This is your own personal opinion, not necessarily the truth.
Last season O'Reilly was better than both of them and also proving to be a very good linemate to Landeskog, a great match.
O'Reilly and Landeskog are NOT the same kind of players as Statsny and Duchene, that's for sure, they are different type of players, I can agree with that.
Many differences, RoR and Lando are not very flashy but they do bring heart, grit and toughness.

Everything is opinion. Saying Crosby is better offensively than Parros is an opinion, but doesn't make it less true. Duchene has had a 67 point season (with 27 goals) and Stastny has had multiple 70 points seasons and 1 season with less than 20 goals (he was injured. ROR has yet to score more than 55 points and has never broke 20 goals. ALL signs point to Stastny and Duchene being better offensively.
ROR barely had more points than Stastny last season. Stastny played 2 less games, didn't have the best winger on the team next to him, scored more goals, and had a much better shooting percentage. Duchene was hurt and got juggled around for pretty much the whole season, I think he is much closer to the first two years of his career than last year.
