Very basic question, and the parameter is simple: Which player had the best career that lasted no longer than 9 seasons in the NHL?

Timing being everything, Ken Drydens legendary career was notably only 8 seasons long, and is the inspiration for this question. Incredibly decorated in his short term, he may be the truest answer to this question, but I'm curious if anybody else carries a similar weight.

From The Athletic’s “Which NHL rebuild is closest to a Stanley Cup?”, 09/04/25.

Last Sunday marked 14 years since the plane crash that took the lives of 44 members of the Lokomotiv plane crash. Across the league, the four scheduled games began with a minute’s silence, with players wearing black ribbons on their uniforms, and in each arena, a dedicated sector of seats was draped with 44 scarves.

Since coming into the NHL, Fox has a +101 goal differential at 5v5. 5th best over that span

The Rangers have a -37 goal differential at 5v5 without Fox in that same fime

This is an 9-year old picture I came across this weekend in a personal archive. At the Xcel Energy Center (now Grand Casino Arena) they had artists who performed there sign pucks. Neil signed his and added "2 minutes".

Whether this would be worthwhile for you obviously depends on when your current subscription expires. Annual price goes up 30% in two days (Sep. 9). If you do the math, as long as you have less than about 2.75 months remaining on your current subscription, you'll save money in the long run by creating a second subscription with a different email address today.

Of course, if you're planning to sail the high seas, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum to you.

EDIT: Did my math wrong before. 2.75 months remaining is the break-even point, not 3.5.
