20. Frank Mahovlich
One of the frontrunners of the 1960s and 1970s, Mahovlich played in 15 All-Star games and had 6 Cup championships under his belt. Before the 1962 All-Star game, Chicago owner Big Jim Norris and Leafs owner Harold Ballard were drinking at a bar when Norris asked if he could have Mahovlich for $1 million. Ballard accepted initially, but the next day, return the $1,000 Norris had given him the previous night as a “down payment.”
