252. Bert Corbeau
A member of the Montreal Canadiens 1916 Stanley Cup Championship team when it was won when they were in the National Hockey Association, Bert Corbeau would have a few distinct firsts in the NHL.  Corbeau was the first player to play for both the Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs, the first season leader in Defensive Point Shares and the first player to have 100 Penalty Minutes in a season.  Corbeau would have three seasons with 10 Goals, which is an excellent metric for a blueliner in that era.
