Not saying what you’re describing isn’t fair but I do feel like if players are missing games for reasons out of their control it does become a bit unfair. And I do think someone getting hurt and missing like 60 games is different than someone actually getting hurt but making a comeback and missing that 65 game mark by like 2-3 games because of that.. especially if that player felt “good to go” but was held out and extra few days from the medical team. And we’ve been told that happens all the time.
I just have less faith that there would be an an endpoint. If you lower it to 60 and a guy is at 59, why should that cost him $40M? Maybe he missed the game because of an Ayton situation. That could seem unreasonable using this logic.
