Not if Langway didn't deserve it. You seem to be getting caught up in Langway's accolades, which some(perhaps most) would argue he didn't deserve, instead of actually looking at the value of his play during those seasons.

Chara's PEAK from 2007-2012 doesn't include any "mediocre" seasons, each one of Chara's seasons during that span are better than Langway's 82-83 and 83-84 seasons in which you seem to be so enamored with.

We'll just have to agree to disagree. I would never describe Langway's two season stretch as "absurd", especially in comparison to Chara's 2007-2012 seasons.
