2. Dave Ellett/Derek Morris/Keith Ballard : A solid defenseman with the Jets and an 1989 NHL All-Star.

Dave Ellett accumulated 299 points in 475 games while with the Winnipeg Jets club for seven years.

On November 10, 1990 he was traded to Toronto by Winnipeg with Paul Fenton for Ed Olczyk and Mark Osborne.

On February 25, 1997 he was traded to New Jersey by Toronto with Doug Gilmour and New Jersey’s 3rd round choice (previously acquired, New Jersey selected Andre Lakos) in 1999 Entry Draft for Jason Smith, Steve Sullivan (the development coach for the current Arizona Coyotes) and the rights to Alyn McCauley, February 25, 1997.

    • Derek Morris just used #2 for a short time, then when Keith Ballard and him were both traded to the then Phoenix Coyotes on March 9, 2004 he switched to #53. He wore that number until 2014, when the Coyotes did not renew his contract. He had played ten years for the Coyotes, and was a fan favorite. I always appreciated his hard, accurate shots from the point when he was on the power play.

    Keith Ballard is a hip check “expert.” I was a big fan of the way he would line up an opposing player along the boards, and throw his hip out in a perfectly legal manner to stop the player’s advance into the zone.

    Ballard’s list of teams is bit long:

    July 3, 2003: Traded to Colorado by Buffalo for Steve Reinprecht, July 3, 2003.

    March 9, 2004: Traded to Phoenix by Colorado with Derek Morris for Ossi Vaananen, Chris Gratton and Phoenix’s 2nd round choice (Paul Stastny) in 2005 Entry Draft, March 9, 2004.

    June 20, 2008: Traded to Florida by Phoenix with Nick Boynton and Ottawa’s 2nd round choice (previously acquired, later traded back to Phoenix – Phoenix selected Jared Staal) in 2008 Entry Draft for Olli Jokinen, June 20, 2008.

    June 25, 2010: Traded to Vancouver by Florida with Victor Oreskovich for Steve Bernier, Michael Grabner and Vancouver’s 1st round choice (Quinton Howden) in 2010 Entry Draft, June 25, 2010.

    July 5, 2013: Signed as a free agent by Minnesota, July 5, 2013.
