One of the great young stars of the game, Nathan MacKinnon came into the National Hockey League as the first overall Draft Pick in 2013.  As a rookie, the Nova Scotian Center would win the Calder Trophy with 63 Points.  MacKinnon did not hit that mark over the next three years, but in 2017-18, he would have a 97 Point year with a league-leading 12 Game Winning Goals.  He would also be named a Second Team All-Star and was second in Hart Trophy voting.

In terms of tenure, few can match what Adam Foote did for the Quebec Nordiques/Colorado Avalanche.

J.C. Tremblay had an excellent career in the National Hockey League, where he was a five-time Stanley Cup Champion with the Montreal Canadiens.  That is true,  but this is a list about the all-time Colorado Avalanche/Quebec Nordiques, the team where Tremblay had his best individual success.

The Quebec Nordiques of the 1970s were not just representing Quebec City, but they also were loaded with French-Canadiens.  One of those stars was Real Cloutier, an offensively skilled player who would win the WHA Scoring Title twice.  The Nordiques owned that award for four consecutive years as his teammate; Marc Tardif won that honor in 1975-76 and 1977-78 with Cloutier capturing it in 1976-77 and 1977-79.  In those four years where the two Quebecers were trading the Bill Hunter Trophy (The WHA’s version of the Art Ross), Cloutier never had less than 114 Points and was a post-season All-Star (one First Team and three Second Team) Selection in all of those years.  He would also score 27 Points in the 1977 Avco Cup Playoffs, which were won by Quebec.
