Barry Pederson was the runner-up for the Calder Trophy in 1982 when he had a 92-Point Season for the Boston Bruins. In the next two years, he had 107 and 116 Points, respectively, both of which earned him a trip to the All-Star Game. He was fifth and sixth in Points respectively in those years, which, considering the high-potent scoring that took place in the 1980s, was no small accomplishment.

Pederson never had a 100-point season again, but he did have a pair of 76-point years (one for Boston and one for Vancouver) and would score 654 Points overall in his 701 Game career.  Sadly, he is best known for being traded for Cam Neely!
