To be honest, I struggled with whether or not to even include the 4th liners, because I think it's somewhere between tough and impossible to isolate an individual's contribution from his line as a whole. Jagr's played on the top line, he's played on the 3rd line, and now he's played a bit on the 4th line. His numbers are obviously going to be better than the other 4th liners, but how much of that is Jagr, and how much is Gaudreau, Monahan, Bennett, and Jankowski?

We're actually +2 at 5v5 right now. As Five-hole mentioned above, it's special teams that are dragging down our goal differential.
