I expect MANY correct answers here, this is probably the easiest question here.

Rene Bourque is known much more for his time with Calgary Flames, and just recently got a hat trick in the Eastern Conference Finals for the Montreal Canadiens yet also did spend time with the Blackhawks. The real question would be, though, how much time did he spend? If it was a lot of time then he wouldn’t be the answer, since he’s a good goal scorer who wouldn’t be denied more than five goals.

Sergei Samsonov had a rough half season with the Hawks, that included him spending some time with the Rockford IceHogs. Samsonov played 13 NHL seasons, with the majority coming with the Boston Bruins. He wasn’t exactly a superstar, but played for a long time at a high level.

Robert Lang did what a few other players did in the late 2000’s, left the hated Detroit Red Wings for the Hawks. Lang played one season with the Hawks, and left to play two seasons elsewhere before calling it quits. He first played in the NHL in 1992-93, so he’s the kind of guy who might have nickled-and-dimed his way to 500 goals.

Finally, Peter Bondra played for 15 seasons with the high-powered Washington Capitals, a team that also featured Adam Oates and Jaromir Jagr. Bondra was voted the second greatest Capitals player of all time by fans, behind only goaltender Olaf Kolzig.
