I feel like Ciccarelli probably doesn't get enough respect because he was small. There's a thing in hockey where small guys can't get no respect. You can out-produce a player twice your size for 15 years in a row, but the other guy will get more credit. It's weird, but that's how it is.
Anyway, Ciccarelli ranked 4th in GPG during the 80s among right-wingers (min. five seasons), which, like center, is a deep position (he also ranks 4th or 5th, depending on criteria, for total goals and points in the 80s).
For the fifteen (and a bit) seasons he played from late in 1980-81 through 1995-96, Dino is 2nd in goals by right-wingers to Mike Gartner.
As an NHL rookie (only 32 games' experience!), he went to the Finals, scoring 14 goals and 21 points! 73 playoff goals is pretty impressive for a guy who never won the Cup and went to the Finals once.
