Your regular reminder that trying to use NHL point scoring as a comparator for rosters of best on best single elimination tournament teams is very, very stupid. It does not matter if one guy has 163 points over his last 155 games and another guy has 122 over his last 108 games. There is nothing similar about these contexts that would make that comparison compelling - the incentives are completely different from an 82 game standings-driven season with a completely different talent level both among your linemates and your opponents. The only useful thing to look at in this context is observable talent and skillsets.
And this is coming from a stats guy. Look at my username. If I am the one telling you this, please, stop calculating and comparing points per game. It's meaningless.
