Greg de Vries D

Greg de Vries was on the move pretty often over his career, as he played for six teams in 13 total seasons. During the 2003-04 season, he was a member of the Rangers. In 53 games with the team, he scored three goals and recorded 15 points. Yet, this would complete his time with the Rangers, as he would be dealt to the Ottawa Senators at the deadline for Alexandre Giroux and the late Karel Rachůnek.

During his career, de Vries had most of his success with the Avalanche. In 379 games with them, he scored 22 goals and had 82 points. This also resulted in him winning a Stanley Cup in 2001. After being traded to the Senators from the Rangers, he played just 13 games with the former and joined the Atlanta Thrashers after the 2005 NHL lockout. He would play two seasons there before finishing out his career with the Nashville Predators.

In 878 career NHL games, de Vries had 48 goals, 146 assists and 194 points.
