1962 - Bobby Rousseau
Rousseau recorded just three points in 15 games during his inaugural NHL season, but a lack of games allowed him to be eligible for the Calder the following season. He exploded for 21 goals and 24 assists, an impressive mark for a rookie.
Rousseau nearly won an Art Ross Trophy in 1965-66, finishing in second to Stan Mikita with 78 points. He won four Stanley Cups and attended three All-Star Games, but the Canadiens traded him to the Minnesota North Stars in 1970.
Rousseau played five more seasons, finishing with 703 points in 942 games.
