Who doesn't make the list and why?

If Iginla doesn't make the list, then why does...
...Sundin make it? Slightly more, points, yeah, but he also played a lot in the early '90s, while Iginla played much of his career in the dead puck era. No Stanley Cup, was the captain of a Canadian team, won Olympic gold (once), HHOF, the freaking Mark Messier Leadership award, two end-of-season NHL all-star team selections (2 second).
Meanwhile, Iginla: fewer points in a tougher era, no Stanley Cup, was the captain of a Canadian team, won Olympic gold (twice), future HHOF, the Lester B. Pearson trophy, an Art Ross, two Rocket Richards, the King Clancy, the freaking Mark Messier Leadership award, four end-of-season NHL all-star team selections (3 first, 1 second)
Is it because Mats played in Toronto? Probably. But it's still stupid.
