Don't know why people are saying option 2 is Orr level.. im assuming this is in the current scoring environment correct? If so, then 100 points would be good for around 8th in the league if we're going by pace of the top 10 scorers this season, which is were Hughes ranks atm.
Would definitely be the best goalscoring season of all time by a defenseman. But Orr was contending for Art Ross trophies.
I'd say the season is a significantly better goalscoring Potvin. So basically the next best thing after Orr.

The Goalie AINEC
Goaltending is the only position in hockey that can control a game.
A goalie putting .935 sv% assuming he starts 60+ games will be having a bottom tier team as mid 90s team or an elite team as a 130+ pt team
If that play carries on into the playoffs (.930+ sv%) your almost guaranteed a deep run every year or at least most years.
There is no goalie who can put up a .935% SV% irrespective of who the defense is infront of them. There arent goalies who can play 60 games really anymore
This type of player has never existed.
Give me a goalie who can avg 15-20 years of .935 sv%, 60-65 starts per year and carry that 99.5% (.925 sv% minimum in playoffs) into the playoffs and you will have the GOAT of Hockey, someone better than Gretzky

Generally, I don't disagree, if you have a rock solid goalie, you'll at least be in every game and have a chance to win....but for the sake of argument, you could also suggest that the Goalie is a unique position in that they have no ability to control half of the game (offense)...while F and D can at least help score and keep the puck out.
