According to Sportsnet when John Tavares scores his next goal with the Leafs he will be the 5th NHL player to have scored 200 goals with 2 different franchises. Name any or all of the other 4.
---Wayne Gretzky---Edmonton and LA(correctly answered by unassuming).
Brett Hull has to be one no?
EDIT: wow he isn't. I was thinking he spent more than 3 seasons with Dallas.

Messier and McDonald are correct.
La-la-la-la-la-lafontaine is incorrect.
I was surprised about Hull also.
I could not find anything online that listed the players involved, so I did the research myself. The final player involved was not someone I expected.

Damn I thought Patty was it for sure but you're right he only had 158 goals in Buffalo. He likely would have had it if not for all the concussions.
I'm intrigued to know the last one. The only other one I thought of was Teemu Selanne but I don't think he had enough seasons in WPG to get to 200.

The 4th player is Keith Tkachuk. He had 323 goals for the Winnipeg/Phoenix franchise and 208 goals for the St. Louis franchise. I never in a million years would have guessed that.

The AP NFL coach of the year award has been given since 1957. In all that time only one coach has won it with a team that had a winning percentage of .500 or lower. Name the coach and the team(not necessarily the year).

See post #5584 for the answer.
