And then there were two
Submitted by ldecock on 07/09/2008 - 15:25
One little piece of overlooked fallout from last week's Erik Cole deal: Rod Brind'Amour and Niclas Wallin are the only players remaining from the 2002 Eastern Conference championship team.
(Technically, David Tanabe is the third, but "buyout pending" keeps him off the list.)
In addition to Cole, Glen Wesley and Bret Hedican have also left the team this summer, while Craig Adams left during the season.

how about 2005-06
Wed, 07/09/2008 - 17:06 — ctillBesides Brind'Amour and Wallin, who's still around from the Stanley Cup team?
Kaberle, Cullen, Williams, Staal, Whitney, Cam Ward, Babchuk, and Larose.
Assuming Kaberle leaves soon, that's just nine from the Cup team.
