Mike Sillinger defines journeyman. After a 17-year career playing for an NHL record 12 different teams, Sillinger retired yesterday. He was traded an unprecedented ten times, five of which were within a week of the trade deadline. He played in nine different playoff seasons with eight different teams, only seeing the second round once - in 1991-92 with the Detroit Red Wings after spending the entire regular season in the AHL. Of the 12 teams he played for, only the Red Wings (who drafted him) were an original six franchise, and only played a full season with four: Detroit, Vancouver, Columbus, and the New York Islanders. His shortest tenure was with Ottawa, 17 games in the spring of 2001, and the longest he ever played in one city was 146 games with the Islanders.
But truthfully, Mike Sillinger was all about the trades.
