gold star for USAHOF

114. Garry Galley

Garry Galley may not leap off the page as someone who had a really good career in the NHL, but this was a player who had an even 600 Points, an excellent number for a blueliner.  Galley was a two-time All-Star who played well over 1,100 Games professionally.  The blueliner’s overall two-way play and underrated stature earn him a place on this list.

256. Dave Ellett

Dave Ellett averaged nearly half a point per game over his 1,129-game NHL career, most of which was spent with the Winnipeg Jets and the Toronto Maple Leafs.  Ellett, a two-time All-Star, was part of the Leafs' leadership contingent in the early 1990s, a Stanley Cup contender.

93. Mike Liut

A very good goalie that lost out on the Hart trophy to Wayne Gretzky in 1981, Mike Liut seemed destined for a stellar career after his impressive 1980-81 season. That year, he won the Lester B. Pearson award (MVP as selected by their peers) and would be the starting goalie for the 1981 Canada Cup Canadian contingent. Liut’s career tapered off, and he was unable to keep up the prediction that so many made about him in the early 80s. Still, he racked up 294 career NHL wins and was one of the top netminders of the 1980s.
