Roy Conacher was already a two-time Stanley Cup Champion (with Boston) and a World War II veteran before he arrived at the Blackhawks in his early 30s, and while it would have been a reasonable assumption for most fans and pundits to think that his best seasons were behind him.  That wasn’t the case as he would still be a productive player and would put forth his best season in the 1948/49 campaign, where he was a First Team All Star, the Art Ross Trophy winner, and the leader in Power Play and Game-Winning Goals.  He would follow that up with two more 50 Point seasons.

There is no doubt that the NHL career of Bill Gadsby was more productive as a New York Ranger but to discount what he accomplished as a Chicago Blackhawk would be many levels of inappropriate.  As a Chicago Blackhawk, Bill Gadsby would be a two-time All Star as well as a two-time Second Team All Star.  He would score 186 Points for Chicago.

A two-time NCAA Champion at the University of Denver, Keith Magnuson would play his entire NHL career with the Chicago Blackhawks.  Magnuson was not a scorer, but he was a stay-at-home blueliner who used his physical presence to protect his side of the ice by any means necessary.  A two-time leader in Penalty Minutes, Magnuson would be an All-Star in 1971 & 1972, and he was the leader in Defensive Point Shares in his rookie year.
