Jacques Richard’s 1980-81 season makes no sense compared to the rest of his career.
Wasn't a bad player by any stretch. Had substance abuse problems.

Wow. That's one of the most extreme examples I've seen

I read up on him. He was thought to be the player he showed that season when drafted and put up some absurd point totals in juniors of about 2 per game, but he had discipline issues, after getting benched for a game, actually walked out on his team and went home missing practices before returning.Yeah, what is the story here? He never even had 20 goals before or after this season.
I wondered out loud about this on Page 9 of this thread only to go back and discover Post #2. Yeah suffice it to say Schultz is going to be hard to beat.Jeff Schultz +50 year.
Carey had multiple good seasons, so not quite the same.Jim Carey is the other one that comes to mind.
Juneau was too historically good over multiple seasons to fit the bull here. In his 102PT season he was god-tier but he had several other seasons clearly above noob level.Andrew Raycroft 2004
.926/2.05
Calder
5th in Vezina
Beyond that season he has a career SV% under .900 and career GAA over 3.00
edit: for a skater, depends on how you consider him as a player but Joe Juneau's rookie year (102 pts)
I was amazed this season to find that Matt Moulson still plays professionally in NA.Matt Moulson in 2011-12. Finished top 10 in goals that year thanks to Tavares.
Point of the thread.It wasn’t that good though. Anyone who watched him (besides George McPhee, maybe) could see that he had very little skill.
How about a new thread? Worst Coach who was once a Revered Player.Think he was on the Oates line.
And Leaf fans thought they’d trade him for a 1st+ Good Times.It wasn't even a very good season. He went to the All Star game by virtue of being a top six forward on an absolutely putrid roster.
Point of the thread.
PPG+ playoff run with Philly also. Few years later he was out of the league.Ville Leino has to be up there. 53 points in 81 games, basically a healthy scratch tweener every other season.
Wasn't a bad player but actually a very talented one. Just didn't have what it takes mentally.PPG+ playoff run with Philly also. Few years later he was out of the league.
