Before he played his first game for the Montreal Canadiens, Bobby Rousseau was a member of the Canadian Team that won the Silver Medal at the 1960 Olympics.  Rousseau was one of the main stars of that team, and he would parlay that success into a very good career in the NHL.

A three-time NHL All-Star and one-time Canada Cup player for the United States, Reed Larson had eight seasons where he had at least 60 Points.  Larson was never an All-Star, though the Calder Trophy runner-up had more than a good career in the National Hockey League.  Historically, Larson was the first American-born blueliner to score 200 Goals in the NHL.

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.

Mats Naslund was a star with the Montreal Canadiens throughout the 1980s, and while Patrick Roy received the bulk of the Habs' offensive credit for the shocking Stanley Cup win in 1986, it was Naslund who was the offensive star of the team.  The Swedish star was a Second Team All-Star and a Lady Byng Trophy winner. Internationally, he represented his country multiple times, including winning an Olympic Gold Medal in 1994.  Had Naslund played longer in the NHL (which he could have, but he elected to play in Europe instead), he might be ranked a little higher.
