Red Wings Legends Who Got Their NHL Starts Elsewhere: Part 3
We've gone through numerous names in each of our first two looks back at some of the legendary names to have donned the Winged Wheel in their careers that actually got their starts in the NHL with a different club. Names like Brendan Shanahan, Brett Hull, Dominik Hasek, and Igor Larionov will always be special to Red Wings fans, especially for their key contributions to numerous Stanley Cup victories. Advertisement Even so, there remain several more names that continue to hold special places in the hearts of Red Wings fans. Mickey Redmond He's one of the best known former Red Wings players to a multitude of generations, many of which watched his career with the Red Wings and many more who know him from his work as a longtime television color commentator. Redmond began his NHL career with the Montreal Canadiens, where he won the Stanley Cup twice before a fateful trade to the Red Wings in the 1970-71 season in exchange for Frank Mahovlich. While Redmond didn't win the Stanley Cup as a player with the Red Wings, he was still one of their most impactful players for several years. Advertisement He also made franchise history by becoming the first Red Wings player to reach 50 goals scored in a single season. He was forced to retire at just 28 years old in 1976 owing to a back injury.

Chris Chelios One of the longest-tenured players in NHL history, Chelios began his career with the Canadiens and also won the Stanley Cup with them in 1986 before being traded to the Chicago Blackhawks, his hometown team. Chelios became known as one of the best defensemen in the NHL during his many years with the Blackhawks, and was even named their team captain. Advertisement But with the Blackhawks well outside of the playoff picture approaching the 1999 NHL Trade Deadline, Chelios was traded to the club he once infamously boasted that he'd never play for - the Red Wings. Chelios would eventually become a fan favorite in Detroit and would play the next 10 years of his career with the team, helping them to a pair of Stanley Cup wins in 2002 and 2008. He would be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2013. Brian Rafalski The Red Wings had a considerable hole on their blue line after the departure of Mathieu Scheider in free agency in the 2007 offseason, and they would fill it with arguably one of the best free agent signings in recent team history. Advertisement Brian Rafalski, a metro-Detroit native, was obtained by GM Ken Holland and signed to a multi-year contract. He formed an instant connection with defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom, with whom he was often paired, and helped the Red Wings advance to the Stanley Cup Final in consecutive seasons, winning in 2008. Rafalski had already won the Stanley Cup twice in his career as a member of the New Jersey Devils in 2000 and 2003; he was signed by New Jersey as an un-drafted free agent ahead of the 1999-2000 NHL season.
