Congrats to Dubi. Besides about a 5 game stretch after he came back from his injury, his play has been really strong and consistent all year long. I have no doubt he will score 60 plus points next year.
Dubinsky is awesome and I'm glad people are finally realizing just how good of a player he is. He's so ridiculously good along the boards and facilitates so many goals that way
I don't know about anyone else but I've been long waiting for this. It's a barometer for me when it comes to a player,the team, and their depth.
This season we have Gaborik who has done it before, Dubinsky, Prospal( who would have gotten 50 points per his pace and did it last season), and Callahan who would've smashed it. That's 4 players.
Next season I see Anisimov cracking 50, and possibly Stepan.
Wolski has 32 points in 65 games. He has also gotten a 50 point season(in COL) and many 45+pt seasons with less than 82 games being played. He too should be in the mix.
For next season....
I think you have a possibility of having 6 players cracking 50+ points
I think you have a good chance of having 5 players with 50+ points next season.
........You have a great chance of seeing 4 players w/ 50+ points
........You have a lock for 3 players having 50+ points
So on and so forth...
If we add Richards to the mix without messing with much of the names above, that obviously changes the equation and bumps up the chances/amount of players.
If Brad Richards is his center next year, 70 points.
I dont think Richards would center the 3rd line, which is where Cally and Dubi belong. I know they think they are top 6 F's and wish to be paid as such, but they aren't so I hope we keep them for the money they are making.

I dont think two players that reach 50+ points while not even in their primes yet are considered thrid line players. They are 2nd line players borderline 1st on a great day. If you think these are 3rd line players, then you should have your head examined

Wait, what? Maybe in an uncapped league on an absolutely stacked team. In a capped league on even a good team, those guys are second liners. How many freaking 3rd liners put up 50 points and play in all situations?
And... if he wasn't such a dope on the ice in certain situations, he would have 60-70 points. I know he does a lot (gritty play, faceoffs, etc.) for this team, but I just wish the light would finally go on for this kid. The only positive that I can continue to tell myself is that he has improved every season.
if he wasn't injured he be at 60 or 65. Poor kid was on fire when hurt. I said last summer and was screamed off this board he is a kessel type and stats are going to start to look a lot a like without the injury they on pace at same point in career
