Pierre Pilote

Pilote may have initially been thought of as a punishing tough guy (which he certainly was), but he evolved into a solid playmaker, and actually was third in the league in Assists twice. He would win the Norris Trophy as the NHL’s top Defenceman and would five times be named to the First Team All Star squad. We’ll bet that nobody who saw Pilote in his first game would have predicted the star that he became!
