Hmm... And I'm biased?
Cue Some analytical argument how Turris ice time does not count and Stepan actually played more per game three of the last four seasons
12/13 - just look at the two teams. turris had alfie, a young zibby and....colin greening? as offensive support. stepan had nash, richards, callahan, gaborik, brassard, zuccarello. not to mention the lockout year had people posting weird offensive numbers.
13/14 - both played full seasons and turris outscored stepan by one point.
14/15 - stepan's season shortened due to injury. IF he had kept his pace for the rest of the season, stepan would have outscored turris by two points.
15/16 - i believe i read a comment from a rangers fan that stepan was injured earlier in the season. i can't remember what he said it was, but i know it was upper body. ribs maybe? i'm sure it effected his game. we know what went on with turris. i'm not sure who's game would be thrown off more by their injury. if we take the best splits from both, stepan outscores turris by two points. two points is close enough for me to say the difference is negligible because the numbers are based of paces.
conclusion: stepan isn't healthy enough for his marginal AT BEST offensive advantage on turris for someone to make a comment like:
Since the lockout
Stepan
270GP 209Pts (0.77PPG)
Turris
269GP 181Pts (0.67PPG)
So Turris will need to step it up a bit and match what Stepan did
also, the paces do not show the actual impact on the ice since stepan isn't on it as much. also, if we take out the lockout year and use the paces i have (including best split paces for last season)
turris - 64 points/82 games (0.788)
stepan - 65 points/82 games (0.801)
also take into account that stepan has, in actual nhl seasons and actual nhl points, only outscored turris once since the season after the lockout year, and it was this past season.
needless to say, the tandem with brassard will work out just as well if not better than the tandem in new york
