during kariya's second season, he was chosen to play for the western conference in the 1996 all-star game as the lone ducks representative. at the time of his selection, in january 1996, he was ranked 14th in nhl scoring with 51 points (23 goals and 28 assists) over 42 games. he later replaced the injured pavel bure of the vancouver canucks on the west's starting lineup. kariya scored a goal and an assist for the western conference in a 5–4 loss to the eastern conference. less than a month after the all-star game, the mighty ducks acquired finnish winger teemu selänne in a trade with the winnipeg jets. despite kariya's efforts, the ducks were low-scoring as a team; the deal was designed to give kariya offensive support. following the trade, ducks centre steve rucchin commented, "paul had a lot of pressure on him...he singlehandedly won some games for us this year...now that we have teemu, there's no way everybody can just key on paul." selänne was immediately placed on kariya's line. centred by rucchin, the two wingers formed one of the nhl's most high-scoring duos for several seasons. in the last month of the 1995–96 campaign, kariya achieved the 100-point single-season mark with a goal and three assists in a 5–3 win against the san jose sharks on april 7, 1996. a week later, he became the 14th-youngest nhl player to register 50 goals in one season, scoring twice in the final game of the campaign, a 5–2 win over winnipeg. with seven goals and seven assists over the final seven games of the season, kariya was named nhl player of the month for april. he finished the season with 50 goals and 58 assists for 108 points, tying him with selänne for seventh overall in nhl scoring. his three overtime goals set a team record. with 20 penalty minutes over 82 games, kariya won the lady byng memorial trophy as the nhl's most gentlemanly player and was also named to the season-ending nhl first all-star team. following the addition of selänne, the mighty ducks pushed for a playoff spot, winning 12 of their final 15 games, but finished the season ninth place in the west (the top eight teams qualify for the playoffs); they had an equal 78 points to the eighth-ranked jets, but finished a spot below them by virtue of having fewer wins.
