40 point player's salary

The more preposterous the original post, the better the responses.

This stipulation reminds me of a classic HF thread where it was "A 50 goal player with zero assists vs A 70 assist player with zero goals" and some people actually preferred the 50 goal player

So Henrik Sedin vs. some player that doesn't exist?

I see how your new scenario is possible. Primary+second assists on every goal with assists efficiently distributed between wingers. Either 70 assist winger is still responsible for the creation of more goals than either 50 goal center is, however

Actually they are not. Getting an assist does not mean that particular assist would have been essential for the team to score goals.

Quiz part two: next year the same team continues with the same amount of goals scored. Both centers get 50 goals each. Same wingers, but this time they got no assists at all. No-one in the team has any assists. Zero. Nada. But the team still wins. How it is possible?

And the final quiz : next season both the centers are injured. No goals. No assists. No points. No wins.

Conclusion. The 50 goal scorers are great players and without them the team wouldn’t have gotten any goals or wins. The wingers might also be great players, but if they can’t score goals or have anyone with them who are able to score, it doesn’t matter how good passers they might be. No-one scores, thus no wins for the team.

Of course in reality things are not like this, but neither are 50+0 or 0+70 players... well, 0+70 might.

It's like we're describing Lucic...just without the goals.

Winning the cy young would drastically increase his asking price..

More than you will ever make.

40 goal seasons, fewest assists

Holy f*** Nash getting 41 goals and 16 assists in 03-04 is insane.

Are a third of his goals ENG?

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

4 mill. 1 mill per 10 points. If the player is just a goal scorer and nothing else, it's still just 40 points.

McDavid isn't a 125 point player.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Whatever it is, it’s a short-term deal.

2 x $7.5 or something.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

what nationality and age is the hypothetical player

Is he a good ol' Canadian boy?

What if he's a Doukhobor?

 

[Jozay]

4.5-5 million if he went to free agency

 

[gumgum]

What if he's a Doukhobor?

pending a blood test the aav of the deal may rise or fall

Considering secondary assists are largely luck I don't see the problem choosing 50 goals over ~50 primary apples

I wouldn't say that at all.
