Is this correct? Pens first team to ice 3 Art Ross winners since expansion?

[66871]

When the Penguins ice Crosby, Malkin and Iginla, I'm pretty sure they will be the first team since the 61-62 Canadiens to ice three Art Ross winners. I think the closest it has come to happening since then is the Pens when they had Lemieux, Trottier and Jagr in the line-up. But Jagr hadn't won it yet.

Any other examples?

Bernie Geoffrion, Jean Beliveau and Dickie Moore all played together.

Glad you posted this because I failed to look at seasons after their first one together as AR winners. They also played together in 62-63. But I think that's it.

The other one I thought was interesting is the 79-80 Whalers with two winners both over the age of 40. Guessing that won't be seen again for a long time.

Lemieux , Jagr and Trottier were in Pittsburgh , but Jagr didn't win an art ross yet.

edit: oops , my fault for not reading OP.

But of course it's hard to find 3 art ross winner on the same team since expansion considering a good 20+ years period saw only three players win it in Jagr , Lemieux and Gretzky.

Pre Expansion

If we include future Art Ross winners then pre expansion you have, 1953-54 Canadiens Beliveau, Geoffrion, Moore and Elmer Lach which yields four. 1966-67 Chicago, Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita,Phil Esposito.

Pre Art Ross - 1942-43 Canadiens Toe Blake, Gordie Drillon, Elmer Lach.

Chicago came oh-so-close... trading Phil Esposito to Boston in the summer of 1967.

Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin, and ... Markus Naslund came 2nd. Dang.

Though the Sedins hadn't won it yet.
