Quoting: GMs
Because is best season is 44 points playing with Matthews
Exemple : Danault 50+ points Elite defensively, still a excellent 3rd center / Shaw 47 points in 63 games with MTL, not a top 6 winger
Ehlers Hoffman Gallagher Nylander Teravainen Nyquist Palmieri Bailey Buchnevich Konecny are top6 RW, not Kapanen
For what it's worth all of those guys you mentioned accept maybe bichnevich are first line wingers. You'd be surprised what the 50th or so RW and lw scores in a typical year (50th to represent what a typical but slightly below average second line winger).
Last year

RW

goals 13. A three way tie of armia, Garland, and Mathieu Joseph
Points 26. Three way tie of Mathieu Joseph, Hartman, and Kassian
If you're curious Kapanen was Tied for 28th in goals with 20 with Wheeler, Voracek, Svechnikov and Rich
For points He was 31st at 44
Kapanen was a ****ty first line RW last year or an excellent second line RW.
This more has to do with the fact that people think the average player scores more than they do. But still
