212. Steve Vickers

Winning the Calder Trophy in 1973, Steve Vickers would play his entire career with the New York Rangers.  Vickers would have three 30 Goal Seasons, his best being a 41 Goal campaign where he finished ninth overall and was named a Second Team All-Star.  The Right Wing would play in two All-Star Games (1975 & 1976), and he would also be known for the effectiveness of his shot selection.  Vickers would lead the NHL in Shooting Percentage in 1979/80, and he would finish in the top six three other times.

211. Martin Straka

Martin Straka, from the Czech Republic, had a long career in the NHL.  Straka had a pair of 80 Point Seasons for the Pittsburgh Penguins and two 70 Point Seasons for the New York Rangers over his career, and he would tabulate 717 Points overall in his career.  Straka was named an All-Star in 1999, and while he never won a Stanley Cup, he did win an Olympic Gold Medal with the Czech Republic in 1998.

222. Marc Savard

A two-time All-Star in consecutive seasons (2008 & 2009), Marc Savard quietly put forth a career where he accumulated 706 Points with 499 of them coming by way of Assists.  Savard began his career with the New York Rangers, the Calgary Flames, and the Atlanta Thrashers, and in those nine years, he never played in the postseason. However, in his last season in Atlanta, he set a career high with 97 points, finishing ninth in Points and third in Assists.

173. Carson Cooper

Carson Cooper would silently be a force in the National Hockey League, where he would rarely be penalized and prove himself as a productive offensive force.  In his second season in the NHL, he was Point per Game player with 36 Points with the Boston Bruins and would put the puck in the net a career high 28 times, which ranked him second that year.  He would not hit that again, but after he joined Detroit, he had three 15 Goal seasons, and in the 1928/29 campaign, he led all skaters in Game-Winning Goals.
