Has any player ever lead the league in both Goals and Assists in separate seasons without ever leading the league in Points?

I have been wondering if there has ever been an NHL player to lead the league in both Goals and Assists in separate seasons without ever leading the league in Points? My initial thought was Marcel Dionne but as it turned out, he has an Art Ross Trophy but never was the league leader in Goals or Assists which was shocking. Help, Please!

It is will be a very rare combo, Beliveau as the single art ross while leading the league in goals 2 times and in assists 2 times.

I think the list of leading in goals a season and in assits a season is limited and they alll have at least an art ross

McDavid, Drai, Crosby, Lemieux, Gretzky, Lafleur, Esposito, Beliveau, Moor, Lindsay, Howe, Bentley, Morenz, Lalonde, Denneny

EDITED to add a few more I found.
Do you know of any players other than Dionne, Lindros, Jamie Benn, Daniel Sedin and Patrick Kane to lead the league in Points but never in Goals or Assists? I was not expecting to find that out while looking but that seems like a more regular occurrence.

Nice Assist on the older guys, I didn't know enough about them. Can you believe Joe Sakic, Doug Gilmour, Dale Hawerchuk, Luc Robitaille, Mike Modano, Johnny Bucyk, Brendan Shanahan, Mats Sundin, Dave Andreychuk and Denis Savard are Top 30 All-Time in Points for Forwards but never led the league in Goals, Assists or Points?

Messier is 3rd all time in points and never led in goals, assists, or points.

I didn't even consider looking at him when I was trying to find other guys to edit the post. I just assumed he would have, WOW!

There is a large window where Gretzky-Lemieux-Jagr took a lot of the leading board away.

Lots of the name you listed had either really good longevity, played against those 3 a lot and/or played a large portion of their career from 1975 to 1994, an high scoring era.

Richard having never won the Ross after the 1956 season while being the all-time points leader by a lot, those things happen, missing a couple of games some season, having a great having strong year at the same time as you (like Sakic loosing the Ross in 2001)

Savard 86 assist in 1983 was an healthy separation with everyone in the league, that more than one assist per game, but when Gretzky is scoring 125 of them... you are just out of luck.

131 pts in 1988 could have been enough, not with Gretzky-Lemieux playing more than 60 games.
