Notes:
Mike Knuble broke into the NHL with the Detroit Red Wings late in the 1996-97 season.  He would win Stanley Cups with the Wings in each of his first two years (although his name was only engraved on the cup after the 1997-98 title).  Since then he has made the rounds among some of the league's highest profile teams: the New York Rangers, Boston Bruins, Philadelphia Flyers, and now the Washington Capitals.  He has transformed from a bruising young fourth-liner, to a top scorer (peaking with 65 points for the Flyers in 2005-06), to an elder statesman.  Now 39 and battling through an injury-filled season in Washington, he is still trying to get back to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since his first two seasons in Hockeytown.
