the Sedins have continued to drive play at an elite rate the last few seasons, that didn't change last year even with Tortorella playing them in a more defensive role

last year they had a CF of 58%, 2012/13 it was 62%, 2011/12 it was 60%, 2010/2011 it was 57%

last year's numbers put them in the top 20 forwards in the league, most of which outside the Sedins, Thornton, and Bergeron all come from the Blackhawks and Kings

the only thing that really dropped about their play last year was the shooting %, especially on the power play
