A more than solid Defenseman throughout his NHL career, Keith Brown was the seventh overall Draft Pick in 1979 and he would go on to play 876 Games in the league, 812 of them Chicago.  Brown was a good two way blueliner who would have two 40 Point seasons and had 465 Points total for Chicago.

Roy Conacher was already a two time Stanley Cup Champion (with Boston) and a World War II veteran before he arrived to the Blackhawks in his early 30’s and while it would have been a good assumption for most fans and pundits to think that his best seasons were behind him.  That wasn’t the case as he would still be a productive player and would put forth his best season in the 1948/49 campaign where he was a First Team All Star, the Art Ross Trophy winner and the leader in Power Play and Game-Winning Goals.  He would follow that up with two more 50 Point seasons.

There is no doubt that the NHL career of Bill Gadsby was more productive as a New York Ranger but to discount what he accomplished as a Chicago Blackhawk would be many levels of inappropriate.  As a Chicago Blackhawk, Bill Gadsby would be a two time All Star as well as a two time Second Team All Star.  He would score 186 Points for Chicago.

A two-time NCAA Champion at the University of Denver, Keith Magnuson would play his entire NHL career with the Chicago Blackhawks.  Magnuson was not a scorer but he was stay-at-home blueliner who used his physical presence to protect his side of the ice by any means necessary.  A two time leader in Penalty Minutes, Magnuson would be an All Star in 1971 & 1972 and he was the leader in Defensive Point Shares in his rookie year.
