I think Toronto slides back a bit—the loss of Van Riemsdyk will not be unnoticed, even with the addition of Tavares, and Marleau is as old as dust tallying his lowest sans-lockout points-total last year since 2002.
There were six additional teams with five +20-goal scorers: Winnipeg, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Chicago, NYI, and VGK.

Just two addendums to your “old as dust” Marleau comment.
He is still one of the best skaters in the NHL and still has a great release.
