In the early days of the Ottawa Senators - when they were really really bad - there were a few guys who made the most of the opportunities playing on a bad team can give you, much like the aforementioned Bob Kudelski.
Norm MacIver had played for the Rangers, Whalers and Oilers and couldn't really nail down full time job but blossomed in 1991-92 with the Oilers putting up 40 points in just 57 games. Despite that, he was left unprotected in the Waiver Draft and the lowly Senators plucked him and he became the first leading scorer in team history with 17-goals and 63 points that year.
He never scored more than 7 goals in a season again after that but he did have a 53 point season split between the Penguins and Jets due in large part to catching fire after the trade and scoring 30 points in 39 games in Winnipeg.
Dan Quinn, who had off ice issues we need to get into, was free falling through the NHL in the early 90's. Between 1991 and 1993 he suited up for Vancouver, St. Louis, Philadelphia and Minnesota and then was out of the NHL altogether and playing in Switzerland. Then the bottom dwelling Senators brought him in to finish the 1993-94 season and he scored 7-goals in 13 games.
The next year her joined the LA Kings, but wasn't nearly as successful, then was back in Switzerland and later in the IHL before the Senators came calling again, and once again, Quinn excelled on a lousy team scoring 24 points in 28 games. Despite his production, he was traded to Philadelphia for cash and was out of the NHL a year later.
