Interesting chart, but where is the factor for average career length? Does this graph only show players who have played from ages 20-40 for a career or does it include all players who played the NHL average of 5.65 seasons? Basically if players start at age 21 and play the average career they will be out of the league at 26-27 years old and their highest production levels will sway the graph. Unless there is a graph for every player in the league it will sway the average because there are fewer players contributing in their early to mid 30's.
