Now that we’ve hit the good year 2025, the NHL is slowly releasing their Quarter-Century teams for all 32 franchises (yes, Utah is actually represented by Arizona because Uncle Gary refuses to let that dream die). The leagues started the reveal with St. Louis and Chicago, the two teams that participated in the Winter Classic, and appear to be rolling them out in no particular order. At some random point they will announce the Lightning’s honorees, but before that happens, we decided to give it a shot.
The criteria includes any player any player that played for the franchise after January 1, 2000 (sorry Michael Nylander, you don’t qualify since you were traded in November of 1999).
