Former NHLers

Some of those non-bolded names had cups of coffee in the NHL, too:

Maksim Sushinsky: 30 NHL Games (MIN)
Filip Novak: 17 NHL Games (OTT, CMB)
Tony Martensson: 6 NHL Games (ANA)
Rastislav Stana: 6 NHL Games (WAS)

I’m a nerd for these things, sorry. Also… Dmitri Yushkevich is still playing? Whoa.

Kevin Dallman? Kvein “I can’t beat out Jaroslav Modry for a spot” Dallman? Maybe I need to head over to Russia and try out.

I could’ve sworn Kirill Koltsov was a former NHLer, but I see now he had just 102 games in the “A” and otherwise has spent his career at home.

Sergei Brylin was robbed!

I think it’s cool that Ray Giroux got more votes than Karel Rachunek. Go ex-Devils!

Devils in my heart! Devils in my mind! Devils in my eyes! Devils until I die!
