Players with massive outlier seasons in their careers

[Hobnobs]

Looking like William Karlsson.

43 + 35 = 78 last season.
On pace for 25 + 25 = 50.

How is that similar to what OP is asking for?

Fedorov.

Sergei had never scored 40 goals or had any kind of 1st/2nd all star season, or Hart finalist recognition...except the one in which he scored 56 goals, was a 1st team all star and won the Hart.

Take that outlier out, and his career barely is HHOF worthy.

What are you talking about? If it wasnt for the lockout he would had a peak of 3 straight seasons over 100 points with two selke trophies and another top-5 in hart voting. Not to mention that he managed to lead the playoffs in assists WITHOUT EVEN REACHING THE FINALS and was the scoring champ during the cup run. During the DPE he performed offensively on par with other HoFers like Shanahan, and Recchi. Maybe his stat line wouldve looked better if he played for a run and gun team like Avs but he played for Bowman. As well as being 5th in PPG in the playoffs during that time frame surrounded by other legends. Not really an outlier.

wasn't he derailed by Alcoholism not hockey talent?

I actually never knew that but that makes a lot of sense.

I actually never knew that but that makes a lot of sense.

There was an article about him (players Tribune maybe) right around when he joined the kings? I believe. It was pretty bad, if I remember right, drinking bottles of liquor a day. Was hoping he would pull out of it after reading the article

Jean Pronovost - 52-52-104 in 75-76, next best season 75 points the previous year
Vic Hadfield - 50-56-106 in 71-72, next best season was 73 points
Tim Young - 95 points as a 21-year old sophomoire in 76-77, next best effort tops out at 74
Warren Young - career minor leaguer/28 year old rookie scores 40 goals and 72 points skating with rookie Mario Lemieux, only other full NHL season hits 46 points
Ron Sedlbauer - AHL calibre one dimensional player sets Canucks record for goals with 40 in 78-79, adding 16 assists for a whopping 56 points; next best season he went 18-20-38

.
Sedlbauer was an extremely lazy and soft player, it was increible that he had such a fluke year.

Sedlbauer arguably might have been the most impressive outlier considering he may have had the lamest supporting cast.

Hadfield had Gilbert/Ratelle/Park/Walt Tkaczuk

Pronovost was not the only high scoring Pen in 1976 (Larouche, Kehoe)

Warren Young had Mario Lemieux

Jacques Richard had the Stastnys

Scott Bjugstad in 1986 had Cicarelli/Broten/Bellows

Gary Leeman in 1990 had other fellow Leafs lighting the lamp (Damphousse/Olczyk/Marois)

Sedlbauer meanwhile had....... Stan Smyl and Tomas Gradin on a team where nobody hit 60 points and Sedlbauer LED the team in scoring

He had a fluke career year with no glaringly obvious standout teammate that can be attributed to that success
