47. Mike O'Connell

Mike O’Connell was undersized, but he never lacked heart.  O’Connell would become an All Star in 1984 and a power play staple and would become a very complete player in the six years he was playing for the Boston Bruins.

46. Fred Stanfield

Part of that lopsided trade that brought in Phil Esposito and Ken Hodge, Fred Stanfield was a good forward who assisted the Bruins in winning the 1970 and 1972.  While Stanfield was considered a throw-in on that trade, and was often overshadowed in Boston, he was a consistent scorer who had three seasons in a row over 75 Points.

49. Marc Savard

While Marc Savard was not on the ice during the 2011 Stanley Cup Championship run, his name was etched on the cup as he was one of the men who helped get them there.

45. Barry Pederson

Sadly for Barry Pederson he is mostly known for being traded (with his messed up shoulder) for Cam Neely who would become one of the most popular players in Boston Bruins history.  What is forgotten is that Pederson had two consecutive 100 Point seasons for Boston, finishing in the top six in scoring both seasons and he had a 1.10 Points per Game Average there.  His messed up shoulder took him out of All Star status, but he was very good for a spell as a Bruin.  It is a shame that he is not remembered for that more.
