Default One Hit Wonders - One great season (last 30 years)

https://pudding.cool/2018/04/one-hit-wonders/

Here's an interesting article that looks at players in the different major sports that had one hit wonders, which is one outlier season of greatness mixed in with a bunch of so so years.

It's interesting to see the number 1 in the last 30 years in the NHL was the amazing season Hudler had in 2015. Also, interesting to see that Craig Conroy came in 4th with his 2002 - 2004 play. It's an interesting question of whether the general play of the team allowed for a great one off season or if the one off season led to better results because of the out-of-nowhere addition of a top 20 scorer.

In the long term, I wouldn't be surprised to see Eberle and and Stepan to maybe take over a higher place in the list.
