Have you ever played The Jersey Game?

Here, we’ll start: Teemu Selanne.

Think of him in an NHL jersey. Do you see him flying around the ice as a Winnipeg Jet? Do you see him as a Mighty Duck of Anaheim, or an Anaheim Duck? What about a San Jose Shark? Are there actually people who see him as a member of the Colorado Avalanche?

Fact is, we see players in a certain jersey when they immediately pop into our minds. Anything else is … well, awkward.

The 2013 NHL trade deadline saw several players associated with a particular team move to a new city. Which ones made a natural transition, and which ones made it weird?

Here’s a gallery of NHL faces in new places; in the descriptions, we rate them on the awesome scale:

And here we go ...

Jussi Jokinen, Pittsburgh Penguins

AWKWARD RATING: 4

It was more awkward seeing Jokinen skate in place of Sidney Crosby than it was seeing him wearing the black and gold.

Jay Bouwmeester, St. Louis Blues

AWKWARD RATING: 8

Seeing J-Bouw in something other than a Flames or Panthers jersey is jarring. Even more jarring: That he might be wearing the jersey of a playoff team for the first time in his career.

Jarome Iginla, Pittsburgh Penguins

AWKWARD RATING: 10

Does. Not. Compute. Even more awkward: We all saw him in a Bruins jersey first.

Robyn Regehr, Los Angeles Kings

AWKWARD RATING: 5

He's not the first veteran defenseman to don the black and white. And hey, it's a reunion with Darryl Sutter! That's not awkward.
