If the numbers I'm looking at are correct, John Tucker 0.66 regular season to 0.90 playoffs
There is probably going to be some random players in this thread.

Barry Pederson somewhat famously has the third highest playoff PPG (~1.5) for players with over 50 games played. He ended up scoring less than a PPG over his regular season career.
One thing to remember though, a guy like Messier also has a significantly high Playoff PPG than Reg. season, but a big reason for that is he missed the playoffs 7 years in a row at the tail of his career. That obviously causes his reg. PPG fall without touching his Playoff PPG. To me, a guy like Beliveau keeping his playoff PPG ever so slightly higher than his regular season PPG is more impressive, as he played in the playoffs every year save one in his career.

While you are right, I think both Messier and Leetch were still members of this exclusive club before their ugly habit of missing the playoffs came about.
