This is absolutely what you want in the league. Can you believe 14/15 didn't even have a single guy over 90 points!?

Yeah, I probably should've divided up the "New NHL" into two eras (2005-2010 and 2010-2017).

05/06: 7 players w/ 100 pts, 5 players w/ 50 goals
06/07: 7 100 pts, 2 50 goals
07/08: 2 100 pts, 3 50 goals
08/09: 3 100 pts, 1 50 goals
09/10: 4 100 pts, 3 50 goals

10/11: 1 100 pts, 1 50 goals
11/12, 1 100 pts, 2 50 goals
12/13: 1 100 pts, 1 50 goals (pro-rated)
13/14: 1 100 pts, 1 50 goals
14/15: 0 100 pts, 1 50 goals
15/16: 1 100 pts, 1 50 goals
16/17: 1 100 pts, 0 50 goals

There's probably no one single reason for this, but I can't help but think the high-flying Caps getting Halak'd in 2010 convinced a lot of "hockey men" that you can't win by scoring goals.

Meanwhile, since then:

17/18: 3 100 pts, 0 50 goals
18/19: 6 100 pts, 2 50 goals
19/20: 7 100 pts, 4 50 goals (pro-rated)
20/21: 4 100 pts, 1 50 goals (pro-rated)
21/22: 8 100 pts, 4 50 goals
22/23: 11 100 pts, 5 50 goals
23/24: 10 100 pts, 5 50 goals (projected)
