Add him to a club that has Eichel as its main C in a couple years and he will be among the best 2nd line C's in the NHL as he can play PP and PK on top of his regular duties.
That doesn't mean he is worth 7 million per, but it does suggest he should be very well compensated as he is a very good player....and it appears he will be cashing in.

So how many of his points were generated by the skill plays of landeskog / Duschene / MacKinnon / Statsny/ Iginla / Tanguay and watching them score a skill goal or tapping in a goal they created.
Last year he got 12 of his 55 pts on the pp the year before 22 out of his 64 points on the PP. It would seem that the Avs were boosting his stats. Also they would be playing 4 forward on the pp as they have only 1 or 2 D-men with any offensive skills.
Hudler's 54 pts to lead the Flames in 2013-14 is far more impressive than any point total O'Rielly has put up.
You are one odd duck when it comes to stats and breakdowns of them.
