He tied for the league lead in scoring in 1980. So he was tied for 1st in points, but lost the Art Ross to Dionne due to the tiebreaker (more goals). I treated Lindros the same way - he was tied for 1st in points in 1995, but lost the Art Ross to Jagr.

Denis Potvin is there too with two top-10 finishes.
Ray Bourque and Brent Burns just barely missed the cut with their 9th and 11th spots as their two best placements in scoring.
