Picking every NHL team's leading scorer seems like a relatively easy task. Rookies rarely come out on top, and aside from the Dallas Stars, Pittsburgh Penguins, Anaheim Ducks and Washington Capitals, few teams have multiple players with star power who could lead not only their team in the points race but the entire league.
But factor in potential injuries, upward or downward trends, contract situations and perhaps new life with a new team, and the picture can be fairly cloudy.
If a team is particularly bad, a defenseman may win the crown. Perhaps a breakout season—like the one by Vladimir Tarasenko last year—will topple your pick.
