OT - 20 Questions (Hockey Edition #1)
 

I'm thinking of a journeyman player who played ten years in the league and was the beneficiary of being traded at the deadline to the eventual Stanley Cup Champions.

I don't know everything about this player so I won't count any questions I can't answer.

Am I a defenseman?

No. 19 left.

Did I win the cup with a Canadian team?

Yes. 18 left.

Are you a European?

No. 17 left.

Was the Stanley Cup Champions you were traded to the Montreal Canadians?

No. 16 left.

Was it the Calgary Flames?

Yes. 15 left.

Were you traded from a team that no longer exists (i.e. a team that has moved)?

Good question and tough to answer with a yes or no...

I'll have to say yes, not 100% yes, but yes is more correct than no. 14 left.

Was the team you were traded FROM a Canadian team?

No. 13 left.

Did he play collegiate hockey in the states?

Yes. 12 left.

Nevermind

Are you Brian MacLellan?

:) That was my guess...

:D

Well, we'll see if it's it (I'm fairly sure it is).

Bingo. Well done.

He was traded from the Minnesota North Stars for Perry Berezan. He only amassed 5 points during the Stanley Cup run but did go on to play two more years in Calgary. Perry is a local guy and is still shocked he was traded away from a Stanley Cup team. Brian was a big but slow left winger while Perry was a speedy centerman who could chip in on the PK and was a good checker. Cliff Fletcher simply wanted more size up front for the stretch drive.
