If you are basing your player values on historical simple statistics only, you're not seeing the whole picture. With that said, if you are going to base player values solely on historical simple statistics, I can cherry pick too. Cammalleri is way more valuable than Gaborik based on the above.

Edit: Started working on this before I saw Trailer Fire use cherry picking, I swear I didn't cherry pick the term cherry pick!
I know we like to defend our own on here but when he is healthy Gaborik is a much better player than Cammalleri. He is just injury prone. If you could guarantee his health there is not a GM on the planet that would take Cammi over Gaborik.
