I would have liked it better if he had more than one datapoint. The conclusion that he makes stands and makes sense but it's a pretty useless chart from a data standpoint. n=1 tells me nothing.

Exactly

the chart does a bad job of demonstrating the point he is trying to make. Show 4-5 power forward types with similar drop offs - that’s helpful.

lucic’s trajectory pre drop looks nothing like Wilson’s. Wilson’s is a m shaped with a 22-23 net rating that is only slightly below his 25 y/o season. The actual decline is entirely projection.
Its completely useless.

ForumIce: hey guys ever notice how guys like Lucic tucker clarkson fall off a cliff in their late 20s more often?

Dom: hey look here's some proof that that happens

FI: lol nerd

Sure thing.

1 data point = 100% accuracy every time

I agree, but if he did list 4-5 power forwards, they probably track similar to Lucic. And Wilson is probably destined to do the same, though I have no idea what his projected drop off is based on. Because also, every so often there’s a Gary Roberts too.

Not to be confused with Gary Roberts stew, which is Zeke’s favorite stew.

Roberts retired for 18 months at a pretty young age. That may have helped him a lot.

I didn't get his name but the Homer media people from other city treated as knowledgeable in interviews on Toronto radio are funny. The Caps guy said he thought Wilson would get a lot more money.

He also declined from being a 40/90 guy to a 25/45 guy.

He didn't age super gracefully, he just started his decline as a star LW

holy shit. I just looked up the contract.

7 x $6.5 mill annually until 2030-31.

this contract is fucking insane.

Must be really good at planning parties

Nobody... not even Mike Liut would have correctly guessed Mike Liut for the '80s.

Yea that was a shocker

 

[JackBurton]

I would have thought Fuhr based on the Oilers. Dude could be horrible in a game and still get a W

 

[Habsy]

Well it's a little ambiguous as it goes by decade. Some great goalies only played part of the 80s because their career started earlier on in the 70s.

Still, wouldn't have guessed Liut

 

[CH1]

Quebecers used to be good at goalkeeping

 

[MindzEye]

Used to be good at the rest of hockey too.

So dubas got told no by all the people he wanted, and ended up hiring a guy he fired a year ago?

 

[soco22]

He’s likely realizing there’s a tax to living in Pittsburgh when not a front runner for the cup. Wonder if ownership will put in the same dollars as MLSE for off-ice - even though they have the $$$ to do so.

 

[blkngldbabe]

Ok moron

Seriously? So because someone isn’t on board with your discomfort with a term, you decide to use a term clearly known to be uncool on a board with someone who has a child with Down syndrome. On purpose. Pretty gross dude. And very petty. Do better. You can’t drag everyone to be on board with what you feel but when “trying to reach a moral language high ground” maybe have some awareness.

Pridham turning him down must have hurt
