80. Mike Liut
A very good goalie that lost out on the Hart trophy to Wayne Gretzky in 1981, Mike Liut seemed destined for a stellar career after his amazing 1980-81 season. That year he won the Lester B. Pearson award (MVP as selected by their peers) and would be the starting goalie for the 1981 Canada Cup Canadian contingent. Liut’s career tapered off and he was unable to keep up the prediction that so many made about him in the early 80’s. Still, he racked up 294 career NHL wins and was one of the top net minders of the 1980’s.
