Carlyle arrived in Pittsburgh as what would be a steal from the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Defenseman broke out in the early 80s, and in 1980-81, he had the season of his life. He would post a career-high of 83 Points and won the Norris Trophy as mentioned earlier. While Carlyle never made another post-season All-Star, he followed up his Norris win with a 75 Point and 56 Point season, respectively. Midway through the next campaign, he would be traded to the Winnipeg Jets.
As a Penguin, Randy Carlyle would score 323 Points in 397 Games.
19. Randy Carlyle
When most people think of Randy Carlyle these days, they likely think of his coaching, which included helping the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim to a Stanley Cup in 2006. What many people forget is that he was one solid hockey player who once won the Norris Trophy, an award he collected as a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
