Glenn Anderson Glenn Christopher " Andy " Anderson ( born October 2 , 1960 ) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey right winger in the National Hockey League ( NHL ) who played for the Edmonton Oilers , Toronto Maple Leafs , New York Rangers , and St . Louis Blues . Anderson was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on November 10 , 2008 . Playing career . Anderson played for the Burnaby Winter Club and then University of Denver in the NCAA for a year before joining the Canadian National Team in 1979 – 80 , helping to represent Canada at the 1980 Winter Olympics . He also played with the Seattle Breakers in the WHL that season . The Oilers drafted him in the fourth round of the 1979 NHL Entry Draft , 69th overall . He joined the Oilers roster in the 1980 – 81 season . Anderson played 10 full seasons with the Oilers , from the 1980 – 81 to 1990 – 91 season inclusive . He would later briefly return in 1995 – 96 to play with the Oilers . He won 5 cups with Edmonton in the years 1984 , 1985 , 1987 , 1988 , and 1990 . In his final season with the Oilers , during game seven of the playoff series against the Calgary Flames ( April 17 , 1991 ) , Glenn Anderson was lined up against the boards by Theoren Fleury . Anderson ducked just as he was about to be hit , resulting in a dislocated shoulder for Fleury . On September 19 , 1991 Anderson was traded ( with Grant Fuhr ) to the Toronto Maple Leafs , where he played two seasons and part of another . There , he reached the 1000th point plateau and played a key role in the Leafs ' 1993 playoff run to the Conference Finals . The Leafs traded Anderson to the Rangers ( for Mike Gartner ) just in time for their 1994 Stanley Cup win . Although Anderson played the 1994 – 95 with the St . Louis Blues and the 1995 – 96 season split with the Oilers and the Blues , he did not play much in the NHL after his time winning the 1994 Stanley Cup ( his 6th Cup ) with the Rangers , playing only another 68 regular season and 17 playoff games split over those two seasons ( he also played part of 1994 – 95 with the European hockey teams Lukko Rauma of the FNL and with the Augsburger Panther of the DEL in 1994 – 95 and 1995 – 96 ) . He was also , briefly , a Vancouver Canuck , but never played with them as upon signing with them as a free agent in January 1996 after coming back from playing with the Augsburger Panther he had to clear waivers , and the Oilers claimed him . ( At the time , it was assumed this was long - awaited revenge for the Canucks having claimed Colin Campbell from waivers off the Oilers in the early 1980s . Then - GM Glen Sather is reputed to have never forgotten that incident , as he felt that the Canucks had agreed to not claim Campbell . ) Due to the Oilers grabbing him from waivers , Anderson was reluctant on his return stint in Edmonton , as the team was no longer the same team he had won Stanley Cups with . Sather had hoped that Anderson could guide the then young , rebuilding Oilers with his leadership and experience , while also hoping to see Anderson hit his expected career milestones of 500 goals and 600 assists as an Oiler ( he would not hit 500 goals but did get the 600 assists milestone but not as an Oiler ) . In 17 games on his return to the Oilers , he still managed 10 points ( 4 goals , 6 assists ) before being claimed on waivers by the St . Louis Blues from the Edmonton Oilers ( Anderson requested Sather to let him go if near the trade deadline that the Oilers were not playoff bound ) , for another stint with the Blues ( 15 games , 2 goals , 2 assists , 4 points ) where he finished off the remainder of the 1995 – 96 season . In the 1996 playoffs , Anderson played 11 games producing 5 points ( 1 goal , 4 assists ) in his final post - season in the NHL . Anderson was noted for his aggressive " to the net " playing style , typifying the NHL power forward in the early 1980s . As an NHL player , he scored 498 goals and 601 assists in 1129 regular season games , and added another 93 goals and 121 assists in 225 playoff games . Noted as a " clutch " player , he was able to score key goals when the team most needed them . He scored 5 playoff overtime goals , third only to Joe Sakic ' s 8 and Maurice Richard ' s 6 . On top of that he had 17 playoff game winning goals , good for fifth in the all time history of the NHL . On June 17 , 2008 , it was announced that Anderson would be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as a player . For the Rangers , it marked the second straight year that a member of their 1994 Stanley Cup winning team had been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame , following Mark Messier in 2007 . His jersey number was retired on January 18 , 2009 before the game between the Edmonton Oilers and the Phoenix Coyotes He had the largest alumni turnout since the Heritage Classic for his jersey retirement . Anderson continues to play for the NHL Alumni Legends of Hockey . Awards and achievements . Glenn Anderson won 5 Stanley Cups with the Oilers and another with the Rangers . He represented Canada at the 1980 Olympic Games , as well as twice at the World Championships and twice at the Canada Cup .
