This thread needs more Chris Kontos. Dude had 12 points in 6 playoff games for the Kings in 88, played only 7 games the following year, and was out of the league. Then shows up in 92-93 during Tampa's expansion year and scores 27 goals and 51 pointsi n 66 games, and never played in the NHL again...

Brad boyes shot at 21% accuracy in that 43 goal season that has been previously mentioned (207 shots). That is definitely flukey, when your career shooting average is 12%.

Not fluky at all for VL4 to get 50 goals that season. MVP line was insane that year. Injuries have derailed him a bit, thanks Cookie.

An injury shortened season that probably would have seen him hit 40. So question: If Cheechoo hit 40 that year, would he still top this list?
He also had 28 in his rookie year. Cheech was no fluke but he just broke down, poor guy.

Players are entitled to having career years. I think there needs to be some sort of way to differentiate a career year from a fluke season.

98-99: 0.73
99:00: 0.80
00-01: 0.69
01-02: 0.73
02-03: 0.76
03-04: 0.36 <--This season sticks out, but in the opposite way.
05-06: 0.68
06-07: 0.44

I find it fluky that 68-69 was the first year a player reached the 100 point mark. And 3 players accomplished this.
