Stan Mikita

Stan Mikita

VERY good guess, but no. He played 17 games in 79/80, Gretzky's rookie year.

All-time leading scorers who never played a single game during Wayne Gretzky's career (before and after).

Crazy guess and only because of the "after" thing - Joe Thornton?

I would have guessed Mikita and Beliveau first

Edit: Nope, looks like I wasn't close

Not Thornton. He started his career while Gretz was still playing.

For clarification, I am asking for the leader of all players as of the end of the 78/79 season, assuming anyone that played in 79/80 or beyond never existed. I am ALSO asking for the all-time leading scorer if the NHL began (or re-started) in the 99/00 season, and anyone that played before that never existed.

For after Gretzky retired, is it one of the Sedins?

Oh so close! Henrik is 2nd on the list, just 25 points behind this player.

Before: Correct!

After: Nope.

After: Nope.

Jarome Iginla

 

[Captain Bowie]

Jarome Iginla

No. Remember it's only players who started their careers after Gretzky retired.

 

[kmad]

Martin St. Louis?

 

[Brainiac]

No. Remember it's only players who started their careers after Gretzky retired.

Vinny Lecavalier? Doesn't sound like it's the right answer, though.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Martin St. Louis?

Started in 98/99

Vinny Lecavalier? Doesn't sound like it's the right answer, though.

Also started in 98/99.

Both are very close though. (that was a hint).

Brad richards

There it is!

 

[Cursed Lemon]

Does anyone have a handy list of NHL players who hold the most recognized records? Like a top 10 or whatever.

 

[Megahab]

Wow, I'm surprised Brad Richards was the answer to that question. Didn't even cross my mind. I was thinking Sedins, Kovalchuk, or Heatley.

Felt like this was a good question to ask. Without looking it up, name every Hart winner who played with Paul Coffey, not necessarily in the same season

Gretzky, Lemieux, Messier, Jagr, Lindros

Gretzky, Lemieux, Messier, Jagr, Lindros

Your missing three

 

[Sadekuuro]

Fedorov is another. And Thornton must be one. I don't know who the last one is though. He was international teammates with Sakic, but I'm assuming that doesn't count.

I'm only talking about NHL teams.

Here is a hint. The last player won the Hart before Gretzky's rookie season
