Details
Bob Nevin would not see regular action in the National Hockey League until the 1960-61 season with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He played just two games with the Buds in 1959-60 while spending the rest of his time in the AHL with the Rochester Americans. With the Amerks, Nevin’s 32 goals placed him seventh in the league while he was tenth overall with 74 points. Bob helped Rochester reach the Calder Cup final before bowing out to the Springfield Indians.

Over his career, Nevin topped the 20 goal plateau eight times. He reached a career high 31 goals on two occasions. The first was with the New York Rangers in 1968-69 and the second was with the Los Angeles Kings in 1974-75.
