I think it has a lot to do with using the average production over the last 3 years.
Tier 3 has several guys that were Tier 1 in their prime: Malkin(39), Stamkos(35), and are a bit older now.
Arguably Kopitar was very close to Tier 1, and definitely a Tier 2, but he's 38. Tavares, Zabinejad, were Tier 2 at their peak.
At the same time Celebrini, and Bedard are just starting their careers, and will likely advance in the tier list.
So yeah it's skewed by players past their prime, and ones that have yet to enter it.
