Adding to the comments on assists, I took a quick look at last season's CCHA and NHL stats. If 2 points were awarded for a goal and 1 for an assist, there would certainly be some change among the individual point leaders -- but not as much as some might think. The top 5 CCHA scorers would remain unchanged, and the *new* top 5 NHL scorers were all in the established top 7. Given the option, who would prefer Brett Hull over Mario Lemieux? 1991-92 CCHA Scoring Leaders Name Team GM G A PTS New Rank Denny Felsner Michigan 44 42 52 94 136 1 Dwayne Norris Michigan State 44 44 39 83 127 2 Peter White Michigan State 44 26 51 77 103 3 Brian Wiseman Michigan 44 27 44 71 98 4 Bryan Smolinski Michigan State 44 30 35 65 95 5 1991-92 NHL Scoring Leaders Name Team GM G A PTS New Rank Mario Lemieux Pittsburgh 64 44 87 131 175 3 Kevin Stevens Pittsburgh 80 54 69 123 177 2 Wayne Gretzky Los Angeles 74 31 90 121 152 5 Brett Hull St Louis 73 70 39 109 179 1 Luc Robitaille Los Angeles 80 44 63 107 151 6 Mark Messier New York R 79 35 72 107 142 9 Jeremy Roenick Chicago 80 53 50 103 156 4 John H U Mich
