Adam Kirshenblatt: HHOF Adjusting with the NHL

Fun fact: Federov and Pronger will be the Anaheim Ducks' 4th and 5th Hall of Famers, following Scott Niedermayer and "franchise legends" and longtime Ducks Jari Kurri and Adam Oates. I don't know about you guys, but I remember Federov for his time in Anaheim.

Yeah, neither player will be remembered for their time in Anaheim. Federov is a Red Wing, Pronger is a Blue. The first REAL Ducks hall of famer will be Selanne.

Fedorov played 12 seasons for Detroit before playing 2 seasons with Anaheim. I think most people would remember him playing for Detroit. Same with Pronger. As much as I enjoyed him in Philly, he'll be remembered for playing in St. Louis.

Always an interesting question... where do you remember a player from? The notable one to me is Hasek, who played pretty long stints in both Buffalo and Detroit. I still think of Hasek as a Sabre despite his success and tenure as a Red Wing afterwards. It was cool that Buffalo chose to retire his number at a game against Detroit this year.

Federov is certainly remembered as a Wing, and Pronger as a Blue, but does Anaheim still take some pride in them when they are put into the Hall? As a fan, I don't know how I would feel about it, but I haven't been in that situation as future Hall of Famers don't often end up Leafs towards the end of their careers.

You can't claim Fedorov when you spell his name wrong.

You may be too young, but Joe Nieuwendyk & Ed Belfour say "hi".

There's other examples that include Ron Francis, Brian Leetch, Phil Housley, potentially Eric Lindros. Likely to be a drought in the future though.

I do think some players deserve being remembered for more than one place. Al MacInnis for example. 11 seasons and a Conn Smythe trophy in Calgary, number honored in the rafters. 10 seasons and a Norris trophy in St. Louis, number retired. All star multiple times for both teams.
