Luckily I didn't say either of those things.
I said it may never happen. I said that those that think that's that are completely understandable.
What I did say is that there are measures that suggest the book hasn't been written ... so to say there is no reason to believe there may be more is actually hyperbole, because there is.
Your need to continue to spew counting stats seems off base in response to what I said.
I guess you have a reflex action to the word Bennett that has you just respond the same way to everyone.
As to context ... 750 is a logical cut off point to get the league's full roster of forwards over that time period. It was an attempt to just give pure data without sample sizes getting in the way. By describing exactly what I did I provided 100% context for what I posted.

Anyone who thinks a 23yo everyday NHL player who has failed to live up to his immense potential can't someday figure it out is being too shortsighted.
I'm not saying it will happen or even that its likely but it still can happen.
The NHL is littered with players who didn't figure things out until their mid 20's.
The important thing is he can provide certain intangibles and is still effective enough to play each night on any NHL roster - even if its just on the 4th line in Calgary currently.
