Jones recently scored 20 and 27. Now if he gets 15 it's "amazing"? Say what? Moss has scored 20 goals only once in his career.
Not sure I understand the thinking that has people writing him off as a 3rd or 4th liner. Looks like they're expecting him to be a top two liner.

For the record, he will be 29 before the season begins, so for all intents and purposes, we acquired a 29 year old player since he will play no games for us while he is 28.
And yes, if a typical player peaks at 25-27, then the typical player would be on the downswing of their prime at 29. How many average players post career highs after the age of 29 and 30?
