Luc Robitaille saw a 38 point reduction after he signed with Detroit in 2001
2000-01 - 82 games, 88 points in LA
2001-02- 81 games, 50 points in Detroit
InjuryYou could add Guy Lafleur to the list as he scored 125 pts in 74 games in 79-80 and then dropped to 70 pts in 51 games in 80-81.

Bernie Nicholls had sharp declines for two consecutive seasons.
1988-89- 79 games and 150 points in LA
1989-90- 79 games and 112 points split between LA and the Rangers - 38 point decline
1990-91- 71 games and 73 points in New York - 39 point decline
That's right. His ice-time dropped by 20% in Detroit, and I would expect his PP ice-time by 50% or something.Robitaille's drop doesn't surprise me as he went from being arguably the top offensive guy on the team to a juggernaut where he was the 4th or 5th offensive option.
I set a threshold of 70 games for both seasons. My reasoning was this would exclude examples where a player missed a lot of time. But obviously it excluded some legitimate seasons that probably should have been included (in your example, Orr went from 67 to 76 games - Staniowski had a good example as well, where Trottier played 68 games both years).
Maybe setting the parameter so that the games played should be within, say, 15% of the prior year would be more useful (but that's also a harder query to run).
One significant increase in points I’ve seen is Neal Broten. Had 56 points in 80 games in ‘85, then jumped to 105 in 80 games in ‘86. A 49 point increase.
Not the biggest drop offs.....
Sakic went fron 118 points in ‘01 to 79 in ‘02, both in 82 games. A 39 point drop off.
Robitaille went from 125 points in 84 games in ‘93 to 86 points in 83 games in ‘94. A 39 point drop off
Bobby Smith went from 114 points in 80 games in ‘82 to 77 points in 77 games in ‘83. A 37 point drop off.
Mogilny went from 107 points in 79 games in ‘96 to 73 points in 76 games in ‘97. A 34 point drop off. Although He only played 66 games in ‘94, he had 79 points. Compared to in ‘93 when he had 127 points, that’s a 48 point difference.
Are there any defensemen who had huge dropoffs not due to injury and such...?
I know the Kings sucked that year, with Sandstrom and Robitaille gone and Blake only playing half the (short) season, but I've never really understood why Gretzky was so unproductive that season. I get it in 1995-96 (when he started off hot and then, as the team crapped out, basically stopped trying while waiting to be traded), but in 1995 I don't. Especially his 37 assists in 48 games is shockingly low. Not to mention his goal-scoring completely dried up. He'd been essentially a 40-goal scorer the year before, but then to suddenly get 11 goals in 48 games...?What about Gretzky in ‘95? I know it was a shortened season but to go from 130 points the previous year with an Art Ross to 48 in 48.
