So you discount that he played 91, 89 and 85% the past three seasons? That seems more important than the 43, 63 and 84% the three years before that.

Thanks for commenting!

Except the sentence is, “He will not be there 2 out of every 3 games” because he will be there less than 66% of the time. Which is correct. He’ll be there 64 out of every 100 games, or less than 2/3rds.

A gentle reminder that math. “Two out of three” = 2/3. 2/3 = 66.66666%. 64% < 66.666666%. Therefore, 64% < 2/3. Therefore, Fehr has _not_ been at work for even two out of three games, on average. Close, but not quite. Maybe it makes no difference. Just look before you troll next time.

I guess PWCPS didn’t do all that good of a job after all. :-\

>The Capitals are wise not to invest too much money in a player who won’t even be at work two out of every three games.

>That means Fehr is available to play in an average of 64% percent of your team’s games every year.

That first one should be one out of every three.
