Vegas has Mark Stone, Adin Hill, William Karlsson, Alex Pietrangelo, and Jonathan Marchessault.
Well, the 1985 Oilers had the great Wayne Gretzky, who happened to have a remarkable 215-point season. Edmonton also had one of the best defenseman in NHL history, Paul Coffey. A couple other names are Jari Kurri and Mark Messier.
