103. Jean Guy Talbot

The Montreal Canadians are one of the most successful franchises in NHL history and Jean Guy Talbot is a significant part of that success.  Talbot was a member of seven Stanley Cup wins and would play in six All Star Games.  A somewhat forgotten member of those teams, Talbot was also a First Team All Star in 1961-62 and he finished third in Norris Trophy voting that year.   It is also very notable to us that Talbot would lead the National Hockey League twice in Defensive Point Shares.
