207. Tom Lysiak

There was not a lot to cheer for if you were a fan of the Atlanta Flames, but the second place finisher for the Calder Trophy in 1973-74 gave you a reason to come out to the arena. 

As skilled Centre, Tom Lysiak played five and a half seasons with the Flames and scored 60 or more Points in all of them, including a pair of 80 Point campaigns.  Lysiak was traded to Chicago where he would again have an 80 Point year (1981-82) but it was when he tripped a Linesman (still debated whether it was on purpose or not) and was suspended for 20 Games in which he will mostly remembered for.
