How extraordinary is Auston Matthew's 60 goal season in NHL History?

 Auston Matthews' hypothetical 60-goal season in the NHL would be a remarkable achievement, but it's important to note that such a feat would depend on various factors such as the level of competition, the era in which it occurred, and the overall scoring trends in the league.

In NHL history, scoring 60 goals in a single season has been achieved by only a select few players, putting it in the realm of extraordinary accomplishments. As of my last update in January 2022, only eight players in NHL history have scored 60 or more goals in a single season:

  1. Wayne Gretzky (4 times)
  2. Mario Lemieux (3 times)
  3. Brett Hull
  4. Phil Esposito
  5. Alexander Ovechkin
  6. Steve Yzerman
  7. Jari Kurri
  8. Bernie Nicholls

Scoring 60 goals requires an exceptional combination of skill, scoring ability, consistency, and often durability throughout the season. It's also noteworthy that the NHL has seen a decrease in goal-scoring in recent decades compared to earlier eras, making the achievement even more impressive in the context of today's game
