I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable in NHL history, and players. I find myself down EliteProspect rabbit hole more often then I care to admit.
The name “John LeClair” came across my desk this afternoon. I checked out his stats expecting a 90’s 3rd liner who carved out a decent career.
I couldn’t believe it. 50-goals in 3 straight seasons. Over a PPG in his career. Played for a long time. Never had a bad year outside of injuries. Absolute MONSTER. How have I NEVER heard this name before? This overlapped in part with my childhood.
What other names did you find out about way later than you should?
