Likewise, Zherdev may not get 80, he may get 65.
But that also works in reverse. Hartnell may not get 50, he may get 60.

That's true. Typically, what we see with teams that are deep offensively is the secondary scoring picks up due primarily due to the fact that they tend to face lower quality opposition as they're used to key in on the top line(s).
With the scoring depth the Flyers have this year and Laviolette's offensively inclined (run & gun) system, it is expected that the Flyers will be a very tough team to contain. In addition, the number of quality 2 way players will make scoring a difficult task for the opposition.
What will be interesting to see is just how far Zherdev has come in his two way game and again, how consistent is his A game.
