Mickey Redmond was a member of two Stanley Cup-winning teams in Montreal, but he was dealt to Detroit for Frank Mahovlich in January of 1971.  This marked the end of Redmond's era of playoff participation, but as a Red Wing, he achieved his greatest individual success.

After six quality years in Boston, Marty Barry was traded to Detroit in 1935, where he played for four years, arguably the period during which he achieved his greatest success.

Bill Quackenbush was an excellent two-way Defenseman for his time, and he played the first half of his career as a Detroit Red Wing.

The son of former Hamilton Tiger and New York American Leo Reise, Leo Reise Jr. had a more successful career than his father, which speaks volumes.
