17. Ziggy Palffy

Ziggy Palffy played the first six years of his career with the New York Islanders, where he had a three-year run of at least 87 Points.  The Isles dealt Palffy to the Kings in a large transaction in the summer of 2000, and Palffy achieved approximately the same level of success in LaLa Land.

The Right Wing had three straight 30-plus Goal years for Los Angeles (2000-01 to 2002-03), his best year being 2000-01 with 89 Points and a fifth-place finish for the Lady Byng.  Twice an All-Star as a King, Palffy scored 340 Points in his five seasons in Los Angeles, nine more than he had with the Islanders.  He also had a Plus/Minus of +85 in L.A.
