Try sending the hawks even a single asset that would interest them.

Oilers are the only ones. Still don't see this team doing it though. They would need 110 more goals than last season, that's a pretty significant number.

Correct!

1981-82 Oilers: 417
1982-83 Oilers: 424
1983-84 Oilers: 446
1984-85 Oilers: 401
1985-86 Oilers: 426

The Edmonton Oilers is the only organization in the history of the NHL to score 400 or more goals in a single season. Incredibly, they did it five times IN A ROW.

Probably not enough for either Miller or Kane

That is actually insane I am surprised I have never heard that before. 10/10 Trivia.

Only 8 teams have even scored over 300 goals in a season in the salary cap era and 5 of them were this past season. The Panthers 337 were the most ever in the cap era also, and that's still 63 goals short of 400. 400 goals is something that may not be touched for a very long time unless we see an even bigger increase in scoring than we have recently.

I know the Panthers last year (at least pretty sure) (wow they weren't close. It was having 4 goals per game not 400 goals. Honestly it makes sense though that it was high flying 80s teams not a team in 2022)

My guesses without looking at the answer:
Gretzky/Messier/Kurri oilers
Yzermans red wings at their peak in their avs/red wings rivalry days around maybe 2000
Mario and Jagr and Francis Pens
Bossy's Islanders

From the time Kane joined late January, the Oilers scored 3.72 GF/GP, which is a full season pace of 305.
From the time Woodcroft joined early February, the Oilers scored 3.82 GF/GP, which is a full season pace of 313. So they'd only need to find 90 or so goals to hit 400 - not unreasonable considering the additions.

Thought Stastny and goulets nordiques were over 400 but they topped at 360

Are Wayne and Brent still the top scoring brothers?

Further - the Oilers scored 4.06 GF/GP in the playoffs too.

Crazy fact. I kinda assumed oilers of the 80s would hold down at least 4 of those but I would have incorrectly guessed islanders may have pulled it off once before oilers dynasty took over.

It just goes to show how nuts that team was.

But seriously they had the best forward of all time (okay Mario fans we can argue one or two whatever)
Another top 5-7 forward in Messier of all time
Another high end hall of fame forward in Kurri
A hall of fame defenseman who is likely one of the tops all time in pure offensive skill from the blue line

Plus guys like Anderson (another hall of famer) et al

All in the highest scoring era of the NHL

I wish I was old enough to have watched it live

Really fun interesting morning trivia thank you for posting it.

That's still over a goal more scored per game. Just the way the game is played now would make that extremely difficult. Not to mention last season the Oilers had 2 guys score more than 30 goals. Those Oiler teams had 4 or 5 of them each of those years with 3 or 4 more scoring 20+. On top of that you had Gretzky putting up 92, 71, 87, 73, and then 52. The year he scored 52 Kurri scored 68, Anderson had 54, Coffey had 48 and Messier had 35.

Even if you believe McDavid can put up 50, and Kane can put up 40 you would still need 60+ from Draisaitl and 30+ from several more players. JT Miller has only passed 30 goals 1 time and it was 32 this past season. P Kane can probably break 30 again on a better team but 40+ might be a stretch for him at this point in his career, and he had only ever broken 40 twice in his career during his prime.

For sure. I don't know who is 2nd, but the Richard brothers combined for 2012 career points while the Gretzky brothers have 2861 (2857 + 4). I don't see how anyone else could come close, you'd have to have 2 guys within the top-20 all-time to challenge that. Or 3 in the top-100.

The Sutter's are the top scoring family.

The Sabres have the best and deepest prospect pool in the league, a 3rd is absolutely meaningless

Yeah, it's stretching a little but not a lot.

Draisaitl 55
McDavid 50
E Kane 45
P Kane 35
Miller 30
Hyman 30
Nugent-Hopkins 20
Yamamoto 20
Puljujarvi 20
Holloway 20
McLeod 15
Ryan 10
Aston-Reese 10

Bouchard 15
Nurse 10
Ceci 5
Kulak 5
Broberg 5
Samorukov 3
Desharnais 2

That's 405 without any major injuries. Four hundred is certainly possible, even if it requires good injury luck.

Sporcle quiz. Nhl players who have scored 60 goals

The ones that came closest are mostly predictable:
6. 70-71 Bruins 399 (Orr, Esposito)
7. 87-88 Flames 397 (Loob, Bullard - WHO?)
8. 76-77 Canadiens 387 (Lafleur, Shutt)
9. 81-82 NYI 385 (Bossy, Trottier)
10. 88-89 Kings 376 (Gretzky again)
11. 74-75 Canadiens 374 (Lafleur, Peter Mahovlich)
12. 86-87 Oilers 372
13. 92-93 Red Wings 369 (Yzerman, Federov)
14. 92-93 Penguins 367 (Lemieux, Stevens, Tocchet)
15. 87-88 Oilers 363
16. 84-85 Flames 363 (Nilsson, Loob)

Man, those 80's Flames teams really overachieved, didn't they.
