One of the most prolific defensive forwards in modern hockey, Jere Lehtinen was a three time winner of the Frank J. Selke Trophy and a runner up for the award once.  Lehtinen’s entire NHL career was spent with the Dallas Stars tallying 514 Points with a Plus/Minus of 176.  A vital part of the 1999 Stanley Cup win, Lehtinen was named an All Star the year previous.  Dallas retired his jersey in the 2017/18 season.

After three uneventful seasons with the Boston Bruins where he struggled to find playing time, Bill Goldsworthy first made heads turn in the 1967-68 post season where he led in Goals and Points.  Now a bona fide starter with the North Stars, Goldsworthy would net 30 or more Goals in six of seven seasons finishing as high as 48 in the 1973-74 campaign.  The four time All Star would become a fan favorite with his “Goldy Shuffle”, a celebration that he showcased after he scored a goal, essentially a precursor to the modern celebrations of today.

Brad McCrimmon was an underappreciated Defenceman in terms of his overall performance in the NHL.  While he played for seven NHL teams, he is (or at least should be) be best known for his time in Calgary where he helped the Flames win the Stanley Cup and was the NHL leader in Plus/Minus.  That year he was also named a Second Team All-Star.
