Old habbits should not take the better part of 2 months plus training camp to break when you're talking multi million dollar players

The example from the article quoted that "In the 13 cases below, that moment came somewhere between 12 and 22 games with the median being around the 18-game mark.". So in the 13 cases with NHL teams the median was around 18 games. These were all teams with players who made millions and played under different systems. You could argue 13 cases is a small sample, and they may not have all had a training camp, but the statistics make the case that 20 games isn't ridiculous in this situation.
