Players Who Peaked In A Stat Then Fell Off A Massive Cliff

Going to be pretty hard for him to drop off that far without an injury. The way he scores goals is about as sustainable as it gets, and his linemates aren't changing from last year.

I just think Connor is going to score more this year.

Scott Gomez was a fine player (750 points in 1000 career games) and a fantastic playmaker, but he never hit 20 goals his entire career and then exploded for 33 goals in 05/06 and then never hit 20 again.

And then had a whole friggin website based on his inability to score. Respect for playing through that?

When you think about the few big names NHL players who got a 130+ points season, you don't necessarily think about Dennis Maruk. And it’s not like he had a Lemieux or Gretzky on his line. He had 49 more points than the 2nd best scorer (Ryan Walter!) that year in Washington.

I don’t understand what happened here.

He managed to keep it together somehow for 1 full season but otherwise he was completely off the rails. Went to prison for cocaine trafficking after his career and died young in a car crash.

I don't think we are going to see Hyman score 54 again. 25-30 this year is what im guessing.

I’m thinking around 40. He still is going to be playing with McDavid/Draisaitl.

Me too. I don't think it'll take away from Hymans goal totals though

Thomas Vanek. He put up 40 goals in both his 2nd and 4th year into his career and wasn't able to replicate it after that. Spends 9 years in Buffalo and then plays on 7 teams in the last 9 years of his career. Nobody wanted the guy long term.

Andrew Hammond
Petr Prucha
Andrew Raycroft

Fun fact, Nick Foligno was once tied for 10th in the NHL in scoring. The only Jacket ever to do it.

 

[Halakitlikethat]

Galchenyuk 30 goal year

 

[Albatros]

Rookie Steve Mason and 10 shutouts in '09.

 

[Elvs]

Dick Tarnstrom

Justin Holl had a similar thing happen, he had two goals in his first two games for the Leafs meaning that it would've taken him 9 years to break Gretzky's record at that pace. He then had 9 goals in his next 320 games meaning that it would take him roughly 400 nhl seasons to break Gretzky's record

Nik Ehlers.

he was a 65 point player at a very young age, but than as the years went by, was pretty much a 60 point player his career. Not that its bad or anything. He was touted to be better than Nylander, but Nylanders stats sky rocketed, Ehlers kinda was statemented.
