Did you guys all know that Trocheck had 11G, 31 points (11 secondary assists) in 997 min. of 5v5 ice time last year and that Jordan "should be on the 4th line" Staal had 13G, 28P (8 secondary assists) in 987 min. of 5v5 ice time.
Most common line-mates:
Trocheck: Necas, Svechnikov, Teravainen
Staal: Fast, Niederreiter, Lorentz
Oh, forgot to mention that Staal's line faced the toughest competition and Trocheck's face the 2nd easiest (behind Kotkaniemi).
I also wonder the season split on Tro's 31 5v5 pts looked like. The 2nd half of the season it felt so frustrating to watch the Svech, Tro, Necas/TT line play 5v5 hockey on the back half. They just weren't getting enough done.

Also interesting discovery while looking at 5v5 stats...
Trocheck averaged 1.87 pts per 60 minutes
KK averaged 2.12 pts per 60 minutes (weaker line mates, but also weaker competition, that's promising)
------
Seth Jarvis was our #1 guy 5v5 with 2.33 per 60.
Nino was #2 with 2.26 per 60
Aho tied for #2 with Nino
-------
Patches last year scored 2.35 per 60 5v5, (This would be best on the Canes last year)
Burns last year scored at 1.02 per 60 5v5 (Pretty bad, would put him 5th on our team's defense last year. For reference Ian Cole scored at 1.01 per 60 5v5)
