Early in his career, the Capitals considered moving Stevens to wing because his offense was that good. He had five seasons of 60+ points (including once 72 and once 78) and two more that fell just shy (57 and 59). Pronger only hit 60 once, albeit in a lower scoring era and having seasons of 56 and 59 (in 66 games) points as well. Stevens morphed into a defense-only guy later in his career, but he had quite a run as an offensive defenseman.
