You’re right, I shouldn’t just gift your 30pt player an additional 9 points. My mistake. Nino played the same amount of games as Anderson, scored more points, had 1 fewer goal, and OVERALL played roughly 200 fewer minutes. Not to mention it was a year to forget for him after he broke his leg near the beginning of the year and was clearly playing injured once he returned. Prior to that he had three straight seasons of 20 or more goals. Granlund has back-to-back seasons of 20+ goals. Anderson has never hit 20 real goals but queue the excuse train for that in 3, 2, 1...Dont use pace... pace is an estimate not an accurate number. The guy gets no PP minutes and put up 19 goals whilst missing about an entire 1/4 of the year. And your using Points Im using goals. Thos isnt just an Anderson thing look through my posts I am a firm believer in goals being more important than assists. So what are granlunds goals the past 2 years. Anderson had 19 while never playing above the 3rd line his 1st year then his 2nd year stilll with 0 PP he missed 1/4 and still put up the same amount again showing just how good he is that he can consistently score ES and was able to improve his goal scoring from the year before. Much Like Atkinson who gets no credit he has scored 20+ goals in like 6 or so consecutive years but has gotten more then the previous year every time except this past year where he missed also 1/4 of the year with a broken foot and his goals per game was close to being a 7th year in a row of improvement. People focus too much on points instead of goals ESPECIALLY wingers.
Anderson isn’t better than or equal to Nino and he sure as hell isn’t equal to Granlund.
