I assume this is a fantrax league so that would mean Bennett is strictly a center? How many centers do you start and who are your other rostered options?
Hey all,
In a vacuum, in a 24 team NHL Salary Cap H2H CAT league (G, A, Points, PPP, SOG, HITS, BLKS, PIMS, FOW) Bennet and his 4.25M x 2 contract is a no brainer at the cost ofGabe Perreault and a 2024 2nd RD pick (entry prospects draft), right?
In a H2H cat league like this I am right to value him as very valuable? sometimes its hard to get a good read because he isn't the most talked about sexy fantasy commodity around and doesn't always show up highly on pre season rankings PLUS he has a pretty decent injury history. Just trying to get a vibe if I am over valuing a highly volatile asset or making a no brainer decision. My team is contending fwiw.
Thanks!

I'm not sure that it's a no-brainer but Bennett is a very valuable asset at his price point and multi-cat production. This is a fair price.

I think it's a good deal for you. Not quite a no-brainer, but I'd do it.

Yeah - I'm with the others. Good value and makes sense. Not a home run, but worth doing.

Am I missing something? You're giving up Gabe Perreault (a prospect who may not amount to much in the NHL) and another future prospect pick for a multi-cat player who helps you win now? How is this not a hands down for the Bennett side?
I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.
Thanks all! Think I'll go for it and hope he has a great year
This was generally my first thought, with some concern over just durability and the chance that maybe Lundell surpasses him on the depth chart. But otherwise for his healthy H2H coverage it felt like a little more of a no brainer than the consensus here has led me to believe
