Honestly the absolutes and irrefutable conclusions some of these charts help people commit to are laughable at times IMO… so many variables not being considered too with the past two years being covid gongshows of seasons. Yes… 27 year old Sean Monahan has no chance of ever being the player he was at 18 because computer charts told me so… like that’s a bit much no? I think there is a damn good chance for Mony to still hit 25/25 or even 30/30 again in the right situation.
Look I love leaning into analytics, I love fancy stats and trying to understand them more and more and I do think there is a legitimate place for them but at the same time to write off Monahan as 3rd line fodder who will be lucky to score 20 goals based on those charts again is a laughable conclusion to me.
