Most former 30+ goal-scorers on one club

[tabness]

1992-1993 Red Wings can't officially tie the 1986-1987 North Stars or 1990-1991 Leafs but they get close (then again Carson was traded for Coffey)

1. Yzerman
2. Fedorov
3. Ciccarelli
4. Ogrodnick
5. Carson
6. Sheppard
7. Coffey
8. Gallant
9. Ysebaert
10. Kozlov
11. Primeau

Mark Howe hit 30+ in the WHA and Probert had 29 once

Wait, do *future* 30-goal scorers like Primeau and Kozlov count too? Because then 90-91 Whalers could add Sanderson and Young to get to 13.

The 2002-03 Maple Leafs had nine former 30 goal scorers on their roster at the same time.

1. Mats Sundin
2. Alexander Mogilny
3. Gary Roberts
4. Owen Nolan
5. Robert Reichel
6. Mikael Renberg
7. Shayne Corson
8. Phil Housley
9. Doug Gilmour

Granted there wasn't a ton of overlap as a couple of those guys spent significant time on the IR. There were also six former 40 goal scorers on this list (Sundin, Roberts, Mogilny, Nolan, Gilmour, Reichel).




The next season, 2003-04 Maple Leafs had eight former 30 goal scorers all on the team at once.

1. Mats Sundin
2. Joe Nieuwendyk
3. Gary Roberts
4. Owen Nolan
5. Alexander Mogilny
6. Robert Reichel
7. Ron Francis
8. Mikael Renberg

The top six guys on that list are also former 40 goal scorers. And three of them are former 50 goal scorers (Mogilny, Nieuwendyk, Roberts).

Holy cow, I think we have a winner!!

This one is really unexpected. Especially in that some of these past 30-goal seasons are total one-offs (Bjugstad) or are for relatively obscure teams (Plett).

It's a fun exercise! Great idea!

I like targeting where guys like Petri Skriko, Pat Elynuik, Warren Young end up, teams that bunch up older players (some of those early Lightning teams), and teams around the merger in '79. Some of those 1970's teams like Atlanta, Detroit, Pittsburgh, can go 7 to 8 deep, with a litany of names of guys who hit the 30 goal mark once.

Housley, Doug Wilson, and Kevin Hatcher are nice targets.

I totally forgot about Bob Kudelski's 40 goal campaign over the years.

Those 1987 Stars are kind of loaded in raw offensive talent....

I was surprised that I couldn't find a single Rangers' team with 10 +30 goal scorers on it at one time (in the '80s).

I'm cheating here, because it's not a decade, rather 11 years (anything with an "8" in it as far as years go I'm using), but here's are all of the scorers who scored +30 goals, only prior to playing with the Rangers, or with that player still being on the roster the following year. I'm not counting the Turcotte, Dave Gagner, Paul Fenton, etc, because they did it on other teams after being with the Rangers, or in Turcotte's case, the year after he scored 30 goals, he's into the '90 (1990-91).

Has a team, ever had more 30 goal scorers in a single decade (or 11 years)?

I count 27 Rangers.
Hartford Whalers 1981-82 through to 1991-92
Dave Keon 38
Blaine Stoughton 56
Tom Rowe 31
Jordy Douglas 33
Ron Francis 32
Pierre Larouche 53

Carey Wilson 32
Randy Cunneyworth 35

Pat Verbeek 46
Rob Brown 49
John Cullen 39
Mark Hunter 44
Murray Craven 30
Barry Pederson 46

damn close at 26. One could stretch it a little and include Paul Fenton 32, who normally probably doesn't count, as he was a Whaler after his 32 goal season, but never got into a game before being traded...

Awesome! A lot of sneaky guys in there, like Barry Pederson, Jorgen Pettersson, and Tiger Williams. I was also thinking about Tim Kerr and Brian Propp ending their careers with Hartford in the early '90s.

I wouldn't count Fenton, only because he did it years later with Winnipeg.

BTW, since you're a Whalers' guy, I was rooting hard for them in the '92 playoffs. I remember barely anyone being at the Civic Center, yet, it sounded loud on TV, and Yvon Corriveau (of all people) looking like Cam Neely for a handful of games.

1986-87 Minnesota North Stars

1. Dino Ciccarelli
2. Brian MacLellan
3. Brian Bellows
4. Neal Broten
5. Kent Nilsson
6. Dennis Maruk
7. Keith Acton
8. Scott Bjugstad
9. Willi Plett
10. Steve Payne
11. Mark Pavelich
12. Tony McKegney

This one is crazy, especially considering it was a crap team that drafted 5th overall in 1987 ... but it should be noted that Pavelich joined the team late in the year after McKegney and Nilsson had been traded, so there were only 11 on that team at any given time.
