Maybe. I can see that. Reinbacher has size though... Which might play into it.

Built up 17 to 19 to 27 then spent a year on LTIR before coming back
Built up 17 to 19 to 18 and counting with 19 games left

You argued injuries plural
I argue its singular and injuries havent sidelined him long enough to impart anything you asserted.

We can argue a lot about Anderson but using his healthy is not based on facts or the results he's put up.
Anyone who can read a basic stats sheet can see the trend.
the only way you dont get it is if you applid 82 game season to the pandemic year .
Since leading CBJ he's miss 4 games , 13 games and 2 games are the numbers for each of the 3 seasons in MTL.
I can provide times and dates but really it would be easiest to just use the site your on to confirm it

I would love to see us trade the Florida pick for 2 bottom 12 picks and pickup those 2 players.

You can’t fool me with the size excuse anymore everyone knows Axel is more gifted

In terms of pure skill, I don't think either project beyond a 3/4 damn in the NHL.

I think the Habs pickup the one that they think will best compliment Barron & Mailloux. We already have Harris & Hutson long term at D. It's a lot of smaller bodies to add ASP. Unless they really see him as a top pair guy, at which point they maybe pick him up.

Depends on Livingstone
We get him it changes a lot
IMO we'd start taking the best players in NCAA and Liiga to avoid signing rights
It will help MTL stay more flexible in the coming years contract wise where even with Veterans leaving its starting to get tight as youth overachieve.

There's a difference between benchmarks and player evaluation.
When you are looking at records where you have to reach a threshold, you evaluate by total without context. There are strict criteria involved.
Player scouting/evaluations are more fluid. We don't call players 17 goal scorers, or 28 goal scorers, we round off and/or use 82 game pace. It's standard practice.

So what is the arbitrary number of seasons you need to reach 20 goals or more to be considered a "20 goal scorer"?
Doing it once gets you into the club, but you're saying that's not enough. Is 20 this season enough? Or did he get kicked out of the club because he missed the mark by 1 or 2 goals a couple of times?
Do you have to get 20 goals every single season to keep your 20 goal scorer status? Do they give you an award for hitting 20 goals and then come take it away if you only score 19 next year?
Do GMs or Media have to pay a fine if they refer to a player as a 20 goal scorer in an article or press statement if that player doesn't currently have 20 goals?

If you are going to set it as a hard line, there have to be hard rules, which isn't practical when used simply as a descriptor of a player's ability. That's why I say it is technical vs. practical.
It's not practical to describe a player as an 18 goal scorer, and it's less accurate to describe them as a 15 goal scorer than as a 20 goal scorer. The guy who scores 20 goals in 82 games isn't better than the guy who scores 19 goals in 62 games, so why pretend differently?

It's in the wording, you're calling him a consistent 20 goal scorer when he had hit that mark once in 6 seasons. That isn't consistently.

However, if you are putting all your valuation into his goals per 60, then by default you have to agree that of his minutes go up, his goals go up and of his minutes go down his goals go down.

Again a team that is not going to give him those minutes or opportunities world not view him as a 20 goal scorer as he won't get the ice time to get to those numbers. Why would you pretend otherwise when your argument is based on his scoring rate?
