Jim Schoenfeld is likely best known for his coaching tenure (especially with that altercation with referee Don Koharski where he allegedly pushed him and called him a fat pig in the 1988 Conference Finals) but this was a pretty good player whose accomplishments were solid.

Schoenfeld’s best days were with the Buffalo Sabres where he was a two time All Star. His best season was the 1979-80 campaign where he was a Second Team All Star, the second runner-up for the Norris Trophy and was the NHL leader in Plus/Minus. Realistically though he never had a season near that good again.
