Anyways, thanks for reading my post and I hope it is the first of many to come!

Good post.
I do think PP points is a bit of red flag.
I don't know how it ended up, but I know Brandon Perlini late in season had about 50% of his points on the PP (and on a team with a ton of PP).
I think its something to consider - particularly if the guy is on a team who gets a ton of powerplays. It can really elevate their point totals if they are racking up points on the power play because they have chances other guys don't.
FWIW - Kingston and Oshawa were pretty close in terms of PP attempts although Bennett likely missed some of those due to all of his penalties.
