Could have been but health Lindros
To me its a combination of offense, defense, leadership, game impact, consistency. the players in my list except for the goalies had strong all around games, were game changes, were incredibly consistent and in some way changed the game, oh and longivity and toughness outside of fighting.

Bobby Hull, Espo and Lafleur would be on my HM list. All with multiple Harts and Art Ross. And Richard like I said before.
The Islanders dynasty doesn't get the credit it deserves - maybe Potvin for a defenseman.
McDavid doesn't belong anywhere on a list like this yet. Maybe Messier should be somewhere in it.
