He needs to produce but I would say he’s one of the few players with a high enough give a shit meter so far. I’m less worried about him than I am Zadorov.

The Bruins were spoiled by Chara, Bergeron, Krejci & Marchand all obliterating normal NHL aging curves. Having 1 guy like that is special but having FOUR on the same team is something I don't think we'll see again for a long time.“Rob Vollman summarizes this quite well in his book Stat Shot: The Ultimate Guide to Hockey Analytics: “Most players hit their peak age by age 24 or 25 then decline gradually until age 30, at which point their performance can begin to tumble more noticeably with the risk of absolute collapse by age 34 or 35.”

I hope Lindholm finds his game soon, otherwise we might be looking at an absolute anchor & it might have come way earlier than the front office had expected it.

I'd like to see a study like this done for elite players only. Take out the 3rd and 4th liners, the guys who really can't afford to lose anything. I'm sure you still see a decline but I bet it's much more gradual and they maintain a high level into their 30's.“Rob Vollman summarizes this quite well in his book Stat Shot: The Ultimate Guide to Hockey Analytics: “Most players hit their peak age by age 24 or 25 then decline gradually until age 30, at which point their performance can begin to tumble more noticeably with the risk of absolute collapse by age 34 or 35.”

They did sort of attempt to do this by figuring in only the top players 390 players forwards and 210 defenseman in TOI but that's still an awful lot more than what you're looking for. Their data window is a bit limited, with the study only looking at an 8 year window. The guts of the study though are pretty extensive, I just wish they had expanded their window a bit more.

It'd be interesting to see it along side the cumulative decrease salary cap commitment as a % of the growing cap year on year too.

What a great shift (assist to Detroit calling time out allowing him to have the energy/stay out) last 1:22 of 6 on 4 pulled goalie
Won clean draw to start that Zadarov sent down ice & killed play on wall and cleared zone to end it
He’s gotta bury a few more but his D game is there with Bergeron

Hes still a ghost to me. Ghost is not necessarily awful, it just means he doesn’t do anything glaring bad or glaringly good so you never notice him on the ice. Fact is though he signed a lucrative contract to be a number one center and he needs to provide more glaringly good games. So hopefully more to come, but not surprised by anyone that has their reservations about him.
