[jimbo79]

gretz also got 87 a couple years after that... but if it needs to be a diff player brett hull scored 86 goals, it was in early
90's i cant remember that exact year.

 

[jimbo79]

Oldest captain to win a stanley cup?

 

[zoolander007]

to answer your question Hella .

Brett Hull got 86 or 88 goals
Mario Lemieux got 88 too I think
Teemu Selanne got 76 goals on his rookie season
and the next one to hit 75-80 goals will be Ovechkin next year or in 2-3 years top. he would have beat his last season record of 65 goals this year if he wouldnt have been injured. He will still finish at around 55 goals.
