Players who led team in scoring points in their final season

[SealsFan]

Gretzky and Beliveau both led their team in scoring in their final season in the NHL. Any others? Wondering if there are any surprise candidates...

Daniel Sedin just tied Brock Boeser for 1st in points but Boeser had 12 fewer GP and more goals.

Pavel Datsyuk had 1 less point than Zetterberg before retiring in 16 fewer games.

 

[K Fleur]

Daniel Alfredsson lead the Red Wings in scoring his final season(13-14).

 

[Michael Farkas]

Bossy was first in goals in his last season with the Isles, if that's what we mean by scoring...

1. Apps
2. Reinhart

Lemaire led the playoffs in scoring just before retiring.

 

[weaponomega]

Lemieux did it when he retired for the first time

Total points is what I'm looking for, edited thread title.

So, so far we've got:

Syl Apps (1947-48)
Jean Beliveau (1970-71)
Paul Reinhart (1989-90)
Wayne Gretzky (1998-99)

The one that surprises me there is Reinhart... never would have thought of that in a million years!

Phil Esposito would have done it if he hadn't come back to play 41 games in 1980-81... but then, I suppose we can say that about a lot of players! Robitaille if he hadn't had one more season after the Lock-out. Jagr if he'd retired at age 43...but he didn't.

I can't think of any others... but there must be more. Maybe guys who had to retire prematurely / suddenly...?

Mark Messier

Close, but he was just a little back of Bobby Holik.

Frank Mahovlich, but he kept playing in the WHA.

 

[SealsFan]

Well there's a surprise candidate, Reinhart, wow!
