Hopefully the lines are more accurate this time around
1. (Guentzel - Crosby - Sheary, Hornqvist - Malkin - Kessel) - 66.42%
1. (Guentzel - Crosby - Sheary, Hornqvist - Malkin - Kessel) - 66.42%

Dallas is #2 just because of the top end talent they have IMO. If Radulov could put up 54 points while playing with Phillip Danault, how much could he produce with Benn and Seguin? Plus they have a very good 2nd line with Spezza and Hanzal being the two big guys there.
if Kessel could put up 80 points while centered by Bozak, how much could he produce with Crosby and Malkin?
If James Neal could put up 55 points with Ribiero, how many points could he produce with Crosby and Malkin?
Your point doesn't prove a thing.
neither does yours. Hockey is a bit more complex than "good player + good player = more points!!"
A lot more players see an improvement in points when playing with better linemates than players who don't see an improvement in points.
Radulov is going from playing with a 3rd line center to playing with a top-10 (closer to top-5) center in all of hockey, plus he's going to be playing with one of the top-3 wingers in hockey. How can you possibly even begin to argue he's not going to see an increase in production from that? Just because Kessel didn't improve in production, Radulov won't improve?

Maybe because it's possible that it doesn't work?
Have you ever thought that it might be possible that Radulov isn't going to have chemistry with Seguin and/or Benn?
Maybe he won't be a good fit? There are plenty of reasons why he may not. I don't see why you can't admit it's not a sure thing
I don't even see why it matters with Radulov. Janmark and Hanzal on the second line kicks them out of #2.
The other guy is a Winnipeg fan, though (MardyBum)? I have no problem with other teams like Winnipeg or Tampa ranking above the Leafs. I don't think Dallas deserves second thoughIt's entirely possible they don't have chemistry, but even with poor chemistry, I'm willing to bet Radulov with Seguin is going to produce more than Radulov with Daneault. Seguin might not have the impact on Radulov that Malkin had on Neal, but I'm not going to base my predictions at this point that they're not going to fit well together.
Yeah, it's entirely possible he won't be a good fit. It's also true that the line is so ridiculously talented that they'll most likely be able to produce a lot of points even if they don't fit well together.
I find it funny that Leafs fans are the ones arguing me on this. I wonder why

Hanzal is a wildcard because of how injury prone he is, it's impossible to tell how much he'll produce because he can play in as little as like 35 games in a season. Janmark also missed all of last year, so I think he falls in that category as well.
