How exactly a minor injury that keeps him out 3-4 weeks in May/June make him tumble in fantasy drafts?

listen to the Dave Pratt tsn1040 radio show.. it's a catastrophic injury. It's ruining his entire summer of training. It's going to set his development back 1-2 years. afterall.. Madman Pratt considers Pettersson "Gretzky-esque"

You’re taking my comment too literally Jouko, and missing my optimistic sarcasm.

I thought the happy clapper helped illustrate that if I was serious, that’s something I would think (as a holder of no high draft picks)... and not say out loud.

Sigh. I failed on delivery.

Sorry for missing that. I thought you were being serious and celebrating that you'd actually get him with like pick #5 or something like that. My bad!

I guess that's the irony. Somehow, somewhere, in some league of irrational trigger happy GM's, he will drop because of this. I don't anticipate to be a benefactor.

Looks like he's going to sign. I know it's not official until it's official but it certainly seems this way.
