So the thread about Mike Bossy got me thinking about players who might have been able to enhance their legacy or place on top lists with just a few more goals or assists in the right season.
Take Mike Bossy if he scores 11 more goals in his career (fairly insignificant) he goes to a 3 time 70 goal scorer and a 6 time 60+ goal scorer. Does this put him as the greatest goal scorer of all time.
Does 1 more point for Lemieux giving him 200 change his spot on all time lists?
If Gretzky scores 18 more points he has 6 consecutive 200 point seasons. For those that don't have him as #1 all time, does this change your ranking?
Second Tier players
Michel Goulet
3 more goals gives him 6 consecutive 50 goal seasons. I don't think I ever heard him brought up when great goal scorers are mentioned. Does this change with 6 consecutive 50 goal seasons.
Dave Taylor a bit of a reach I admit but 27 points over 3 seasons (1 of which he was out for around 20 games) gives him 5 100 point seasons.
