Darryl Sydor was never going to be considered the top blueliner for your team, but for years, he was an upper-echelon player for multiple National Hockey League teams.  Sydor was a two-time All-Star and assisted two teams (Dallas & Tampa Bay) to win the Stanley Cup.  Over a career that spanned 1,291 Games and twenty seasons, he had 507 Points, a more than respectable number.

While Dennis Hull is thought of by some as Bobby’s brother or Brett’s uncle, we choose to remember him as a pretty good two-way hockey player who represented the Chicago Blackhawks five times in the All-Star Game.  Hull was a Second Team All-Star in 1973, a year after he represented Canada in the Summit Series against the Soviet Union.  He scored 654 Points overall in his career.

From the Soviet Union, Vladimir Krutov was one of the superstars of the Red Army team that terrorized International Hockey throughout the 1980s.  The Left Wing was a superstar for the Soviets as he helped his country win two Olympic Golds, a Canada Dup Gold, and five World Hockey Championships.  Krutov would later play for the Vancouver Canucks for one season in the NHL.

The younger brother of Hockey Hall of Famer Tiny Thompson, Paul Thompson was a star player in his own right.  Three times Thompson would hoist the Stanley Cup, and he would be named to two post-season NHL All-Star Teams.  Thompson’s best seasons as a player were with the Chicago Blackhawks, where he would serve as the team’s Head Coach for seven years.
