#4. Derick Brassard: Flyers, Oilers, Coyotes, Islanders, Panthers, Avalanche, Penguins, Senators, Rangers, Blue Jackets
Derick Brassard’s Flyers career was short, but his NHL career has been long, and during that time he’s played for just about every team under the sun. Brassard signed a one-year contract with the Flyers on Aug. 25, 2021, and lasted only 31 games before the journeyman center was on the move again.
Prior to his time with the Flyers, Brassard played for the Columbus Blue Jackets, New York Rangers, Ottawa Senators, Pittsburgh Penguins, Florida Panthers, Colorado Avalanche, New York Islanders, and the Arizona Coyotes. The Flyers would trade him to the Edmonton Oilers for a 2023 fourth-round pick, which ended up becoming Slovakian LW Alex Ciernik. After that, the 35-year-old returned to Ottawa for a second time, but never crossed paths with former Rangers teammate Del Zotto, who was busy playing for the Belleville Senators in the AHL.
During his 16-year NHL career, Brassard has played for over half of the Metropolitan Division, and of course that won’t include his multiple stops in the Pacific, Central, and Atlantic Divisions. He’s basically a Puckdoku lock any time a Metropolitan or Atlantic team appears.
