272. Wally Stanowski
A member of four Stanley Cup Championship teams for the Toronto Maple Leafs (1942, 1945, 1947 & 1948) Wally Stanowski was the runner-up for the Calder Trophy in 1940 and was a First Team All-Star the following season when he had a career high 21 Points.  Nicknamed the “Whirling Dervish” for his skating skills and aggressive play Stanowski was incredibly popular and probably would have had a more honored career had he not had to serve his country during World War II.  He would notably lead all skaters in Assists in the 1942 post season.
