Ashton was kinda done when Kypreos playing for the caps elbowed him in Winnipeg,he was out before his face bounced off the ice. Blood and teeth all over the ice. Kinda ironic Kippers career ended with his face bouncing of the ice. The vid used to be on YouTube but can't find it. Have to hunt through my vhs collection for it.
Check out the story of Mike Sillinger he played for like 11 teams I think.
jagr played for a lot of teams too that always fascinated me
Thomas Vanek should be featured on this channel. He played for Buffalo, NY Islanders, Montreal, Columbus, Minnesota, Detroit, Florida, Vancouver and Detroit. He could've stuck around with the NY Islanders, but refused to sign a contract extension because he hated how the Islanders were moving to Brooklyn.
He may have continued playing if he hadn't received a career-ending knee injury while with the Las Vegas Thunder. If it wasn't for that, the Los Angeles Kings may have signed him like they were originally planning to do.
LOL, I'm in the background of one of Brent Ashton's hockey cards. It was the 1988-89 season, he was playing on the Winnipeg Jets, one of the 9 teams he played on. My12 year old hockey team was selling 50/50 tickets during the intermission at the Jets game and during the game we got to sit in the front row. Just by luck and circumstance I ended up in the background of his hockey card lol.
I have a fun idea for video. Look into and follow the history of the Lindros trade pieces. If I remember correctly the last player /part directly attached to his initial trade retired from the NHL only a few seasons ago
This is the best hockey channel !!! Love the vids !!
Old Canucks, old Jets, old Colorado, Devils, North Stars… His first 5 teams might also be the 5 ugliest jerseys of all time.
imagine getting traded to winnipeg twice YIKES.
I have lots of brent Ashton's hockey cards its difficult sometimes because they have to move their families grapes said he did not like it when he lost his job as a coach it's hard on a player to find a place to live
The day Brent Ashton was traded by Quebec City, he was leading the team in points for the season.
I love when you announce a teams name with such drama like we the viewer are supposed to be shocked what team your saying hahahaha
It doesn’t seem like he was that bad of a player to be traded around so much.
It bothers me to see him 2 games off from 1000
Thomas Vanek's NHL map should be done too!
And what about the LOCKOUUUT ?
Maybe that was when I started hating the Canucks—when they had those butt ugly jerseys.
This GUY was TOUGH, I remember he was on the Bruins and my uncle was at practice and he said that B Ashton was the toughest guy on the team, I had not seen him fight. The next night he pumbled someone like I almost have never seen except for maybe a Cam Neely Beaten. Brent Ashton was one tough mother f'er.
You need to make a video on the David Ayres story.
Whatever happened to Jamomir Jagr
Great stuff
He was never traded to Devils because the Rockies became the Devils meaning he was only traded 8 times. Jagr was traded 9 times.
Over 600 career pts in almost 1000 games is pretty good for a second rounder….. and on 9 different teams.
I don’t think it can be a legitimate trade if he wasn’t paid from the team he was traded to or never dressed for them
saw Ashton sent packing to… THE WINNIPEG JETS
Carter Ashton was the least talented Ashton, he played for the Leafs, he looked like he was in way over his head in the NHL, and got thrashed in a couple of scraps.
I only see 8 trades
