It seems like mentally some pundits haven't realized what lower scoring levels means.
O'Reilly, since being used on a scoring line from 2011 and forward, is 33rd in center PPG with a 57 point pace.
There are only 15 centers on a 70 point pace and six centers that are PPG (Crosby, Malkin, Stamkos, Giroux, Tavares, Bäckström).
Add that O'Reilly is better defensively than most than a handful of the centers above him and it's bizarre to call him a third line center. If he's one Backes, Plekanec, Kesler also are.
Last season, there were under 25 centers with 60 or more points.
By the time I got to the top 50 scoring centers last year, I was getting into the lower 40s in points.
Ferraro just did a Chambers - throw some **** out there publicly without checking his facts. Simple facts to check, too.

Penguins trade Marcel Goc to St Louis for Max Lapierre
I like Goc more than Lapierre, but doesn't St Louis already have too many centers?
Who cares. Anything to get that ******* off your team has to be a huge boost to the locker room.
