And the problem with the teams counting stats is mostly the PP - they are 8th as a team in 5v5 GF. They were 7th last year so the drop isnt huge. And actually have more 5v5 goals than the Oilers and Leafs elite offensive teams.

And sure we have no players in the top 45 of 5v5 points but we have 7 guys in the top 100, in a league where you have "96" top line players. And all three centers in the top 70.

Lindholm - T-47
Backlund - T-54
Dube - T-54
Kadri - T-65
Toffoli- T-65
Coleman- T-82
Mangiapane- T-82

Huberdeau- T-124

So really at 5v5 the only top 9 foward on the team lacking has been Huberdeau, and then the Lucic/Pelletier/Lewis rotation.

The PP is a different story though - and honestly I'm not sure if thats the players or the coaches because there has been some weird PP usage this year.
