Great question. The things that are throwing me for a loop are the 50/50 split between AL and NL and the playoff slugging %. Sounds very much like a power speed guy who probably had quite a few 30/20 seasons. Which throws my Willie McGee guess out the window.

In the 1952-53 NHL season, Gump Worsley won the Calder Trophy as Rookie of the Year, Playing 50 full games in tandem with Chuck Rayner, (20 games), who was in his final season.
Worsley was returned to the minors, (Vancouver Canucks of the Western Hockey League), for all of the 1953-54 season, after requesting a $500 raise to his salary.
Another rookie goaltender replaced Worsley for the 1953-54 season, playing in all 70 games with a respectable 2.54 Goals Against Average and 5 Shutouts, but Worsley's replacement played in only seven NHL games during the following 4 seasons before playing regularly for the rest of his career, except for his final season.
Name the goalie who replaced Gump Worsley for 1953-54.
