier signed my friend's Buffalo Bisons program after a game at The Aud. "Good luck Paul, and do well in school, best wishes - Boom - Boom Caron."
The player the Jaros went after was defenseman Greg Need, once an NHL prospect who had lost an eye in Junior, and who Punch Imlach took a gamble on drafting. He wore a full mask, and the Jaros knew it would be hard to get him in the game because of this, and went after him prior to the officials being on the ice.
I'm certain Canadians1958, you and I, could converse about these matters without needing social media to form our opinions and facts off of. No doubt about it...
Richard.... Grenier..... Beauce... Jaros..... Tonawanda..... Joe..... Crozier.... Leafs.... Imlach.... Bisons.... Boom Boom.... Greg Neeld.... Toronto Marlies..... Facemasks, shields.... dots all connect Howie.... So ya, I see you. Call. Raise.
Right back attcha bro.....
Grenier.... Very unique skating style way... waaaaaay ahead of his time. Like Jean Beliveau meets Vladimir Kharlamov meets Pavel Bure'. Boy could SKATE. Thing of wonder by all accounts hence the invite to?..... @Canadiens1958 ....
