A line chart titled Remember Some Guys number 81, the reveal. It plots Mitch Marner's career value (goals above league average per 60 minutes) across 10 seasons with the real years shown. The orange line is Mitch Marner; shaded grey bands behind it show the league's 5th-to-95th and 25th-to-75th percentile range each season, with a dashed line at the league median.
