With that in mind here is an honorable mention. Troy Brouwer just missed the top 10 list but it doesn’t mean we won’t talk about him. Brouwer was traded to the Caps from the Chicago Blackhawks for a first round pick in 2011. His first season saw him score 18 goals and add 15 assists for 33 points. The next season saw him record another 33 point season with 19 goals and 14 assists.

Brouwer had a breakout season in 2013-14 with a career high 25 goals and 18 assists for 43 points. The next season saw Brouwer score 43 points again with 21 goals and 22 assists including a signature moment with the game-winning goal in the 2015 NHL Winter Classic.
