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.
