Well my argument wasn't that 50 points is the threshold for a "first-line" player. I was disputing the fact that 50 points is "mediocre" when only 95 forwards got 50+ points last season.
I would say that Richards received a lot of critisim for not producing offensively last season and he really didn't play like a first line center.
