Greatest season ever by a conventionally bad player?

[Antiillafire]

What’s the greatest season by one guy who other than that single season was average or below average for the rest of his career? I’m thinking both stats and achievements.

[PensandCaps]

Jeff Schultz +50 year.

 

[Wildcarder]

Jonathan Cheechoo.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

the Cheech

 

[Wildcarder]

Jeff Schultz +50 year.

I'm assuming you mean Justin, who last year had 27 points in 46 games which is a 48 point pace over 82 games.

Edit: I'm dense! Didn't realize you meant +50 for plus/minus, I thought it was referring to Justin's 51 point season.

? no

 

[PensandCaps]

the Cheech

Wasn't a bad player outside of one year, he was a pretty good player for multiple years, He doesn't fit this title.

 

[Black Kevin]

? no

Man tried to ratio you but ended up ratioing himself. Sad. Jeff Schultz a Capitals legend!

 

[Wildcarder]

Jim Carey is the other one that comes to mind.

No, I think they meant Jeff Schultz, who played for Washington and LA, and put up 23 points and a +50 back in 2009-10...

Clarkson 2012

Ah I'm dense. I thought the +50 was referring to points.

Carry on

Cheechoo wasn't average or below average before his injury. He put up 28 goals in his sophomore season, which was good for 23rd in the league. He was 92nd in the league in scoring.

His 05/06 season was much better than his other seasons, but he wasn't a conventionally bad player until his hernia surgery that took away what little speed he once had.

It gets really tedious seeing people forget or not know how good he was before that surgery.

 

[PensandCaps]

Clarkson 2012

Clarkson was pretty good for many of years as a bottom 6er. Wouldn't say he was a "bad player" by any means.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Matt D'Agostini on the 2010-11 Blues. 46 out of his 107 career NHL points come from that season. (43%)

A Blues fan will have to clarify the details, but apparently he played with Backes due to many injuries on the roster, and then had concussion issues so he couldn't keep up his scoring.

 

[Teemu]

John Scott, All-Star Game MVP

 

[DougieSmash]

Todd White 73 pts in 09.

 

[duxfan1101]

Erik Gustafsson scoring 60 points one year still makes no sense.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Wanted to say Rob Brown, who I think was kind of a Drouin-type who played with Mario and put up absolute video game numbers (49G, 66A in 68 games), but he had more than just the one good season.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Idk, Cam Barker one year had good point totals didn’t he?

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Assuming goalies are included I think it's Andrew Hammond.

 

[tom leafers]

was gonna say Cheechop but got beat early on that one.

one that came to mind was- Nikolay Kulemin. scored 30 goals and 57 points that one year. never came close again

 

[InglewoodJack]

When Guillaume Latendresse was traded for Pouliot, he scored like 25 goals in 55 games for the wild (37G pace) and Pouliot scored 15 in 35, or like a 31 goal pace. Pouliot never scored over 19 goals in any other season, and was generally pretty awful, while Latendresse scored 14 total goals for the remainder of his career (3 seasons), and hadn’t scored over 18 any years prior.

Both of these guys were even worse than their stats showed too.

Jacques Richard’s 1980-81 season makes no sense compared to the rest of his career.
