Glenn Anderson RW

Glenn Anderson is justifiably remembered by most hockey fans for his time with the Edmonton Oilers. He was a member of all five of their Stanley Cup wins and cemented his spot in the Hockey Hall of Fame because of his excellent play there. He also participated in four All-Star games and had three 100+ point campaigns as an Oiler. In 845 games over 12 seasons with them, he scored 417 goals and recorded 906 points.

After being traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs for the 1991-92 season, he would go to play there until the 1993-94 season. From here, the Rangers acquired him right before their 1994 Stanley Cup run in exchange for fellow Hockey Hall of Famer, Mike Gartner. Anderson would play just 12 regular season games with the Blueshirts and had six points. In 23 postseason games, he scored three goals and had six points. Although he was not the biggest factor offensively, his immense playoff success certainly came in handy during the Rangers’ run. This is where he would win his sixth and final Stanley Cup.

Anderson’s time with the Rangers would come to an end right after this. Although he was a Ranger for a short time, it was surely impactful. Ranger fans from the 90s will remember him for his time with the club, but the vast majority of opposing ones would not jump to this first. Thus, it feels fair to include him in this.
