The Patrick Roy thread got me thinking of this. The general consensus is that Roy was never considered the best player, which I agree with. It was tough for him because of the competition. In 1988-89, Patrick's record was 33-5-6. His GAA, save-percentage, and GSAA all led the NHL. He was a 1st-team All Star, and won the Jennings and Vezina... yet finished a distant 4th in Hart voting, because Lemieux, Gretzky, and Yzerman all had all-time great seasons. On top of that, Bernie Nicholls had one of the top-five scoring seasons ever by a non-Gretzky player. So, as I think this was probably Roy's greatest-ever regular season (though you can argue about '90 and '92), I'd say the 1988-89 season featured five all-time-great / elite player-seasons.
My question is: Which NHL regular season had the most of such all-time-great / elite player seasons?
I am asking in terms of regular season only, so please disregard playoffs for now.
