Re: An Axe To Grind!
Nice piece, especially for a 1st article. I agree with your assessments of everybody but Nate. Nate is hard because I do see him as a generational talent who will be in the top-10 point getters for a decade by next season at the latest. Thus, if you don't get him in the next 12 months I think he's a keeper for life. This doesn't mean he can't be still over-valued by some but rather that I consider his value to be very high.
My other criticism is that an "All-Team" should have 2 D-men. The article read a little bit funny because it only had 1. Perhaps you didn't have a 2nd D-man who was clearly overvalued but I'd prefer to see a 2nd one with a disclaimer that "he's not as bad as the rest but still over-valued" so you could have a complete "Team".
