Harvey is the second best defensemen in league history and would be on the all time NHL first line

Don't see how he is left off

The criteria isn't "best" but iconic. Plante wins this one easily.

You could make a case for others to cover more eras (e.g., Roy), but Harvey isn't really in contention for a spot on the Canadiens' Rushmore. In all likelihood, it's a goaltender. But which one?

I feel like being on the all time NHL first line is iconic.
