Panarin in had 87 points in 79 games and was consistently PPG. Gaudreau had an extremely variable point total year to year. 49 points in 56 games the year before. And 58 in 79 the year prior.
And Marner 5th in points? OK, but does anyone think Marner is the 5th best skater in the league? He’s not even a too 10 player, being behind McDavid, MacKinnon, Makar, Draisaitl, Hughes, Hughes, Kaprizov, Kucherov, Matthews, Ovwchkin, Crosby, Pasternak, Connor. His team puts him at least third.
