How about in the last 5 years, considering that there was only one 82-game season in the last 3 years?
Also, please explain how Nylander benefitted from playing with Matthews and Tavares?
Lol, seriously?
Dude, you don't need to go back 5 years in order to see that these two are comparable players.
Stats don't lie.
In the last 3 years. Fiala has played FOUR less games, has SIX less goals, FOUR more assists, and has TWO LESS points than Nylander.
They also have the same exact Points Per Game rate which is identical to each other, 0.91.
This isn't hyperbole or rocket science.
No matter which way you look at it, their numbers are near identical.
End of story.
One also only needs to utilize *Pace* and adjust a player's stats to a full 82 game schedule by using a player's Pts/G rate to determine how they would of finished the year out. Simple, no?
Doing that, it clearly shows that Kevin Fiala has been on a 30 goal/70 point pace since 2018.
Sidenote: Kirill Kaprizov was on a 40 goal/80 point pace in his rookie season, which is why he got paid 40 goal scorer money after only one season in the NHL. Lo and behold, he scored 47 goals/108 points last year.
Yes, one can argue that pace doesn't mean anything because you can't say for certain that a player will hit those projected numbers. But it IS what they should of likely hit by virtue of their Pts/G rate. It is also an means to project out how a player can and will have future success by determining how they would of performed over a full 82 game schedule. Which is especially useful when handing out contracts to young players coming off of their ELC's.
Using *Pace* is why NHL front offices have been paying out large long-term contracts to all these young RFA and ELC players over the last few years. Despite there being a flat-cap currently.
And as far as Nylander goes, I simply was stating that he's had the benefit of playing on a line with either Matthews or Tavares for the last few years.
Whereas Fiala's most common linemates were guys like Freddy Gaudreau, Victor Rask, Nick Bjugstad, or the washed up corpes of Zach Parise and Eric Staal. At least until he got Boldy for the last 47 games of the season, last year.
The point being. Nylander has had the
benefit of playing with much, much better players on his lines over the last three years than Fiala has had. And yet their numbers are near identical.
So, Fiala more or less was doing it on own. Go figure.
