There's some Canadiens - Lemaire and Henri Richard who I'd put behind Iginla.

There's also a bias against current players - only Crosby, Ovie, Kane and Keith (!) are on the list. Iggy was not yet retired at the time. I'd suggest Price is also similarly snubbed in favour of, say, Tony Esposito
Toews is also on that list, no? (Which is absurd).

I also don’t think Price has a spot on that list, but Iggy absolutely does.
