    Hitchcock is making this Seguin's team. And here's a fun fact I didn't put in the column but just verified. No winger has ever scored 80 points on a team coached for a full season by Ken Hitchcock. Four times there've been 75-79 point scoring wingers, but not a single one has scored 80+. In fact, the only player ever to score more than 80 points on a Hitchcock team was Modano, hence my point about him shaping the team around Seguin, not Benn.

    Seguin is younger, but Benn is still the captain and tied with Klingberg for the team lead in points. Benn may not reach 80 pts, but I wouldn't say it's unattainable either.

    Of course it's not unattainable, but here's a list of wingers who didn't reach 80 points playing for Hitchcock: Tarasenko, Hull, Niewendyk, Recchi, and Nash, with Nash and Tarasenko being 100% in their prime at the time and as much of a focal point - if not more so - than Benn is today.

A counterargument is that Dallas will likely score more goals than the Blue Jackets and Blues did in those years, but I'm still very skeptical.

    Tarasensko has never scored 80 pts, Benn has. Don't have the numbers in front of me, but a bunch of those guys played in a different era.
