NHL's top 2 biggest one-season wonders ft. Bryan Bickell

In the storied history of the NHL, certain players have managed to produce extraordinary performances that defy expectations, but only for one season.

These "one-season wonders" are players who, for one remarkable campaign, soared to the pinnacle of their abilities before fading back into relative obscurity.

Here are the NHL's two greatest one-season wonders:

#1 Brian Bradley (1992-1993)

During the 1992-93 NHL season, the Tampa Bay Lightning's Brian Bradley etched his name in the history books.

Leading the league with a remarkable 128 points, consisting of 42 goals and 86 assists, Bradley's on-ice vision and offensive brilliance captivated fans and pundits alike. However, injuries would eventually take a toll on Bradley, preventing him from replicating the magic of that unforgettable season.

#2 Bryan Bickell (2012-2013)

The lockout-shortened 2012-13 NHL season witnessed the rise of Bryan Bickell as one of the league's most unforgettable one-season wonders.

Playing for the Chicago Blackhawks, Bickell recorded nine goals and 14 assists in the regular season. However, it was during the playoffs that he truly left his mark, becoming a key contributor to the Blackhawks' successful Stanley Cup run.

He tallied nine goals and eight assists throughout the playoffs and scored the tying goal in the final minute of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Boston Bruins.

Unfortunately for him, adversity struck after his triumphant season. Bickell was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2016 after reportedly experiencing pain in his shoulder and leg. He even attempted a comeback and played in a few games during the 2016-17 season before retiring.
