Ignored position etc but just the top 12 forwards on each team based on 5v5 points.
F1: ~38.6 PTS (Gaudreau - 47)
F2: ~32.9 PTS (Monahan - 38)
F3: ~28.4 PTS (Ferland - 31)
F4: ~26.0 PTS (Tkachuk - 26)
F5: ~23.5 PTS (Backlund - 23)
F6: ~20.6 PTS (Bennett - 23)
F7: ~18.8 PTS (Frolik - 18)
F8: ~16.9 PTS (Jankowski - 16)
F9: ~14.7 PTS (Brouwer - 13)
F10: ~12.5 PTS (Stajan - 10)
F11: ~9.9 PTS (Hathaway - 10)
F12: ~8.2 PTS (Lazar - 7)
So I think what this says to me is that outside of Gaudreau this is a decidedly average roster from an offensive perspective this year. Most players tend to perform in-line with what the average forward on their team ranks.
Once again I feel like Bennett stands out a little as tends to creep into top 6 from a production standpoint - even though he mostly plays 3L minutes.
I think I will look at the average of the top 6 d-men, and the last 5 Stanley Cup champions later too.

Huh. I would not have thought the Flames forwards would come out average in that calculation.
Maybe it's because they have been so healthy?
