Seven Degrees of Mark Messier

[Chadd 916]

Last night in chat we we decided to see if there was one NHL player that could be related to any other active NHL player within 7 steps. We only used NHL teams and the players had to be on the roster at the same time to count as a link.

We know Mark Messier works. See if you can find any others.

Since Kevin Lowe is a GM, would he work?

Or do you just want to use 03-04 rostered players?

Only active players

Damn. I know that there's a guy who has been on 11 or so different teams, I'm sure that he'd be a candidate.

Edit- Jim McKenzie isn't who i'm thinking of, but he's been on a ton of teams.

Michel Petit isn't active anymore. :D

Marc Bergevin is getting close

Haha, no. The guy's played on Anaheim, St. Louis, Minnesota (I think) and nashville among others. Damn, can't remember his name.

Between Chadd, JR, Eazy, Bulletproof, and TJ there wasn't a single player they couldn't link to Mess. Even when we tried to make it hard, it wasn't.

How about Jarrod Skalde?

Bergevin is who I was thinking, he's been moved around 7 times in the last four years.

What about Oates, he's been all over.

How about Stu Grimson? Hes been everywhere too!

[mack 44]

Odelein's primate ass has been around too.

[Jim Bob 0]

How about Luc Robitaille and Brett Hull?

[Chadd 916]

How about Jarrod Skalde?

He got moved four times in one week if I remember correctly. Every time a team tried to get him to clear waivers, someone picked him up.

Skalde@hockeydb

[JR Boucicaut 3801]

Yeah, he's been part of at least 8 organizations. He skates with us in the summer.

what about Leech, he's got longevity going for him if he doesn't have the team jumping that mess does.

[Eazy_b97 1]

I would think he'd be the same as Mess because they played together at the same time and I'd say 90% of what we answered for Mess was with a ranger link.

Odelein's primate ass has been around too.

Was it Barnaby that said he looked like Cornelius from "Planet of the Apes"?

[mack 44]

Indeed

I can be linked to Messier in 4 steps... of course, I never played in The Show though...

Mark Messier played with Wayne Gretzky on the Edmonton Oilers, NHL.

Wayne Gretzky played with Angelo "Angie" Moretto on the Indy Racers, WHA.

Angie Moretto played with my dad, Mike Prentice in the Southfield (MI) Over-30 league.

I, Josh Prentice, currently play with my dad Mike in the Southfield Over-30.

How about you guys, anyone else able to link to Mess? (Should use real teams, not pick-up skates)
