NHL Journeymen

The nomads — players who wore the most distinct franchise crests across a career. The mirror image of the one-club men, ranked by number of franchises. Same canonical franchise index — a club's own era-codes collapse to one crest, so only genuinely different franchises count.

A journeyman's franchise count is the number of distinct canonical franchises the corpus attributes a season to (careerKeys-resolved — the same attribution the team pages, entity search, and the one-club board use, so a single club's multi-era codes collapse to one crest). Career span is first→last season across every stint. Minimum 3 franchises. Data: franchise-careers.json.
