Not many forwards make it to their fifth team before scoring their first NHL goal. But Derek Grant did exactly that (going goalless in Ottawa, Calgary, Buffalo, and Nashville before finally scoring 12 with the Ducks in 2017-18), and now he looks like a decent third-line centre at age 30. Sort of like a discount version of Derek Ryan -- and that honestly might be something that this team needs, if Ryan is on his way out the door.

Grant only played a handful of games for the Flames, not enough to get a feel for him in the NHL. With Stockton though he was fantastic.
