3 year recent splits is a commonly accepted amount of time to define a player's current skill level. It's a long enough period of time to remove statistical noise and helps define what a player is capable of doing.

The recent seasons peg backlund right at the 50 point average over 82 game mark that you are saying doesn't define him. It's a weird take and pretty basic analysis shows you are factually incorrect.

That he isnt consistently a 50 point player. What was being discussed.

If you want to claim he has been a 50ish pt player the last 3 years, great. If 3 years defines consistency of a 9 year career, then we are debating completely different things.

Pretty straight forward stuff.
