Art Chapman is easily forgotten by many as his greatest exploits took place for the New York Americans, a team that has not existed in close to a century; however, this is a two-time assists leader who, in the mid-1930s, was in the upper echelon of playmaking ability. Chapman would also finish fourth in Lady Byng Trophy balloting twice (1935 & 1936).
