131. Ron Ellis

Ron Ellis spent his entire professional career with the Toronto Maple Leafs, where, as one of the team's young guns, he helped the Buds win the 1967 Stanley Cup.  Before that, Ellis established himself as the runner-up to the Calder Trophy in the 1964-65 season, and he was known in Toronto and throughout the NHL for his back-checking and excellent two-way play. He could score when needed, as shown by his nine 20 Goal seasons and 640 Points.  The Right Winger would also represent Canada in their iconic 1972 Summit Series against the Soviet Union.

179. Kenny Wharram

Kenny Wharram played his entire career with the Chicago Blackhawks, where he helped them win the Stanley Cup in 1961.  Wharram would have four 65 Point seasons and two of which would see him nab a First Team All-Star nod.  His best season took place in 1963-64, when he won the Lady Byng, earned his first First Team All-Star selection, and was the top finisher in Power Play Goals and Shooting Percentage. His 39 Goals allowed him a second-place finish overall.

137. Dave Babych

A Defenceman with significant offensive skill, Dave Babych had five consecutive seasons where he accumulated 55 Points or more.  Babych was with the Winnipeg Jets for the first of those four seasons, and the fifth would see him traded mid-way through to the Hartford Whalers.  That year, he finished sixth in Norris Trophy voting.  The two-time All-Star would finish his career with 723 career Points.

188. Fredrik Olausson

Swedish blueliner Fredrik Olausson proved to be excellent on the offensive rush, especially on the power play, throughout his career.  A Winnipeg Jet for the first eight seasons of his NHL career, Olausson would reach 50 Points four times and would hit that mark much later in his career with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, where he finished ninth in Norris Trophy voting.  He would also win a Stanley Cup with the Red Wings in 2002.  He also represented Sweden internationally on many occasions.
