Doesn't inform you of anything other then the outcomes, but I figured I'd post it anyway.

Do we know if a date was set for Schenn's hearing?

Based on statistical analysis, and the current rate of scoring in today's NHL, a player scoring at or above a 65 point average is basically a top level scorer. 65 points was good for 23rd in the NHL last year.

Using that criteria, scoring at a 50 point pace would be considered to be an average or expected level for a "first line" player.

Brayden Schenn had 26 goals and 59 points. Other players who managed to score at that rate are Taylor Hall, Andrew Ladd, Jeff Carter, Jordan Eberle, Wayne Simmonds and Phil Kessel.

Guys who didn't manage to score as many points as Schenn include Ryan Kesler, Jeff Skinner, TJ Oshie, Henrik Zetterberg, Boone Jenner, Scott Hartnell, Mikkel Boedker, Paul Stastny, Nate MacKinnon & Gabe Landeskog.

Like him or not, if the Flyers tried to trade Brayden Schenn, there'd be a lot of interested teams. The guy is a two time 20 goal scorer, and has been a consistent 20 goal, 45-50 point guy for three years in a row.

Combining the last three seasons, guys who have scored at a similar rate as Schenn include: Loui Eriksson, Rick Nash, Jonathan Huberdeau, James van Riemsdyk, Pavel Datsyuk, Jason Pominville & Tyler Toffoli. That's pretty good company

And Loui Eriksson just signed a Free agent deal for how much per year? Yet, one poster claims that Hextall tried to trade Schenn, but there was no interest, and Schenn has no value in a trade.

My point seems to have been missed. Production is based upon ice time, the more you get the more points you will have. Not a law of nature, but one of probabilities.

When Schenn received less ice time, he had less points. When he set career highs in total ice time, he set career high in points.

If he was a 3rd or 4th line player he would have less points.

I never explain myself because I forget no one else is in my head going through my thought processes with me. My wife hates it too.

So if we play Chris Vandevelde in the same situations and give him the same ice time as Schenn receives, he will produce similar results to Schenn? Surely you don't believe that. What's missing from your point, is the role the talent and ability the player has, in producing at that rate. I think you still haven't explained yourself on this point, because the point is really ridiculous.

One quick question, why does one player receive more ice time than another player?
