Re: Buy Low or Avoid?
Bobby Ryan was a PPG through the first couple months before he got injured and tried playing through a hernia for the next 40 games. If you can get him for cheaper than usual, I would definitely do so. He's the only one on the list I would actively pursue.
Nash is possible....still scored at a mid 30 goal pace, those assists are just awful and I don't know how much of that was him and how much was janky linemates or whatever. Nash is no Adam Oates but 13 assists is a little ridiculous, especially when Nash averaged like 4 shots per game....someone has to put back at least a few of those rebounds you'd think. Expect that number to trend back up next season.
Eriksson is now at two straight disappointing seasons. He's still too young to think it's all over but I'm baffled with him, these down years just came out of nowhere. And being stuck in Boston's depth....If you consider 50 points a good buy low then I suppose he fits, but don't expect 65.
I just stay away from Kesler. Too much injury risk, and really outside of two seasons he's been pretty "eh" scoring-wise in his career. That Vancouver PP doesn't hum like it used to, and without the gimme PP points there just isn't the 70 point upside with Kes.
