    Default Time to think ahead ... add Austin Watson

    Just two more weeks and Austin Watson will be back after his suspension. If you are in a 14, 16 or even deeper league you should consider adding Watson right now. Thinking ahead of your oponents is key. This guy single-handedly could win you the PIM category every other week, hes giving you a block per game(its almost like another D in your forward position), good for around 160-200 hits and can score some goals too. Compared to hitting machines like Wilson, Martin, Deslauriers, M. Foligno, Reaves and Borowiecki, he has dual-eligibility.
    I'm sacrificing one roster spot for the next 15 days, just 15 days, by adding Watson today. But that move could help me for the rest of the season.

    You should do it if you can. I started a thread for Watson because he is only 1% owned in yahoo. Wilson is owned 23% but I think Watson could have similar value for the rest of the season.

    Good thread. He looks like a solid pickup in my ROTO league all be in only 7 people. Just checked league settings and he finished 64th last year. Those shortys are a huge bonus as well.

    I'm wondering how relevant these guys are in a league like mine without PIM. Wilson and Watson primarily.

    As much as Watson and Wilson are players that can help in every single categorie, their best category is PIM. In a league without PIM their value should be a lot lower I think.

    Beautiful thread, thanks for the reminder! I guarantee there are 10+ managers in my league kicking themselves right now for forgetting about this guy and watching him get picked up for free. Better them than me!
