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 was twice 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.
