253. Dave Kerr
Dave Kerr began his National Hockey League career with the Montreal Maroons and the New York Americans, and later returned to the Maroons, but was traded by the cash-strapped team to the New York Rangers, where he would become one of the top Goalies in the last half of the 1930s and early 40s. Kerr was named a Second Team All-Star in 1938, and in 1940, he had his best year, earning First Team All-Star honors, the Vezina Trophy, and leading the Rangers to the Stanley Cup Championship.
