Twelve years ago, when right winger Lee Stempniak was about to enter the league as a fifth-round draft pick of the St. Louis Blues, Ulf Andersson of Elite Prospects said of him: "Stempniak is a speedy winger with good all-around ability. Can play in most situations, and has a very good shot. Lacks size, though." After 12 years and 800 games in the NHL, his size doesn't appear to have held Stempniak back.
This offseason, he bounced to his 10th different team, the Carolina Hurricanes. Despite not being able to stick in one city for long, Stempniak has had an impact on each team he has been on.
