Not having burns on that list is just nuts
Yes, you have to consider value above replacement... but you also have to consider the value above replacement of the ceiling of the forwards (100+points, 50+ goals). If you get the right guy on the right year and he puts up his 100 point season, then there is significant value above replacement for these forwards as well. What was Kane's value above replacement last year?
