Era is early to mid-80's, and he had a somewhat famous nickname based on time spent with another team than the Leafs...

Good guesses so far, but all incorrect. Before joining the Leafs he played with the Red Wings.

Tough one leafsnation, tough one... There's Dan Maloney and Jim Korn that fit the teams and era, but AFAIK they didn't look like this guy.

Walt McKechnie?

This is about 30 years ago, this guy earned a cool nickname at MTL and even though I never saw him play he is one ( of the few ) MTL players I like. Don't quote my message or you will see the answer. :-p

If I recall correctly, it's Mario Tremblay who used to say because this guy was small that he was half of a player, and the second half would be shipped at a later time. :)

Played 106 games in 11 seasons in NHL with Blackhaws, Sharks and Coyotes. Was a first round pick by Blackhawks (8th overall pick). Never made as a starter in NHL.

Picked him for this guessing round 'cause when I was little boy and collected Hockey cards and got his card from somewhere :-D

Haha! It's just that I've been a little boy collecting hockey cards in the same years as you, visibly ;) I had many Waite cards and he had played his junior hockey in Chicoutimi, which is close to where I hail from. It was easy for me, but maybe not for everyone :)

Next one from the same era:
