    Default burakovsky projection ?

    what you guys think about him
    dobber has him at 18g28a +20 this year, do we consider this a breakout or the pre breakout?
    does he see full time on kuzzy wing or backstrom ( who ever is #1 now) does he get prime pp2 time or gets nothing ?
    im considering moving parise for him and a pick ( radulov/ ladd at that position in the draft)
    league info G(2) A(1) -+(1)PIM (.25) PP/SH bonus G (2) A (1.5)
    Goalie S (0.15) GA(-1) W (2) SO (3)
    15 starter ( 11f 3D 1G) // 5 bench 4F 1D
    Keep 5
    and Keep rookies that are on bench and under 100Gp

    If you can get burakovsky and radulov for parise that is a great trade. I expect PArise to be decreasing fast and think that radulov himself will outscore parise.

    For me he'll be my #13/14 forward (we start 11F) depending on how Perron does this year, so he'll see spot starts, but fewer than say Spooner or J.T. Miller.

    For you he'll be fighting for starts with Ehlers and Bennett.

    I like you moving Parise, who is decidedly in decline.

    Burakovsky has the talent, and the possession numbers, but I think his "breakout" comes next year. He will likely see time on all 3 lines in the Top 9, but predominantly on lines 2 & 3. As I said, his underlying numbers are fine, if he gets the bounces early, maybe he plays with Ovi & Backstrom. If he stays snakebitten like he was in the playoffs, then he plays another year on the third line.

    If you are going for it, Parise is probably better this year (as he is still better than Ehlers, Bennett, Fabbri & Burakovsky) but I think Parise/Burakovsky will be similar players in 2017-18, with Burakovsky being the better own 2018 onwards.

    EDIT: Didn't see you would also get a Ladd-type player. For me, Ladd = Parise, and Burakovsky is a great addition. Do it.

    I would slot Bura in at a tier or two below the Ehlers/Fabbri crowd.
    I would also grab Ladd over Radulov. I see bigger things from him this season with the Islanders.
