I Can’t Stop Loving You

Troy Murray would win the Frank J. Selke Trophy in 1985/86, and as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks, he would receive votes for that award in seven other seasons.  Murray was never named an All-Star in his career, but he was a very good two-way player who had a 99 Point season in the year he won the Selke.  As a Blackhawk, he would score 488 Points, a good number by any metric.

Al Secord arrived in Chicago after essentially being given up on by the Boston Bruins, and the change of scenery certainly proved to be fruitful for the Left Wing.

Prior to making his National Hockey League debut, Bill Hay was traded from the Montreal Canadiens for Cash, who would watch their former farmhand win the Calder Trophy in 1960 and assist the Blackhawks win the 1961 Stanley Cup.  Hay was a solid playmaker whose 386 Points (all with Chicago) were Assists and he was the leader in Assists per Game in the 1961/62 season.  Hay would play eight seasons in the NHL and would retire shortly after being claimed by the St. Louis Blues in the Expansion Draft.
