1. Gretsky
2. Lemieux
3. Bossy
4. M. Richard
5. Howe
I've heard many people discuss this and not many people mention Mike Bossy.
Bossy had 9 of his 10 seasons with more the 50 goals,The 10th seaspn he only played 63 games and still scored 38 goals.
-Bossy and Wayne Gretzky are the only players to have scored 50 or more goals for nine seasons. -Additionally, both are the only players ever to have scored 60 or more goals in as many as five seasons.
Bossy earned 5 First Team All-Star selections, one of only 4 right wings ever to do so, again a notable achievement considering that the other 3 had much longer careers (Gordie Howe - 26 years; Maurice Richard - 18 years; Guy Lafleur - 17 years).
Bossy averaged .762 goals per game in the regular season, more than any other player in NHL history, and .659 in the playoffs, 2nd only to Lemieux.
I can go on, or at least the stats could go on...
So tell me how Bossy is not a top 5 NHL player or at least a top 5
Offensive?
