That depends if his development is linear and whether or not his output was rooted in his play or the fact that he was paired with a player like Landeskog. There was a pretty stark contrast in his numbers with and without Landeskog last season, and when he was separated from him he went from a player who outscored the opposition to one that got outscored by a 2:1 margin. Conversely, Landeskog's numbers were as good or better when he wasn't playing with O'Reilly compared to when he was with him.
