Clark Gillies
He was the baddest man in the league; despite being the best fighter in the league (despite his Behn Wilson record), he never accrued over 100 PIM in any season. He had three 30+ goal seasons prior to Bossy's arrival.
He was the best power forward in the league from 76-83. Created space for that line. To boot, he basically ended Dave Schultz run as "most feared man in league".
As mentioned above, if the likes of Carbonneau and Federko (who I really, really liked) are in, Gillies goes in ahead of both of them.
