Born: February 7, 1990 (age 22)
Team: Tampa Bay Lightning
Position: C
He is 22 years old and already has 179 goals and 150 assists, and is just getting started as he had 60 goals this year with 12 of them being game winning goals and 5 of those being in overtime. In the last 16 years there have only been 2 players to score 60+ goals in a season (Ovechkin/Stamkos). That should tell you the kind of season he had.
Stamkos just finished his 4th season and has already led the NHL in goals twice, made 2 All-Star teams, set the record for the most overtime goals in a single season (5), and most goals in a season by a Tampa Bay Lightning player (60).
Having a guy score like this just doesn't happen anymore. The next closest was Malking and he had 50, and behind him Marian Gaborik with 41.
