Point is underrated, in my eyes he is a fringe top 5C in the league.

The amount of people ranking a 37 year old Crosby ahead of him heading into this season was a bit of a head scratcher.

Crosby is still elite especially his season last year, I'm not sure Point is scoring 90+ points in his shoes

His playoff game goes to another level. When he went down in the cup final against the avs, the Lightning were truly without their most clutch player there. If he was in Lightning could have won 3 in a row. He was that important to the team and that should alone make his name bigger for the league because he was really important for the back2backs. Such a clutch player when things matter most. He really should get more love.

He plays a much more reckless, attacking style in the playoffs. It definitely leads to a higher risk of injury. If I'm not mistaken, he wound up injured in both cup runs, and quite often before and since.

That said, come playoff time, he's usually the most dangerous guy on the ice. Not always. But he's done it enough that it's pretty much expected.

Nah Avs would've still smoked you. They were that good

Long season, sample size yadda yadda. 18 goals in 21 games is pretty good. Higher than his normal shooting percentage, but his regular shooting percentage is rather high already.

But this is a crazy stat line. Scored 50 goals quietly a couple years back, and damn near it last season. I feel like this guy is known to be great when he’s actually brought up.

But he just doesn’t get brought up in conversation as frequently as similarly or less talented guys, so here’s some love. Having himself a season.
And some ranger fans thought people were nuts to trade the 2nd overall pick for Point. Turned out those beans for Kakko was not magic after all.

Whenever the Leafs played the Lightning in the playoffs he along with Kucherov were the players I feared most. Both have this uncanny knack of turning a game's momentum on a dime. It's almost unfair to point to a sudden death goal as a momentum swinger, but I still dread the OT goal he put past Campbell. And he plays the game the right way.

In other words, I can't stand the guy!

When Kuch is firing on all cylinders, Point gets a ton of points. When Kuch is not there, Point is a little under a ppg player. While a much, much better player than Hyman, both players get a significant point boost from the superstar they play with.

As good as Kucherov is in the playoffs the gap between them shrinks considerably compared to the regular season.
