112. Steve Duchesne

A very potent offensive defenseman, Steve Duchesne went from undrafted to playing sixteen seasons in the National Hockey League.  That in itself was an impressive feat but Duchesne would be an NHL All-Star three times and would finish fifth in Norris Trophy voting twice.

Duchesne would score 50 points or more six seasons in a row (1987-88 to 1992-93) plus another one in the 1997-98 campaign.  He would tally 752 Points over his career.
