15. Brett Hull (1986-2006): 32 Points

Known for having one of the best shots in NHL history Brett Hull, son of Bobby Hull, amassed jaw-dropping statistics throughout his career. He led the league in points three times, and four times put up more than 100 points in a season, and five times hit the 50-goal plateau. He truly was one of the best shooters (especially one-timers) of all-time. He isn’t the last “Hull” to be found on this list. Career points-per-game: 1.09

Primary Team: St. Louis Blues

13. (TIE) Bryan Trottier (1975-1994): 34 Points

Trottier was one of the vital pieces of the Islanders’ dynasty of the 1980s and his place on this list is deserved. He led the league in points once and assists twice. Six times he hit the 100-point mark for a season and once managed to record 50 goals in a season. Career points-per-game: 1.11

Primary Team: New York Islanders

13. (TIE) Evgeni Malkin (2006-Present): 34 Points

The player known as “Geno” has been incredibly productive since joining the league. He is impressively ranked at number 13 despite sharing the spotlight with Sidney Crosby. He still has a lot of his prime left and has already led the league in points twice and assists once. He’s put together three 100-point seasons and one 50-goal campaign. Career points-per-game: 1.22

Primary Team: Pittsburgh Penguins

11. (TIE) Marcel Dionne (1971-1989: 44 Points

Dionne is tied with Sidney Crosby (for the time being at least) because he put together eight 100-point seasons, good for third most all-time. To go along with that he scored at least 50 goals in 6 seasons, too. But despite all of his accolades, he did only lead the league in points once. Career points-per-game: 1.31 (fifth best all-time)

Primary Team: Los Angeles Kings

11. (TIE) Sidney Crosby (2005-Present): 44 Points

Almost breaking the top 10 is “Sid the Kid” the captain of the Penguins. He is widely regarded as the best player in the world at the moment, so time will tell where he will end up on this list. He’s the third highest active player on this list. Twice he’s led the league in points and once he’s led the league in goals and assists. In every healthy season he’s participated in he’s topped the 100-point plateau (five times) and he’s hit the 50 goal mark once. Career points-per-game: 1.39 (tied for fourth best all-time)

Primary Team: Pittsburgh Penguins
