Viacheslav Fetisov did not enter the National Hockey League until he was 30, but the Soviet Defenseman was considered one of the best of the decade of the 80s, anchoring the U.S.S.R. to multiple World Championships and Olympic medals.  When he finally made it to North America, he was with the team that drafted him, New Jersey, before he was traded early in the 1994-95 Season to Detroit.
