You would also have to take away a few points because carle plays a lot of minutes and if he played 2-3 more PP minutes that means a few minutes of ES a game would come off and that means a couple of his points would come off.
Also using your formula we should just play carter 40 minutes a game. Man he would be tearing it up with 58 goals right now if we just doubled his icetime.

Well, Jester is using the same sample size to suggest that Carle is a 30 point d-man and not worth his contract.
You can't have it both ways.
