I only read two pages, but surprised no one mentioned Raycroft.

Petr Nedved. 99 points with Pitt in 95-96. Always a decent player but too soft but nowhere that good.

I don't believe in fluke seasons. Players can have a great season - one that is far superior to their norm - but I wouldn't call it a fluke. A guy still has to put the puck in the net or set up the plays.

Nobody ever says injuries derailed Brad Boyes, so what was it? It's not like he was playing with a Joe Thornton talent in St. Louis, too.

Brad Boyes did have 33 the year after his 43 goal explosion. Hasn't even hit 15 since then, though.

But seriously, the only answer to this question should be Jose Theodore.

Brian Rolston hit 79 pts in the anomaly year. His next highest was low 60s so not that bad but still.

Although it would have to be a Thornton circa 05-07 when he was really dishin it.

This thread screams lack of knowledge. Calling some of these things flukey is bordering criminal. Just because a player was complimented perfectly by another doesn't mean it's a fluke.

Citing 05-06 seasons should not count, scoring was so high that year. 92-93 too
