Pit Martin is remembered by many for being at the wrong end of a lopsided trade that sent Phil Esposito, Ken Hodge, and Fred Stanfield to the Boston Bruins and created a Stanley Cup Championship team, but Martin was a very highly regarded player in his own right.  Martin would represent the Chicago Blackhawks in the All-Star Game four times, and he secured six 60 Point seasons.  Overall, he would score 809 Points in the National Hockey League.
