Dean was somewhat of a rarity in the
pre-expansion NHL, in that he jumped directly to the NHL, with no
minor league experience. His 1378 games in the NHL rank 10th
All-Time.
He came to the Bruins in a big trade in February 1963. The
Bruins sent Don McKeeney and Dick Meissner to the Rangers to get
Dean. He contributed 23 goals in his first full season in Boston,
and missed much of the 64-65 season with a shoulder injury. He
couldn't but a goal in the 65-66 season, and in February of that
66 he found himself on his way to Detroit in exchange for Ron
Murphy.
