Andrej Sekara enjoyed a long career in the NHL, with the first half appearing as a Buffalo Sabre, but he had greater success with other teams after he left Western New York.

The Defenceman was traded to Carolina in 2013, and he had his best season offensively with a personal best of 44 Points.  After a brief stay in Los Angeles, Sekara had back-to-back 30-plus Point years, but injuries kept him from having an entire season again, and he spent his last four years in a veteran role on lower pairings as a Dallas Star. 

A very clean player, Sekara only had 212 Penalty Minutes over a 15-year career but only received Lady Byng votes once. Sekara only appeared in the playoffs four times but did succeed in other tournaments, namely as a member of Team Europe in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.

Alexander Semin was a First Round Pick of the Washington Capitals in 2002, making the team a year later, but his NHL progress was delayed by having to serve two years in the Russian Army.

Semin returned and was a productive wing for the Caps, producing three 70-Point seasons for the club, peaking with an 84-Point year in 2009/10, where he was seventh in Goals with 40.  After seven years in Washington, Semin signed with the Carolina Hurricanes, playing three years there before one year in Montreal.

Following the 2015/16 Season, Semin returned home to Russia, where he played for six years before retiring.  While representing Russia, Semin won four medals in the World Hockey Championships; 2 Gold, 1 Silver, and 1 Bronze.

He scored 517 Points in the NHL, 408 of them as a Capital.

Sports enthusiasts certainly love untypical forms of entertainment that might ensure the same rush of adrenaline as a heated game of their favorite sport. However, sometimes it might be challenging to find something that will engage you the same as a great match between rival teams. Here are some suggestions for the best forms of entertainment that will satisfy even the pickiest sports enthusiasts.

So…what does longevity mean?

As far as we are concerned, it should matter a lot!

As of this writing, Patrick Marleau is the most tenured player in the National Hockey League.  The Canadian forward played 23 seasons (21 with San Jose) and logged 1,779 Games with 1,197 Points.  Marleau was never a threat for any individual award, but he was consistent for a long time, played both ends of the ice, and was a clean player who rarely made mistakes.  He was also a three-time All-Star.

As good as he was, and as long as he played, is Patrick Marleau a Hall of "Very Good" player, or was he the next level?  Anyone, who holds the record for Games Played, is a member of the 1,000-Point club will likely be considered Hall of Fame worthy!

We are fascinated to debate this further!
