It's just the players ranking expressed in percentile.

So if Point was 10th out of ~900 players so he was 98-99%.

Kuch was ranked 28th out of ~900 players so he was 96-97%.

Gotcha. But Jared McCann, Mark Scheifele are ranked higher. So is M Tchakuk.

You call those guys stratospheric then?

Not necessarily. But the state of being dumb is not something subjective.

It is like being shorter than average. It is a fact.

And it is a impediment to debate. One has to work harder to overcome it.

Well I am going to take my ball home and reevaluate my life.

Maybe for that season they were. But Point is consistently near the top every single year, along with Kuch.

I think you've been sleeping a bit on BP's overall impact.

I think it is amusing that you are focusing on the nuances of mickel25 terminology about "who says this/that anymore." All the while, your writing is on par with an low-end Ivy school dropout that keeps his Thesaurus within arms length at all times.

I couldn't make it but look at me! I am smart! Get over yourself.

I am sorry you find my style grating. I can certainly see why many would find it annoying and supercilious.

But I assure you I am not an ivy league drop out (btw, Bill Gates is one such guy, so that is not necessarily an insult). I teach (nowadays on and off) at one and have taught at another, full time, for many years.

Does that improve matters? *smile*

Good question. Inquiring minds want to know.

I personally don't think you need to re-evaluate your life. I think it is probably in pretty good shape would be my guess.

My suggestion (and we have both seen how much you value it *chuckle*) would be this. Take a couple of the many cognitive tests online. Take it fairly and honestly.

Then, don't dismiss the results. They don't define your life. But they do characterize it (describe a part of it).

You got me there, bro. I am a big fan and had many arguments with that Canadian young man named after a video game (Nwarampsx or something) about Point some years back.

But I have tuned out of hockey a bit over the past 2 years.

I am happy to learn you think he has risen to this level.

Is it Cornell? Definitely Cornell - Am I right?

Just speculation but the one potential reason given was that his previous agent aired dirty laundry between Coots and Torts.

That is what I said earlier today. He probably pissed off Couts with going public over the whole benching fiasco. I don't see him as someone that would demand a trade. But, this is the Flyers so you never know.

I did my Ph.D at Penn and taught there and at Princeton in various full time positions over the years*.

What is the implication about Cornell? Do you know how strong some Cornell departments are, like in say Computer Science?

(EDIT: But untenured positions though )

Do you know Andrew Bernard?

Scary thing is that he's been operating at an elite level since the 2nd half of his rookie year. He's just super super consistent.

Would an agent do something like that without the blessing of his client?

are you trying to flaunt your position over MJL’s phd at U of HB!???

Exactly, he hasn't risen to that level. He's been at that level for years. As a I pointed out, which of course PT21 ignored. His down rate scoring years coincided with injuries.

has it happened before?

the answer is yes.

Depends. Does HBI stand for HockeyBuzz idiocy? In that case, his stellar grades stand there without my help.

Has to be requesting a trade. The guy obviously doesn’t need another contract any time soon.

Will be another Comcast special. Take a whole bunch of slop for a guy that you stupidly and wildly overpaid.

Think maybe Coots might think there could be more trouble with Torts (buyout/trade) and he is upgrading his representation
