I disagree when it comes to being good enough to win a cup. Top 5v5 regular season scorers from recent cup winners

PIT: Crosby, Sheary, Malkin, Kassel
WSH: Ovi, Kuznetzov, Backstrom
STL: ROR, Tarasenko, Schenn,
TBL: Kucherov, Point, Stamkos,
TBL: Point, Gourde, Palat (Kucherov didn't play the regular season, Stamkos missed a lot of games)
COL: MacKinnon, Kadri, Burakovsky, Ratanaen

That's not to say there aren't more than one way to win a cup and balance is definitely a good thing, but IMO, we need our more elite talent to score more 5v5, particularly in the playoffs, if we want to go far.

On the season, Necas, Svech and Aho are near the top on the Canes on the whole season, but they've tailed off to a rate that good enough IMO. Our best 5v5 scorer among NHL forwards is Martinook at 75th.

Anyone in the top 75 who seems availableish in a trade?

So the PP is complete whale shit, and Necas, Svech, and Aho have less 5 v 5 points than Martinook yet they are all in the PPG neighborhood? This doesn’t compute.

It certainly does compute.

1) Aho is the only one in the PPG neighborhood. Necas has 42 points in 47 Games. Svech has 37 points in 47 games. You might argue Necas is in the neighborhood, but Svech certainly isn't.
2) Aho missed 7 out of 47 games so his totals are affected by that (which I stated in my post).
3) While the PP is shit, Necas, Aho and Svech do have 14, 12, and 9 points on the PP. The PP can be bad and players still add to their points totals.
4) Necas (3), Svech (2), and Aho (1) have OT points, where Martinook doesn't play.
5) Aho also has 4 SH points.
6) Against an EN (5v6) and with a goalie pulled (6v5) is not counted in 5v5 stats.

From what I can tell, here's a breakout of their scoring:

Aho: 40GP / 41P: 21 5v5, 9 PP, 4 SH, 2 EN (5v6), 3 W/EN (6v5), 1 OT, 1 4v4
Svech: 47GP/ 37P: 21 5v5, 12 PP, 2 OT, 2 W/EN (6v5)
Necas: 47GP/ 42P: 22 5v5, 14 PP, 3 OT, 2 W/EN (6v5), 1 SH,
Martinook: 47GP/23P: 22 5v5, 0 PP, 0 OT, 1 EN (5v6)
