Goulet was probably the best LW in the NHL in the 1980s. From 1982-1988, he never dipped below 42 goals or 84 points, and he averaged over 51 goals and over 100 points. There are very few players who can claim to have averaged at that pace for an extended period of time. Yes, he benefitted from playing with one of the best playmaking centres in the history of the sport, and from playing on a dynamic, razzle-dazzle team. (They probably would have made it to at least one Cup final if they had a goalie). He scored some big goals, too, especially in the Nords' only run to the Conference Final in 1985. He's not a top 50 all-time player, but he is likely one of the top 10 or 12 LWs ever, in terms of talent and actual performance, and deserving of his place in the HHOF.
