In my first two trades, the primary player I was traded for was French Canadian.

In my first 10 full seasons, I only missed 18 games.

In my last year my playoff goal total was equal to my regular season goal total.

Who am I?

I wanna say Kirk Muller, I know he was traded for Richer when he went to Montreal, but for the life of me I can't remember or find anywhere who he was swapped for when he went to the Island. A quick look at his stats shows that in '03 he scored 1 goal in both the regular season and playoffs, and was quite the iron man in the early years of his career.

But who was Captain Kirk traded for in '94-'95?

I was once traded for a former Calgary Flames goaltender.

In my rookie year my team faced the goaltender above in the playoffs.

I am known for my speed.

I do believe you're looking for stone-hands himself, Shean Donovan.

Traded for Rick Tabaracci (Col - Atl) in 1999.

Rookie season with the Sharks in 1994-95, when the Sharks beat the Flames (sniff sniff) in 7 games despite the epic perfomance of one Theoren Fleury, putting up 14 pts (7G, 7A).

Here is a new one:

Wayne Gretzky has scored 11 career regular season goals on me.

I have played NHL hockey in 4 NHL cities. Those cities have seen 11 Stanley Cups in total.

I have 16 career assists.

Really tough one, initially I assumed that you meant the Isles and the Rangers both played in the same city, which means 8 total cups if the goalie played for either team. But once I got that sorted out I found Chico Resch, who played for:
Philly - 2 cups
the Isles - 4 cups
the Rockies - 2 cups for Denver
the Devils - 3 cups

Plus, 16 career assists and 11 times victimized by Wayner.

I can't believe you got that one!

I don't know why, but I figured it had to be an eastern conference goalie (which thinking about it now makes no sense because I don't even know what the schedules were like back in the early 80s) as any goalie out west when Gretzky was young got scored on more than 11 times, and when he was older didn't likely score on anyone that much. Also, unless the goalie was a Senator or a Wing, he pretty much had to play for all teams with 2 - 5 cups.
Tricky though, by all means keep 'em coming, otherwise I'll have to see if I can create a few of my own.

I was one third of the "bread line."

I played for one NHL team my entire NHL career.

The city I am from currently has an NHL team.

Try again!

EDIT: Actually I did a google search and I guess there were two "bread lines."
Weird.

I guess Boucher is correct!

^ The guy I was looking for was Mac Colville.

http://www.newyorkrangers.com/pressb...ses.asp?id=904

Mac had the pleasure of skating alongside his older brother Neil on Broadway, where the two joined forces with left wing Alex Shibicky to form the ‘Bread Line’ – dubbed by the local sportswriters as the team’s ‘bread and butter.’ When the line was first formed, for the 1936-37 season, the ‘Bread Line’ was the youngest trio in the National Hockey League – Mac was 20, while Neil and Alex were 22.

Mac was from Edmonton where of course they have the Oilers.

But then I found this on Boucher,

http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080/...io&list=ByName

A description of Frank Boucher must include both his brilliant playmaking as a center and his reputation as one of the most gentlemanly figures ever associated with the NHL. Teamed with Bill and Bun Cook, he formed the dangerous Bread Line of the New York Rangers and dominated the annual voting for the Lady Byng Trophy between 1928 and 1935.

And the ironic thing is that Boucher was the Rangers coach when Colville and the Ragners won the cup in 1940.
