I'm going to help you out here since you either missed this part or weren't able to comprehend it. See below quote from article. Same skill level yet one group gets traded 1/2 the time and the other 1/3 of the time. Happy to help.

Once again, it is hard to reconcile the stark difference in outcomes between the groups when the difference in on ice impacts are minimal at best (the average WAR of the moved players was roughly the same across all groups).


Next, your demonstrably false narrative of skill level does not address why there are so few black centremen, or why black players are frequently deemed not smart enough to play centre and moved to different positions at young ages instead of being patiently developed in their preferred position.
