183. Glen Harmon
Glen Harmon played all nine of his NHL seasons with the Montreal Canadiens where he assisted the Habs in winning the Stanley Cup in 1944 and 1946.  Harmon was a very efficient player who twice was named a Second Team All-Star but in terms of a modern look he more importantly led the league in Defensive Point Shares (1946 & 1949).  With all due respect to the fans of Montreal, arguably the best fanbase in the league, his legacy in Montreal is not as strong as it should be.
