he is probably right. Bob Hallidis played 27 games with Tampa in 1995, and Brent Gretzky played 3. It’s quite possible their paths never crossed as Halkidis was traded from Detroit.

Halkidis certainly played with Wayne in LA, and played in the minors in Rochester a full year or two with Keith.

You could have confirmed in Bob Hallidis and Brent Gretzky had played together by checking Brent's 1994-95 game logs on hockey-reference(dot)com:

Other than Gretzky, Lemieux and Orr having more than one 90+ assists seasons, there are two other players to have more than one 90+ assist season, who are they?

I’ll try two more and then leave it others.

During Cal Ripken Jr's consecutive game streak, there was only one year that he didn't lead the league in games played. Who topped him, in which year, and with how many games played?

Answer: Tony Fernandez, 163 games, 1986: The Aug, 26th was stopped for rain in the 9th inning with a 6-6 score. It became officially a tie, and it was replayed the next day and that was the game that counted for the standings, but because the Aug. 26th game was regulation length it counted to players' stats.
