One is obviously Gretzky.

And I bet there's more defense than you'd expect.
Yeah, if you're getting 5-10 extra minutes of ice time a game it's a big advantage. Plus a lot of those defensemen probably got more powerplay time than even Gretzky. Bourque and MacInnis are going to be top 5.

I think the era and games played are the major factors for goal totals. I'd guess Gretzky, Messier, Chelios, Murphy, Bourque, and Coffey.

Coffey played with Gretzky and Lemieux at both of their scoring peaks and was probably on the ice for 99% of the power play goals.

Larry Robinson is probably up there because his career coincides almost perfectly with the highest scoring era, being on the dominant Habs teams in the 70s, and being on the ice all the time.

When he was +120 in 1976-77, the Habs only had five full-time defensemen.

Something's fishy, since Gordie isn't on either list. Just counting his regular season NHL goals and assists, he was on the ice for at least 1850 goals for, which would put him solidly at #39. Add the WHA totals, and he'd be up around #15.

Al MacInnis played so many minutes - he averaged 26:55 per game at age 39, something only a handful of players have done at any age in this era.

This is a bit pendantic, but you can pick up assists from the bench after a change, can't you? I know I've seen people get credited with goals just after getting to the bench.

NHL didn’t start recording plus minus until 67/68. Could account for that.

That's a shame about Derek Dorsett. He was a character guy when he was in Columbus.

Preds AS (NAS?)- how's Fartsmell doing this year? Looks like 16GP with 7 points?

Aside from him using Vinny Prospal as a mentor to turn his style of play around, my favorite Derek Dorsett story comes from the end of the 2011-12 season. He knew he was within striking distance of the PIM lead at the end of the regular season and apparently wanted to be #1, so what does he do?

He was doing ok to start the season. Taking dumb penalties but good in front of the net. He's been hurt for a bit though and I don't know where he will fit in post-Turris trade since Lavvy seems to be pretty set on Fiala-Turris-Smith as the 2nd line now.
