If you were to ask Art Ross after he first met Doug Bentley, he would have told you that both he and his brother Max would never have made the NHL let alone the Hockey Hall of Fame but Boston’s loss would become Chicago’s gain as the Bentleys were signed to the Blackhawks.
Granted, this list is supposed to focus only on accomplishments with the Chicago Blackhawks but when you are discussing an incredible talent and career like Chris Chelios some other components need to be mentioned.
When you are the brother of the Phil Esposito it is easy to stay in a shadow. While it didn’t hurt that Tony was a Goalie, there was no doubt that the younger Esposito carved his own career and when it was all said and done he wasn’t Phil’s younger brother.
