Joe Thornton may have had a less than amicable departure from the Boston Bruins, but the fact was that the former Bruins captain first developed his NHL scoring touch as a member of the Bruins.  Thornton was a Second Team All Star in the 2002/03 season and incidentally in the campaign he was traded in, he would win the scoring title and the Hart Trophy.

Milan Lucic was a major component of the Boston Bruins Stanley Cup Championship win in 2011 and was a dependable two-way player for the Bruins in the eight years he spent there.

Ed Sandford was known for two things.  The first was his incredible tenacity to go for every puck.  The second was how he was on fire during the 1953 NHL Playoffs and was the leading scorer though Boston would fall short in the Finals.  Sandford was named a Second Team All-Star 1954 and would be an All-Star Game participant five years in a row.

An important part of the Boston Bruins Stanley Cup Championship run of 2012, Czech forward, David Krejci brought an impressive workmanlike attitude to the game and led the National Hockey League in Plus/Minus twice, becoming one of the few players to ever do so.  A very good two-way player, Krejci also knows how to light the lamp and would score the most Points in the Stanley Cup Playoffs twice.  

Krejci would play 15 seasons before he returned to his native Czech Republic to play for HC Olomouc, but that lasted one season befre he returned for one last campaigm in Boston.  Overall, he had. a productive 786 Points in 1,032 Games.
