Data population is a major issue, a couple of years ago I did a quick and dirty estimate that 2/3rds to 3/4s of a season may be needed to massage outliers from the data. You could also try using top and bottom cuts, but again, you need data to establish those.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Benn's already held up his end of the bargain. Unless he plays goal there's not much more he can do for that team. Really wish the Canucks had a player like him.

Dallas paid his UFA amount basically, thought 8.5M per would have been sufficient for Benn, but they got it done for almost 10M per.
A long time ago, a baseball player remarked: "If I owned a ballclub, I'd hire a $5,000 coach and a $15,000 scout."
