Spencer Martin spent a decade in Washington after being taken by the Caps in the Inaugural Draft. He has now been a member of three teams in less than a week.

Great to finally see a GM doing good work in MTL. The Habs have been an EHE afterthought for too long.

Not so fun fact: Marc-Andre Fleury and Sergei Bobrovsky both recently eclipsed 20,000 career saves. Fleury has never won an EHE playoff round and Bobrovsky has only reached the playoffs three times.

Fun fact: Frederik Andersen just became the third goalie to play in 600 EHE games. He's only played in 509 games in real life.

Kevin Lacy I'm sure that there are. Much like how there are a few players here who never ever clear waivers, even if they've only played like 4 NHL games over their 8-year pro career.
