Best Non-Big Four Offensive Season Since 1967 Expansion - #15

[DitchMarner]

Since the '67 expansion, what season is the 15th best offensive season by a non-Big Four (Gretzky, Lemieux, Orr, Howe) player?

People generally think of points scored when they think of "offense," but really, you can consider things like scoring chance generation, effective neutral zone transition game, effective forechecking that causes turnovers, good puck possession in the offensive zone to be part of a player's offensive game.

Things like back checking, defensive play and positioning, shot blocking, body checking to knock players off the puck outside of the attacking zone are irrelevant here. These are things to consider when voting in the best two-way seasons since 1967 polls series.

Id acutally vote for Jagr 99-00

42G 96P in only 63GP and still won the Art Ross. This in a very low 5.50 GPG avg

prorated = 55G 125P in 82GP

adjusted (today) = 62G 141P

Will include that season as an option for the next poll.

If it gets more support in this thread, I'll redo the poll (can't add it as an option now).

Three different 2024s before Crosby's 2014?

All three individuals were better than Crosby and his season against weak and injured competition.
