40. Joe Thornton

Joe Thornton may have had a less than amicable departure from the Boston Bruins, but the fact was that the former Bruins captain first developed his NHL scoring touch as a member of the Bruins.  Thornton was a Second Team All-Star in the 2002/03 season, and incidentally, in the campaign he was traded in, he would win the scoring title and the Hart Trophy.

Thornton entered the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2025.

44. Milan Lucic

Milan Lucic was a major component of the Boston Bruins' Stanley Cup Championship win in 2011 and was a dependable two-way player for the Bruins during his eight years there, scoring 344 points in 570 Games.

42. Ed Sandford

Ed Sandford was known for two things.  The first was his incredible tenacity to go for every puck.  The second was how he was on fire during the 1953 NHL Playoffs and was the leading scorer, though Boston would fall short in the Finals.  Sandford was named a Second Team All-Star in 1954 and would be an All-Star Game participant five years in a row.
