On six occasions a player has been traded during a 100-point season: Jean Ratelle, Bernie Nicholls, John Cullen, Teemu Selanne, Wayne Gretzky, and Joe Thornton. Thornton is also the only NHL player in history to be traded in the same year they won the Art Ross Trophy as the NHL’s leading scorer.

Excluding the six split-team situations above, and excluding franchises that have simply changed cities, 17 players have achieved complete 100-point-or-more seasons with two teams. The first was Marcel Dionne in with the Detroit Red Wings and then  with the Los Angeles Kings. No player has done this with three teams, unless the split-team situations are counted, in which case Gretzky would be considered the only player to accomplish this: Edmonton Oilers (9 times), Los Angeles Kings (5 times), and, in, combined Kings/St. Louis Blues. Gretzky, Coffey, and Adam Oates are the only players to have two 100 point seasons with two different teams (Joe Sakic scored 100 points with the Quebec Nordiques and also with the Colorado Avalanche, which are two different teams, though technically the same franchise).

Six defencemen have scored at least 100 points in a season. They are Bobby Orr (six times, including the overall defenceman record of 139 points in ), Paul Coffey (five times), Denis Potvin, Al MacInnis, Brian Leetch, and Erik Karlsson (the most recent, in ).

The youngest player to achieve a 100-point season is Sidney Crosby, at 18 years, 253 days old. He scored his 100th NHL point on April 17, 2006, the Pittsburgh Penguins' 81st game of the, his rookie season.

Joe Sakic had the greatest time period between first and last 100 point seasons, achieving his first in 1988-89, and his last in 2005-06, for a span of 17 years.

Wayne Gretzky is the only player to achieve or surpass a 200-point season, doing so with the Edmonton Oilers four times: and three consecutive from 1983–84 to. When he accomplished this feat in 1981–82, Gretzky also became the first ever player to surpass 160, 170, 180, and 190 points in a season. While Gretzky would surpass each of the 160 through 190-point thresholds multiple times, only one other player has ever reached those marks – Mario Lemieux. It is only at the 150-point threshold that a few other players (four) have joined those two players: the six players to achieve or surpass a 150-point season are Wayne Gretzky (nine times), Mario Lemieux (four times), and once each for Phil Esposito, Bernie Nicholls, Steve Yzerman and Connor McDavid. Names and number of seasons quickly escalate below 150 points.

Four franchises have had 100 point players before and after the entire team moved: the Hartford Whalers/Carolina Hurricanes, the Atlanta Flames/Calgary Flames, the Quebec Nordiques/Colorado Avalanche, and the Minnesota North Stars/Dallas Stars. Two franchises have had 100-point players in their original city, but not their new city: original Winnipeg Jets (now Arizona Coyotes) and Atlanta Thrashers (now Winnipeg Jets).
