This just screams of someone who has never watched Panarin. 30-year-old Atkinson is on pace for 88 points and over fifty goals and a second year player is on pace for 79 points largely because of Panarin. Panarin will score some goals, sure, but that's one of the last things that makes him elite and just looking up a singular stat is disingenuous, especially since you intentionally omitted his total points & assists, not to mention he's on pace for over 90 points himself.
Again, they may not hit this, but the points themselves are not really the... well... point of my argument. He elevates everyone around him, and that's why he'll easily get 10 million as a UFA.
