I was surprised to learn that the Habs only have 4 players in their long history to ever accomplish 100 points.
1Guy Lafleur251976-77136
2Guy Lafleur261977-78132
3Guy Lafleur271978-79129
4Guy Lafleur241975-76125
5Guy Lafleur281979-80125
6Guy Lafleur231974-75119
7Pete Mahovlich281974-75117
8Mats Näslund261985-86110
9Steve Shutt241976-77105
10Pete Mahovlich291975-76105


Amazing to see how dominant Lafleur was with the top 6 entries and he likely led to Shutt and Mahovlich making the list as well. Le Petit Viking was the only guy to do it independent of Lafleur.
Also interesting to see we won a cup every time (except 1980) we had a 100 point player.

We have treated the amateur scouting/ development part of the organization so poorly over the last 30 years. It’s incredible how we have been so inept at drafting/developing scoring forwards.

Crazy when you think that Shutt and Mahovlich dont get 100 points without Lafleur, But Lafleur gets 100 point regardless.

I would like to know how many players reached 100 points since the last Montreal Canadiens player to do it.

Since the 86-87 season there has been 159 - 100 (or more) point seasons achieved by 73 players.

I looked at the 1st round picks from the Habs every year from 1981 to now and my jaw hit the floor. The ineptitude of this organization to barely even get fringe NHLers with first round picks is just staggering. Makes me feel like Slavkoski will fizzle into obscurity.

We have been the most offensively challenged team in the past 30 years. Complete lack of talent every single year.

If we are lucky enough, Bedard will be the next to do it.

In 1947 Frank Selke Sr took over as GM of Habs despite the team having won back-to-back Cups w offensive flair, and went on to rebuild the org over next 7-seasons when they didn’t win any - he mandated the 200-ft game for all Habs forwards.

Habs went on to win 16-Cups over next-32 years. Pollock who Selke hired as scout away from being a baseball coach in NDG maintained the same 200ft game policy when named GM - the same policy which kept Lafleur from getting 1st line TOI under Scotty due to his lack of defensive awareness his first 3-seasons as a Hab

“Lack of talent” has been a factor… but even talented forwards were expected to focus on defensive deficiencies (Richer) vs exploiting their offensive gifts…been that was since 1947, except 75-years ago there were only 6-teams in the league, and Habs budget & willingness to pay players more than competition was greater than every other NHL org.

No one will beat Jean Perron ; one cup in 2-3 seasons as head coach. The best of the best !!!

If Roy and Price had more offense to support them we’d have won multiple more cups. Insane that we went 25 years without having a top five pick and when it did come it was because of a one time lottery.

Love what the new regime is doing. Rebuilding from the ground up, trading for first rounders, playing younger players. They haven’t been perfect but they’ve done a lot of things right.

What it says the most to me is that Habs fans waited and suffered long enough, we deserve a franchise player like Bedard

There's been a few players right on the cusp of 100 points since naslund.... Guys like Muller, damphousse, and Turgeon.

But even those guys are from the 90s.... There's been nobody even close since the mid 90s.

It may be a while until we see another 100 point player. But I think CC has 50 goal man written all over him. He’ll get there at some point.
 
I would be OK with 4 PPG players instead. having 4 guys that can put up 75+ a year would be a better strategy overall. Though With the way the cap situation is would that be more or less salary than a 100 point guy and a bunch of 60 pointers??? In all likelihood, much like Lafleur a top player will drag other players upwards.

But look at Toronto and Edmonton. Just because you have some super talented guys and lots of them doesn't mean you canjust win the cup. We need 35 point third line and a 20-25 point fourth liners. Need everyone to be a threat. If we had 65-70, 55-60, 33-40, 20-30 for our 4 lines might not be THE most talented guys, but we would have a great spread of guys that could all put the puck in the net. You win by having good talent through all the lines. Though I understand the game breaker mentality. A guy like Ovie who can just score from anywhere has its merits in a playoff run. Last guy we had like that was Kovy and that was 15 years ago.

I’m hopeful that this regime will finally change the mantra of allowing less to scoring more than your opponent 🤞

This thread is a reminder of how pathetically inept the habs have been offensively for the last two and a half decades.

Absolutely agree...................sad state for sure.
Kovalev is the only 80 pt player that has played in front of Price during his career.
They flopped badly building a team out in front of him.
Naslund the last 100 pt player, almost 40 years ago.
Better days ahead...

The Habs have spent so much time, trying not to lose, it's embarassing.

Even those guys who were on the cusp weren’t top-25 in the league….
 
Surprised we had only that many 100 point guys.

However NHL seasons used to be shorter, so guys like Beliveau, Geoffrion, Lach, Richard, Cournoyer, Moore etc. would've hit 100 points if they played 80+ game schedules.

Lemaire and Larouche were also very close and likely could've hit it if they didn't miss any games.

That was Bergevin in a nutshell. Never tried to win… just tried not to lose. He was horrible.
