Whats up Forum?! About that time again...
How/where one could reliably research the most productive seasons (of 30yr old & +) fantasy skaters over the past 15-20 years?
What I'm not exactly sure of is how or when to transition off the aging (but still high end value) star players from my keeper group. I know they still hold above average fantasy value, but for how long? How soon do I try to trade them? How much of a discount would I need to give to move to a younger player? Do I hold out until they retire and have that mark my rebuild?
So many questions....So I thought I'd try to put some blinders on and focus on just how often star players on the back 9 have still delivered the goods to their fantasy team? I'm wondering if there are any compiled trends of star or ex-star players still being relevant beyond their "best before date"?
Frozen Tools?
Determine Birthdays and painstakingly compare/assess each season's stats?
Fantasy Guide?
...
Pin the Tail on the Donkey?
Blind Faith?
Personal Bias?
Recency Bias?
(OK obv maybe not the last 4 but any help on this would be greatly appreciated.)
Some of the stars I'm assessing (on my and other teams) include but aren't limited to:
Crosby,
P. Kane,
Marchand,
Malkin,
Ovechkin,
Stamkos,
Giroux,
Wheeler,
Tavares,
Kopitar,
Backstrom (Wash),
Benn,
Bergeron,
Seguin *inj,
Getzlaf,
Pacioretty,
maybe others?
Thx as always Dobber community,

If I'm contending in a points only league, I don't see where I wouldn't want any of those players, over a 3 year period.
What I would give up to aquire, or ask in return if I'm an owner is a whole different story. I don't think historic performance helps in knowing when to pull the trigger.

Thx very much guys, I'll take a look.
