Frattin for Hertl
What I like about Frattin is that he does bring hits to the table. He had 55 hits in 24 games last season, which is great. I'm not sure how you pro-rate stats but if I divide 82/24 and multiply that by 55, I get ~188. That's an awesome number. And I can only imagine that playing on the Kings will encourage him to hit more.
He's only 8% owned but I have no idea why. He's a lock playing with Carter & Richards, and has shown point production in the past. If I had room, I'd carry this guy for sure. Unfortunately, I don't...my expendables include him, Silfverberg and Grabovski. And I'm higher on the latter two at the moment.
Hertl, I have no idea what his peripherals will be like and it's incredibly risky going for a young gun like him.
Couture, Thornton, Marleau, Burns are all guaranteed top 6 time. I'm not sure why, but Tyler Kennedy is getting EV1 time with Couture. Anyways, Hertl seems to be a lock for me going forward but I'm not sure what his upside is this season.
Thoughts?
