1)2015-2018

5v5 scoring
Player A - 84 points in 3123.39 minutes
Player B - 70 points in 3328.45 minutes
Player C - 68 points in 2929.6 minutes
Player D - 108 points in 3211.43 minutes

One of these players is "number one center Ryan O'Reilly who scores around the same clip as Monahan".
One of these players is Sean Monahan.

Guess:

a) Which one is Ryan O'Reilly

b) Which one is Sean Monahan

c) Who the other two players might be

Here are the answers:

Spoiler!

2) Could he help our power play? I mean, I'm skeptical that any left hand shot is what you want to be trading a key asset for to upgrade our power play which only already has like ten left hand shot forwards. I think you have to be really wary about his power play numbers. Especially on a team where he is one of only two high-end six forwards who shot left, rather than the entire roster. In Buffalo he is:

a) playing a role he probably wouldn't play here, I believe as the bumper in the slot on PP1, which is occupied by the Sean Monahan (or didn't we learn our lesson with Troy Brouwer?) on our PP and that's not changing any time soon

b) playing on a power play with many high-end right hand shot forwards - Jack Eichel, Sam Reinhart, Kyle Okposo. I mean you can make a good PP just by passing to Jack alone.

3) ROR carries a cap hit higher than Gaudreau and Giordano. Ponder that for a second given the above information.
