I think the 107 points that Guy Chouinard put up in 78-79 is the second highest total in Franchise history after Nilsson's freak season. Looking forward to seeing Gaudreau eclipse that total. I think Fleury in 93 is the last Flame to hit the Century mark so that's almost 30 years ago now.

Okay so this stat got me curious, is it common or rare for a team to go that long without a 100 point scorer? So I checked, and here's the last time each team had a player put up 100 points in a season
2021-22
Edmonton, McDavid & Draisaitl
Florida, Huberdau, the first ever 100 point season for the Panthers
2018-19
Boston, Marchand
Chicago, Kane
Pittsburgh, Crosby
Tampa, Kucherov
2017-18
Philadelphia, Giroux
2010-11
Vancouver, Daniel Sedin
2009-10
Washington, Bäckström
2006-07
Colorado, Sakic
Ottawa, Heatley
San Jose, Thornton
2005-06
NYR, Jagr
Carolina, Eric Staal
1998-99
Anaheim, Selänne & Kariya
1995-96
Detroit, Fedorov
1993-94
Toronto, Gilmour
St.Louis, Shanahan
Kings, Gretzky
1992-93
Calgary, Fleury
NYI, Turgeon
Winnipeg, Selänne
Buffalo, LaFontaine & Mogilny
1986-87
Dallas, Ciccarelli
1985-86
Montreal, Näslund
And the following teams have never had a 100+ point scorer:
Columbus, New Jersey, Minnesota, Nashville, Coyotes, Vegas, Seattle.
In short, it's been 10+ years for most teams, 20+ years for more than half the teams and some teams have never had one.
Btw, can't believe I've missed this, but Roman Josi is on pace for 102 points, which would make him the 6th defenseman ever to break 100 points in a season, and the first one since Brian Leetch in 1991-92.
