A bad season on the worst team in the league and he still has an average of 60 points/82 games after entering the league as an 18 year old, but somehow he's a 50 point guy while the player with a career high of 36 points is going to be better. Okay.
I know what he was. My post was about what he is (I said 50-55 points, if you want to quote correctly, and I'm not calculating it over 80 games when he, like most guys, often plays a few less than that every year). Which includes, BTW, the fact that his 30 goal season was his absolute highest, not counting lockout year. And the fact that even in that season he had 59 points. He had 18/41 last year. He had 21/55 three years ago.

And yes, the 26 year old playing top minutes is not going to get better while the 20 year old who has not had the same minutes yet is, IMO.
