[edit] Playing career
Sillinger was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in the first round, eleventh overall, in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft. He stayed with the Red Wings until the 1994-95 NHL season when he was traded to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. After a short stint in Anaheim, he wound up playing for the Vancouver Canucks. Since Vancouver, he has been on the roster of nine other teams: the Philadelphia Flyers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Florida Panthers, Ottawa Senators, Columbus Blue Jackets, Phoenix Coyotes, St. Louis Blues, Nashville Predators and the Islanders.
Of these 12 teams, Sillinger has full seasons with only Detroit, Vancouver, and Columbus. The rest of the teams, he was traded to or from during a season. When Sillinger joined the Predators for the 2005-06 NHL season – his 11th team – he broke the record for the most teams played for previously held by Michel Petit and J.J. Daigneault.
Sillinger is currently tied with journeyman baseball pitcher Mike Morgan for the most teams played for in any North American professional sport.
