42. Gerard Gallant

Gerard Gallant played the first nine of his eleven NHL seasons with the Detroit Red Wings, where the Sixth Round Pick worked his way up to the main roster and into the top line.

Gallant, who was drafted in 1981, broke out in 1986-87, where the Left Wing had 72 Points. This began a four-year streak where he reached 70 Points, which included a career-high 93-Point year in 1988-89, where he was a Second Team All-Star.  Gallant would overall have 467 Points with Detroit.

Gallant would later be a successful Head Coach, taking the Vegas Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2018 and winning the Jack Adams Trophy as the NHL's best Coach.
