Thread: oh yes she will be mine
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>On the contrary . . . career PPG is an excellent way to determine player value when the three similar-aged players concerned all have 5 seasons in. Cam Atkinson has 13 seasons in 14 years and is 34 years old, so the comparison is so unrelated as to be intellectually dishonest.</div></div>

Young players fall off sometimes.

Using an example that hits close to home, Galchenyuk was only 25 when he completely fell off. Using the career ppg to determine his value back in 2020 would have been completely deceiving for teams, as they would have paid a 1st+ for a guy that was worth approximately a 3rd at the time of the PIT-MIN deal.

Using the ppg of the last 2-3 years is a good indicator, but not the whole career.

Thread: My Crack at it
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GDubb2Shiesty</b></div><div>I think MTL is in a tough spot unless Demidov falls to 5 which seems highly unlikely. I think they go Iginla, but i'd have a tough time picking Lindstrom over Catton since Catton had similar a similar goal pace and a higher assist rate than Lindstrom. Adding the injury concerns, I think Gorton and Hughes stay away from him in the top 5. His ceiling is insanely high but the risk might not be worth it with Iginla or Catton there</div></div>

I somewhat agree, with the risk actually being risky. But Catton is absolutely not the type of guy MTL likes. He's a lower-intensity guy, and will likely be a poor playoff performer. There are risks with Lindstrom's injury being chronic, but with the ceiling he has, I don't think MTL passes on that. I think if they were to pass on him, it would be for Iginla, who fits in way more than Catton
