An All-Star four times over his career, Bob Nevin provided solid two-way hockey in his 1,100-plus games in the NHL. After helping the Toronto Maple Leafs win two Stanley Cups in 1961 and 1962, he was traded to the New York Rangers, where he would accrue five 20 Goal seasons, though it was late in his career, at the age of 36, with the Los Angeles Kings that he would have his best year. Nevin scored 72 Points (a career high) and finished ninth in Hart Trophy voting.
