115. Jim Neilson
Jim Neilson spent the majority of his career with the New York Rangers where he studied under the great Doug Harvey and mentored a young Brad Park. Part Cree, “Chief” was an underrated presence in the league but he did represent the Rangers twice in the All-Star Game and was named a Second Team All Star in the 1967-68 season. Neilson would finish in the top five in Norris Trophy balloting twice.
