People's perception of what a top line player are is grossly out of line.
#1 forward (1-30) - 65 points, 67 points, 66 points, 69 points, 73 points
#2 forward (31-60) - 56 points, 59 points, 57 points, 57 points, 60 points
#3 forward (61-90) - 48 points, 51 points, 49 points, 51 points, 51 points
#4 forward (91-120) - 41 points, 44 points, 45 points, 44 points, 45 points
#5 forward (121-150) - 37 points, 37 points, 39 points, 38 points, 41 pints
#6 forward (151-180) - 32 points, 32 points, 34 points, 33 points, 35 points
Those are the point totals for the 30th ranked player for each slot over the last 5 full 82-game seasons (13-14, 11-12, 10-11, 09-10, 08-09).
You don't get to build a team with a top line of 80 point players, and a second line of 60 point players. You get maybe 1 PPG player (2 if you are lucky), 2 0.5-0.7 PPG players and a bunch of guys in the 30 point range on a good team.
Taking it further you have few players who fit that scoring mold AND match up defensively with their offensive production.
