When was the last true rookie to earn 25 points from the 4th line? or even the 3rd line.

I'm talking about getting the opportunity. I am responding to him, who seems to not even want to go up even if given the opportunity to play in a contributing role. A #4D true rookie defenseman can hit those numbers. Forwards are a different story, especially with how centers have to invest in face offs. Not always about the points, but if your entire build is geared towards points then you may not be in for a fun time. A true rookie could technically enter with what, 400ish TPE?


Pretty sure that no good true rookie forward in recent times have hit 25 points from any area, let alone 3rd/4th. Why? There are hardly any. When was the last high end forward prospect go straight to the SHL out of the draft?
