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.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

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

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

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

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.

 

[Boud]

Andrew Hammond
Petr Prucha
Andrew Raycroft

 

[majormajor]

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

 

[Bubbles]

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

 

[lawrence]

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.

 

[Rorschach]

I don’t understand what happened here.

I’m guessing he played with the Stastny’s…that one guy Peter.

 

[ON3M4N]

Brad Boyes comes to mind, popping 43 goals for STL.

 

[Craig Ludwig]

Jim Carey - Vezina to bust

 

[Channelcat]

Teemu Selanne. His second highest goals scored in a season was less than 70% of his rookie year total.

Selanne was never the same after his Achilles injury with the Jets, ironically against the Ducks.

Depends if Edmonton keeps the first line intact. If they do, he will certainly get a lot of goals playing with the best playmaker of this generation.

McDavid's shot was off all year which is why he dropped off from 65 goals to 32.

McD Nuge Hyman will score around 100 goals. You can divide that up among them at random.

McD Drai Nuge Hyman will score around 100 goals. You can divide that up among them at random.

Thanks for the info, captain obvious.

Whether he's scoring goals or not, McDavid is always close to 1 assist per game. Because of this, and if they keep the McD-Hyman-Nuge line intact, Hyman will get a lot of goals.

I mean a big reason Hyman got a lot of those goals was more coverage on RNH on the PP.

IF nuge gets closer to 30, I could see Hyman dropping back down to 30 as well. If McDavid pops off 50 I could see them both dropping down to 25 each.


Not many in Oiler nation believe Hyman will repeat at 50.
Just like we didn't think Nuge would hit 100 again.

Hyman had 39 EV goals last season. More than 2/3 of his goal production.

Like I said, if the line is kept together, he'll score a lot of goals, simply because of the dynamics of the line itself.

McDavid also had most of his goals at EV (25). If he does get an increase, in his case it will probably come from the PP.

I never said 50 though.

McD Drai Nuge Hyman will score around 100 goals. You can divide that up among them at random.

That's quite a low estimate... I would think upwards of 150 goals is closer to reality, unless there are significant injury issues among them.
