Mangiapane is a 26 year old player who is going to be worse than he was when he was 23, that is tough to do.
But if we are using entire career averages then
Lucic is significantly below is career average

Oh no… the Lucic that is basically keeping a 4th line spot on good will alone is below his career average. Fire everyone…
If you want to pick and choose “well if you look at these few years or those few years and if you look at what he was on pace for in this season but his actuals in that season” then you’re just going to land on whatever answer you want to land on, and at that point go nuts, I’m not worried about convincing you.
Take Lindholm out and call him “putrid” for being on the same pace as his third best season in terms of pace, go nuts. That’s still 4 guys at or above their career best and 4 guys at or well above their career average. Outside of picking and choosing stats, I’m not seeing a majority of under performers, and 4 players having their best seasons is a pretty generous “almost” in terms of Sutter getting the best out of nobody. But beat that drum if you like the sound.
