One of the most versatile players in hockey history, Doug Mohns played both Left Wing and Defense when needed and, as such, earned a reputation as a solid two-way player.  Mohns arrived in Chicago via trade from the Boston Bruins, where he had already been a multi-time All-Star, and he would play more of an offensive role with the Blackhawks.  On a line with Stan Mikita, Mohns would have a 60 Point season (1966-67), which was good enough for tenth that season.  He would score 279 Points with Chicago.

Without a doubt, there was a slew of phenomenal players who emerged from the Soviet Union and the formidable Red Army.  One such great player is blueliner Alexi Kasatonov, who played for the elite national team throughout the 1980s, winning two Olympic Gold Medals (1984 & 1988), a Canada Cup Gold Medal (1981), and the World Hockey Championship five times.  Kasatonov was easily among the elite of Soviet Defenseman, and he was also a multi-time champion in the Soviet League with CSKA Moscow.  He would join the NHL at the age of 30, and although he was no longer a top player, he was still an All-Star in 1984.
