Bobby Hull

The Blackhawks had a clear cut number one for a while in Hall of Fame left wing Bobby Hull. He had an absolutely amazing career and is not only one of the best players in Blackhawks history, but in the entire history of the NHL as well. He was truly a sensational player for the Blackhawks during his 15 years with them.

In his career, he won the Stanley Cup in 1961, the Art Ross trophy as the leagues leading scorer three times, the Lady Byng Trophy, and the Hart Trophy as the league MVP. This was also a player who was an all-star 12 times. He was clearly a highly decorated player for the Blackhawks.

During his 1063 game NHL career, he had 610 goals and 560 assists for 1170 points. He was able to collect all of those goals and assists by using his electrifying skating and a booming shot that was perhaps ahead of his time. He had the ability to get that puck off with a very high velocity. 604 of his 610 NHL goals came as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks, and that is a team record. The record is in no danger and should belong to Mr. Hull for a long time.

Bobby Hull is truly one of the greatest players in NHL History and absolutely deserves a spot on this list. All of these players are so great so it is hard to rank them with exact numbers, but Hull was easy to put near the top. He was an incredible player.
