Look at individual stats from last year and it's not impressive. Hansen 3rd in points, burr 4th, mayray 6th and Kesler who played 17 games had 13p (2 less than Higgins)
Mayray gone, burr and Hansen missing and the Sedins injured spelled doom. After 48 games this season I'd like to compare the stats and say we were still in par or better than last year (and we arent in the weak NW division anymore)
