This guy had an amazing career by the looks of things. I wasnt around when he was playing but his accomplishments are outstanding.
1978 1st overall draft pick
1978 set record for pts and assists in a season in ohl, both still stand today
1979 nhl rookie of the year
1986 stanley cup champion
career over 1000 pts (1036 pts in 1077 gp)
career high 114 pts in a season (81-82)
Yet for some reason he is completely forgotten in any talks about great players of the 80s. I myself knew very little about him untill he became coach of my hometown team (Halifax Mooseheads) and then looked into his career. I was shocked to find out that he had accomplished all of these things and I had barely heard of him. Can anyone help me understand why he is so forgotten?
