These are all hall of famers and then Kadri
What Kadri is going is actually completely out of the norm for a non hall of fame type player.

Eh, this is kind of misleading. Where they sit in league scoring isn’t the full picture. Palmieri and O Reilly are a few months younger than Kadri and have similar P/GP with just a few less games played. Johansson is the same age and has 2 less points.
Kane has 18 in 19. Zuccarello and Benn are both around a P/GP (10/13 and 8/10 respectively).
So some guys have been limited by injury, but Palmieri, O Reilly, Johansson, and Zuccarello are all right there in terms of production/performance.
And then you have a whole bunch of players, like Backlund, who are performing at a level that may not be as high as those guys, but is still in line with their career averages and what you’d expect.
