But since you declared "facts", as the basis for your argument, lets look at ALL the "facts" shall we?
He is a career 41 point player in an 82 game season. Full stop. 9 seasons of data...not 3.
THIS season he is on pace for...47 pts which is not a 50 point pace, though its close enough to not quibble. That however is much more likely to decline than go up.
Does he get better as he gets to 30 years old? Possible but very unlikely. I can see him having a better year next year however, depending on if he gets to hold on to Tkachuk on his left side or not. MT is the guy that drives the offense on that line.
The money for the first couple years is great. The money in 3 or 4 years is very likely going to be something that hurts the club, which is what Brad Marsh is saying. Term is too long. I happen to agree as many others do. Its OK to discuss that is it not?

Yes, those are facts too. And I also said that the term was a bit long and that he probably won't be earning his salary at the end. I am more than happy to discuss all aspects of the contract rationally.
But I was specifically responding to something the other poster said. And I stated a specific fact which directly rebutted what he claimed. He then claimed that I was making things up. Thus myreply.
