24 is average peak age.

To be clear I am not arguing that a player is/was better at 20 then they are/were at 26

Are you looking for the Mario stats they say his best season was when he was 23?

No, I need Mario's CF% and HDCF% to be able to properly evaluate how good he was as a hockey player. I'll take a look at Gretzky's if you have them as well.

This is why I don’t get bent out of shape over the defense situation. When the first round pick eventually gets traded I would hope it goes for offense. A 6’4” skilled winger that plays with and edge. But it’s 2018, there are like two in the league.

Well, how else would you expect me to evaluate him as a player? The "eye test?" Traditional stats (G, A, +/-)? I thought those weren't proper ways to evaluate a player.

I was doing an obscure quote by Chevy Chase in Caddyshack. Didn't expect anyone to get it.

Depends on what you want to evaluate.

Or in your case it just depends on if you are trying to be an ass or not.

A little bit of both. I think we can all agree that Mario Lemieux was one of the best players ever (if not the best). So I'm obviously just messing with you in a friendly way.

That being said, you generally seem to evaluate players based on their "advanced" stats. So my question is, how would you do a proper evaluation of players when said statistics are not available? And I am asking that is a completely non-ass way. I really do want to know.
