Which is stupid because I don't give two ####s about Trow Brouwer. You said my argument was ruined..somehow I don't think my argument is that controversial.
My argument is there are a lot of players who decline sharply in there 30's. Do you somehow disagree with that? Like what type of mental gymnastics do you need to take to arrive at what ever point you're trying to make.

When you said "Troy Brouwer was putting up 25 goals when he was 28" it made it sound like you were saying that was his normal pace.
You are using his max career production to condemn him for scoring less goals 3 years later. Without justifying where he played this year on the flames as opposed to the contending team he was on when he scored that many goals. That is important in this discussion.
I think we agree at the end of the day with the evaluation but one has to use practical sense when using stats to justify their position.
