Roenick's 5 best offensive seasons he scored 489 points in 402 games (1.22 PPG)
Turgeon's 5 best offensive seasons he scored 522 points in 389 games (1.34 PPG)
Okay, so you've taken Turgeon's stats from 1990, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1996 without any context. (For Roenick you took 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 2000 season - the latter of which was from a much lower-scoring era than any of those five years you used for Turgeon - and again 1993 was Turgeon's best season, and only 5th best for Roenick in terms of where he ranked in the scoring race, so the adjustment for 1993 would have a much larger impact on Turgeon).
The fact that you're continuing to take the raw data without adjusting it (even after this has been explained to you four times) tells me that you're not interested in a serious discussion. You appear to simply be trying to promote your viewpoint using whatever means you can - regardless of whether you're doing so in an honest way.
Here's the irony:
Adjusted for era, Weight scored 295 goals in 1238 games (0.24 goals per game)
Richards netted 337 goals in 1126 games (0.30 goals per game)
If my math is correct, that's a difference of less than 5 goals per 82 game season
In another thread, you seem to casually understand and accept the validity of adjusting stats. So it's not a matter of you not understanding or not accepting the concept - you're content to do this when other players are involved, but apparently not for Turgeon.
Good luck with this approach. I have better things to do with my time.
