Tom Barrasso

No one burst onto the scene quite like Tom Barrasso did in 1983-84. The Buffalo Sabres knew they had a gem the second he manned the net, as Barrasso secured First Team All-Rookie and All-Star honors, won the Calder Trophy, and the Vezina. He also finished ninth for the Hart Trophy.

Barrasso was almost equally as effective during his second season. He earned Second Team All-Star honors, took eighth for the Hart, won the Jennings Trophy, and took second for the Vezina. And while he wasn’t as effective from there on out, he still contended for spots on the NHL All-Star Team and the Vezina, the latter of which he did routinely.

And while he never won a Stanley Cup with the Sabres, Barrasso did win a pair of them with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 1990s. He also rekindled some individual glory during the 1992-93 season, in which he earned Second Team All-Star honors and once again finished in second for the Vezina.
