How does the Avalanche middle-six scoring pedigree stack up?

I did a piece over on DobberProspects.com looking at the pedigree associated with second and third line forwards. These are the spots usually up for grabs in training camp for talented prospects ready to make the jump, but in many cases end up going to more veteran players. The article looks at the career-high totals of players on the 2nd and 3rd lines, to reveal that (spoilers) in most cases, 2nd line roles go to skaters who have scored at least 60 points at some point in their careers, and 3rd line roles are held by guys with a 35-40 campaign as their career-best.
