Please consider this : Tony Hand scored 216 points 35 games in 1986-87, and... ranked 3rd in the league! The tenth best scorer had 177 pts in 29 games the same year. So I don't think these numbers mean anything, seriously. That's probably why he was drafted 252nd in 12th round of the 1986 draft. In 13 seasons for the BHL, only once was he the best scorer of the league though he never did less than 144 pts. This league was just crap.

Tony Hand was a player-coach for my, then, local hockey team in England - Manchester Phoenix and at the age of 47 he still managed to score 61 Points in just 48 games. An absolutely incredible player, certainly at the British Level, which whilst not amazing isn't nearly as poor as you would imagine for how niche the sport is over here. I've no doubt that with NHL full-time coaching and much better quality players around him he could have easily been considered one of the better players in NHL history. He also got 90 points in just 55 games for the Great Britain national team!

[@MoneyHoneyBunny]

Tony Hand is 1 of many players to choose their home country over the NHL, some did it later in their career like Kovalchuk, Radulov, Ziggy Palffy, and even Jaromir Jagr CHOSE to go back overseas and play, many guys did it. Palffy and Kovalchuk would have been easily hall of famers if they played full NHL careers, both had over a point per game with also a great goals per game when they left (yes Kovalchuk did come back but didnt do a lot but his goals per game was insane, and he played on ATLANTA the worst team in the league when he was doing it) And Jagr, well he is 2nd all time on points but, had he not had 1. the 04 05 lockout and 2. the 3 seasons he chose to leave after 08... he would easily have over 2000 points, and be the 2nd player to do so. Hes still the 2nd player at 1900 points but, IDK, 2000 woulda felt more special.
