While this is all true, only a select few will follow a player on a team other then their favorite to the extent to really know his full attributes. You'll get more when you watch him game in and out and not from sporadic games here and there, other posters with an axe to grind or fluff pieces.
Some of you will be well versed on the likes of Kessel, but not all. Thousands of posts mean nothing. I have 38,000+ and I don't know all the inner workings of all the stars. To think so would be very foolish. That's the very reason this site exists. To know them all in depth would mean I spend way too much time on here, more than I already do.
So, it may not help you per se, but....
The Coyotes have had one 30 goal scorer in the last 7 years. No 20 goal scorer last year.
Fans know what they are getting, you just never realized how low the bar was.
