Ben Smith makes it official with Addler Mannheim (DEL) with a 3-year deal.

How many players win a Calder Cup after a Stanley Cup?
 
Will have to try and time my annual Eisbaren Berlin trip with a Mannheim game next season. Adds a bit of extra interest.
 
I am guessing out of all the players that have played 1,000 regular season games Stajan would have played in the least playoff games.

Can anyone confirm? I cannot figure out how to confirm my suspicion.
 
If he was still an effective 4C I would have loved for him to return here for a season and retire a Leaf (preferably with a Cup). One of my favourite Leafs from those days. Unfortunately this past season seemed to definitely prove his NHL days were done.

1000 games before he even turned 35 years old though is a heck of an accomplishment.

I kinda just eyeballed this (looked at the list of players with 1000+ games on wikipedia, and checked guys who played since expansion in the 90s on mostly bad teams) and I do believe Stajan holds that unflattering record. Steve Staios, Eric Brewer, and Derek Morris were the next closest and they're all in the 30s for playoff GP.
 
I'm currently watching former Leafs prospect Tyler Biggs playing for Nottingham Panthers in Belfast. He has 1 assist so far.

I thought for sure there was no chance in hell that Kamarov would ever be an All-Star again but playing with those two, who knows?
