Guys like Raymond, Jooris Jones and Bouma all had double digits in goals, which shows that they were NHL quality that season.

We can definitely use hindsight to assess who was borderline NHL at the time. We can do the same with the current group two years from now. That's objective analysis. Quantifying one group as "legit" NHlers and the other as "AHL quality" is entirely subjective. And I don't agree with your take on the current forward group, nor that the past group was miles better.
Maybe in two years I'll look back and think you were on to something. Maybe not. But today, I don't think you are.
