Paul Kariya– In terms of star power ratio per team, the Ducks may be one of the best equipped alumni squads, but there’s one big name missing.
Louis is on the Tampa alumni roster for the third straight year, but it’s time to virtually reunite one of the hottest scoring duos of all time. Lecavalier has been or is about to be passed in most offensive categories by Steven Stamkos, but that doesn’t take away from the accomplishments he led the Lightning through during their original glory days. Vincent Lecavalier– The Lightning have a fairly impressive Alumni team, but the biggest missing piece may be their biggest star. During his last season in the NHL, he passed Fedorov for fifth place in points in Red Wings history.
The 17-year NHL vet has been retired for three seasons now due to back injuries, but his contract ran out at the end of 2021, so he is no longer in the regular game. Henrik Zetterberg- Datsyuk’s partner in crime during the heyday of their 2000’s Cup team Henrik Zetterberg is also noticeably absent from the game. Pavel Datsyuk– The Magic Man is still technically an active player in the KHL, so it could explain his absence from the game, but they’d usually sneak a player like Datsyuk in on the Russian national team, but for the second year in a row, that isn’t the case. Even though the Red Wings are well represented, the noticeable absence on Fedorov is still annoying. The six-time all-star has one Hart Trophy, two Selke Trophy, Three Stanley Cups and 1,179 points to his name. Sergei Fedorov– Speaking of important Russians, one of the best two-way players of all time is once again not represented in the video game. He was the first Soviet player to defect from Russia to play in the NHL, is a member of the triple gold club, a Stanley Cup champion and hold many firsts for Russian players in the NHL. ForwardsĪlexander Mogilny– To have somebody as important as Alexander Mogilny not included in the game just feels wrong. Some of which were featured on last year’s missing players list, but there are still holes and some of the best to ever do it are still not featured in the game. The rosters have grown substantially over the last few years, 87 new names were added to the Alumni teams for NHL22 alone, including Rick Nash, Simon Gagne, Milan Hejduk, Kris Draper, Adam Foote, Vincent Damphousse, Ryan Smyth, Chris Osgood, Brian Gionta amongst many other notable players, as well as the return of Jaromir Jagr. It is a great, yet still slightly underwhelming section of the game.
The alumni teams in EA Sports’ NHL series are one of the best additions to the game over the last few seasons.
