If you expect Granlund to get more goals than Ovi and a rookie that put up 40 goals i don't know what to say. Granlund is a playmaker and everyone knows that. There were many goals last year that Granlund created by setting the player up to score that was all him. You said top 20 points not top goal scorers
EDIT: You brought up 20 top players in points for a year then changed it to goal scoring and players that scored more points with 60 games.
Tiebreakers exist for a reason. Here they are so you can get educated:
1. The player with the most goals.
2. If both have the same number of goals, then the player with the fewest games played.
3. If both have the same number of goals and games played, the the player that scored first during the regular season.
Per these rules and the way NHL ranks players - he didn't finish in the Top 20.
Regardless, such a small hill to make your argument from considering Granlund is not a superstar, never has been, and never will be.
As history has shown, very few teams, if any, win without a superstar player. The Wild don't have one.
