Known in Vancouver as "the one that got away", Neely left the Canucks after three seasons in a deal that sent him to Boston. He became a Bruins mainstay, delivering several tremendous seasons and establishing himself as the prototypical "power forward" in the NHL. Knee injuries and a degenerative hip condition limited Neely's career to just 13 seasons, but his goals-per-game average remains one of the ten best in the history of the NHL. Neely was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2005.
