Wouldn't that make the fact he scored 20 as a rookie a greater accomplishment?
Just saying... your logic doesn't add up. "Oh ya those 20 goals he scored he just got those because his teammates and linemates sucked so ya know somebody had to score them."

It is a great accomplishment no doubt. I just think he wouldn't have put up as many goals had there been established players capable of already doing so. He was surrounded by plugs, who were inept for the most part. His skill was obviously superior in comparison to Jones et al. Sometimes players benefit individually from playing on bad or mediocre teams.
