According to the NHL.com records that date back to the 1987-88 campaign, no team has had three rookies finish in the top five in rookie scoring. The closest I could find was the Winnipeg Jets of 1992-93. Teemu Selanne finished first in rookie scoring, Alexei Zhamnov fourth, Keith Tkachuk ninth, and Evgeny Dadonov 11th. That Jets team did not go on to achieve the level of success Leafs fans are hoping for, but they were also disbanded prematurely before reaching their full potential, particularly in a clutch-and-grab era that made it very difficult for young players and teams to have success.
