From Boston, Keith Yandle began his NHL career with the Phoenix/Arizona Coyotes in 2006, the team he easily had his best seasons.
Yandle was a Coyote for eight years, peaking with a 59 Point year in 2010-11, where he was fifth in Norris voting, his highest finish. The Defenseman never finished higher than that, but he was a three-time All-Star (two with Phoenix and one with Florida) who had nine years of at least 40 Points, and likely would have ten had it not been for the lockout of 2012-13.
Traded to the New York Rangers during the 2014-15 campaign, he signed with Florida in 2016, producing his highest offensive year with 62 Points in 2018-19. In his final season, which was with Philadelphia, Yandle became the NHL ironman, playing in 989 consecutive Games, breaking Doug Jarvis’ record of 964, though a year later, Phil Kessel took over as the record-holder.
Yandle had 619 Points over 1,109 Games, a better career than most people may realize.
