"METEORIC RISE,ONLY TO PLUMMET TO EARTH QUICKLY" TEAM

2 DEF ---- Jim Benning

G ---- Jim Carey

 

Interesting stuff. I would replace Rob Brown with Travor Linden on your squad though. It's a pretty safe assumpition that Rob wouldn't have ever got those totals were it not for the fact that his centreman was Mario Lemieux. Linden at least earned his points playing on a very mediocre Canucks squad with not a whole lot of help.

 

I personally am of the mind to elect the 1997 Calder trophy winning rookie of the year: Bryan Berard

1997 NYI 14 32 46 -32
1998 NYI 4 11 15 -6
1998 TOR 5 14 19 7
1999 TOR 3 27 30 11
2001 NYR 2 21 23 -1

His injury was a factor, but he clearly plummeted.

 

It's based on percentage of career points earned while under 22 years old. Berard earned roughly 109 of his 266 points while under the age of 22. That would be 40.98% of his points. There are two players with much higher percenatages.

 

If use "Adjusted Points" and estimate for age (anybody born prior to 1 July for a given year has their birthday counted in that year, and anybody born on or after that date have their birthday counted in the next year)

Ah good ol' Jimmy... too bad he was such a dink, because he was a pretty good hockey player.

Although I do think 22 is too young... I mean some guys on the list (i.e. Heatley, Havlat) haven't really dropped at all, they are still just too young.
