Andy Bathgate

A trade to Toronto would net his first (and only) Stanley Cup, and though his knees started to decline shortly thereafter, he still played professional hockey for nearly another decade at a very respectable level; though he was unable to play full seasons. In this stage, he had no problem being a role player, which was not typical of former NHL superstars. Basically Andy Bathgate was ALWAYS team first. There just aren’t many players who you could say were as equally talented and classy as Andy Bathgate.
