What does it tell us?

One thing that stands out to me is that the peak is shifted slightly from the general consensus. Hawerchuk previously found that points-per-game peaked at age 25, but it looks like points-per-minute peaks at age 24, at least for forwards.

That discrepancy isn't hard to explain -- players get less ice time early in their careers, which suppresses their per-game scoring.
