To give you some frame of reference, I looked up how many point/game players there were in each season since the lockout (minimum of 60 pts or 60 games):<BR/><BR/>2005-06: 30<BR/>2006-07: 29<BR/>2007-08: 23<BR/>2008-09: 20 (projected)<BR/><BR/>Many of those drop-offs are so precipitous that they would easily exceed the expected reduction from less offense league-wide. But I just thought that should be included in the analysis.<BR/><BR/>Also, the blue-line talent bleed that the Sens have experienced over the last three seasons hasn't helped matters, either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148461224473220694.post-49632978771545567122009-03-09T02:16:00.000-04:002009-03-09T02:16:00.000-04:00Thanks, CG, that makes sense.

Clearly it ends on 2007 Dec 31, but when did it start? Beginning of 2007-08? Beginning of 2006-07? Beginning of each player's career as a Sen?Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01190620732067746768noreply@blogger.com
