There's a very good claim to be made that Frank Nighbor is the best defensive forward of all-time. (or more like, best forward at the defensive side of the game)

When Morenz won MVP in 1928 he said Nighbor was the better player. And that was an older Nighbor. but both of German descent, he was obviously his hero. Morenz would rush and backcheck, Nighbor would lie in the weeds defensively and make breakout passes. Very different type players. Like McDavid vs a powered up Bergeron.
