Strange that Jean Beliveau and Guy Lafleur didn't even warrant an "Also in the running..." mention for Montreal. Arguably they both had better career stats than the Rocket.
Richard: 0.99 PPG, 1 Hart Trophy, 8 Stanley Cups
Beliveau: 1.08 PPG, 2 Hart Trophies, 1 Art Ross Trophy, 1 Conn Smythe Trophy, 10 Stanley Cups
Lafleur: 1.20 PPG, 2 Hart Trophies, 3 Art Ross Trophies, 1 Conn Smythe Trophy, 5 Stanley Cups
