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.

143. Billy Boucher

From the famous Boucher hockey family (two of his brothers, Frank and George, are in the Hockey Hall of Fame), Billy Boucher was a very good player in his own right and won a Stanley Cup championship in 1924 with the Montreal Canadiens.  Bucher debuted in Montreal in the 1921/22 season as a rookie, where his 17 Goals placed him eighth that year, and he would post a career high of 23 the following season, where he was second overall in the NHL.  Boucher would finish in the top ten for the next two seasons, but his production would decline after that. Realistically, his career was four very good, bordering on excellent seasons, followed by mediocrity.

256. Dave Ellett

Dave Ellett averaged nearly half a point per game over his 1,129-game NHL career, most of which was spent with the Winnipeg Jets and the Toronto Maple Leafs.  Ellett, a two-time All-Star, was part of the Leafs' leadership contingent in the early 1990s, a Stanley Cup contender.
