I have plenty of data. Search hockeydb Mark Stone and you'll see all the days you need. I don't need to spend hours doing research to write a column that I don't get any money for.
Your last point makes no sense. So scoring MORE points as a rookie is an indicator that the player will score less the following year. So because Johnson didn't score 60, that's better than stone scoring 64. You are cherry picking stats to back your opinion.

Mark Stone. Quite the Polarizing Fantasy Asset.
will he or won't he. I guess it's up to him to prove either side right/wrong.
Thanks for the insight Ev. Thanks for the constructive criticism RD.
Us Stone owners appreciate the effort you both are bringing to this thread.
Unless someone is willing to bet on something predictions are for gypsies.
I'll take the Under on Stone for 70 this year.....Anyone wanna pipe up?
I'd take an over on 59.5, but definitely not 70.

This little dispute started when Rizz said Ev was the "prototypical example of fandom blinding reality". So I'd say they both got in their licks and should kiss and make up.

I'm taking o59.5. Any betters on this forum?? Or just writers??
Stone is a FA in my one-year league along with the likes of Huberdeau, Galchenyuk and Scheifele. Eight-team, 9-forwards league and he's been available since our draft this past Monday.
Not professing that anyone in my league is a fortune-teller or a fantasy hockey god, but to me, Stone sitting as a FA in our league indicates that no one is sold on him surpassing or even reproducing his totals from last season. Being optimistic about a player is great, but considering the long line of guys who have regressed after their rookie season, I don't see anything convincing as to why Stone will increase his production from last year.
Did Turris suddenly become a top-five centreman in the league without anyone else knowing? Is Hoffman also slated to dramatically break out offensively? Only 16 players from last season scored 71+ points. Among those who hit 71-80 points were Johansen, Stamkos, Johnson, Foligno, Tarasenko, Giroux, H. Sedin, Hudler, D. Sedin, Seguin and Backstrom. I could see Foligno and Hudler missing from this group this season, but I don't see Stone joining it. At all.
I think these "heated" debates are actually healthy for the forums. Look how many posts/opinions/members have read this thread just in the last day. If everyone agreed or disagreed but didn't fight to show why their opinion is their opinion, these boards would be pretty dull. Let the debates continue.
When insults or personal hacks begin to set it, that's when it's too far but what BigEv and Rizzie have done is nothing. I'm all for defending one's opinion, and via forum you need to state things how they are with confidence or your post will be lost in the mix.
Good on you two, whether you're right or wrong. This had been an entertaining read.
