Calling Travis Konecny a 60-point player is either bad math or intentionally manipulating stats to fit a narrative. Over the last two seasons+ this one, he's been producing at a point-per-game pace, even while playing on a struggling Flyers team that’s only now starting to show promise. That’s not the profile of a "60-point player." It's like calling Mark Stone a 40-point player based on cherry-picking data—completely misleading.
Given that context, I’d absolutely take two point-per-game players over Mikko.
Umm. In 8 years he has had 60 points 3 times with a max of 68.
Isn’t that the definition of a “60 point player” It’s not difficult.
Who cares about the last two seasons. What about the 6 other seasons. Last I checked 434 career points in 593 games is not a point per game player. So infact it is you manipulating the stats by saying that because he is a .7 PPG player.
Or what about his whopping 8 points in 22 career playoff games? .36 PPG
You can take mediocre dime a dozen players who get traded at the deadline every year. I will keep the guy who is 4th in league scoring and a career PPG of 1.1 and 1.25 PPG in the playoffs.
But maybe you don’t think the goal is to win hockey games?
