That's surprisingly decent for Turris, who at times it felt went weeks without scoring a point.

Oh absolutely. We can't get much from just Hoffman alone, but it is a much more interesting piece to a potential suitor than say a Michalek. Hoffman has more value than you might think, IMO, and I'm trying not to use my homer glasses. He's on a 30 goal pace.
He's a great roster piece in a pick+prospect+roster player deal.
He was always like that. I remember his droughts seemed to last forever back in the lockout season. As long as he makes back the points when he is going again its all good.
I felt the same, I think he is just better suited to play No 2 C. He is not a big guy, and best at scoring on the rush, down low he gets out muscled quite a bit. Plus, this year, terrible shooting % for him, which is surprising since he has a great shot.
It would be interesting to see how these paces look when prorated with TOI. Maybe Turris' surprising pace wouldn't look so good then? And conversely maybe Ceci would look better? I mean Karlsson plays half the game on the RD side.
Stone has sneakily compiled a very nice tally either way. I love this Hoffman - Stone tandem and I wonder if there's some rivalry/competition between them, which can only be a good thing.
Need a LD point threat. Zibby will need to be better but hes trending in the right direction. Maybe one more proven forward who can put up 60 point.
Thanks to your link I found it! Ranked by Points/60:I was actually trying to find a way to do this without putting too much time and found this :

Legwand plays the PP though, and most of his goals have come on the PP.Good job!
Hoffman is kinda underrated which is surprising with the way he skates and shoots the puck, and his stick skills. I found he was underrated in the trade talks for Evander Kane. I think I'd rather have Hoffman personally.
And looks like Legwand is also underrated here. Guy has played mostly in a defensive role and he's producing decent offense, same as MacArthur, Chiasson and Karlsson.
Also, very promising about Stone and Zibanejad. If they continue to progress and if we can upgrade a player like Michalek or even MacArthur to one of the level of Bobby Ryan, it'll look very good.
And many wildcards in Puempel, Prince, Paul, Lidberg, Perron, etc.

I like how this ranking shows how Ryan is clearly our offensive game-breaker, and how much Hoffman and Stone have contributed. I'm more impressed by Stone given that he doesn't get the benefit of playing on a line with Ryan.
I'm a bit disappointed by where Karlsson ranks, given how much time he spends on the PP. I think more than anything it's indicative of the fact that our PP sucks and, as Wesa and you pointed out, we really need a good LD for our PP. I'd still like to see Cowen given a shot there from time to time.
