Absolutely agree- tracking the OBVIOUS star trajectories is easy- but there might be something here every bit as valuable that doesn't come with a massive early draft pick valuation.
In his draft year he had TWO offensive Dmen ahead of him on the depth chart gobbling up all that precious pp time. Most scouts said he had a ridiculous toolset and they sort of needed one more year where he was "the guy" to get a real read on him... they got that and he busted out like a maniac. This is a typical Nashville pick that gets underrated but the psychic/witch they pay for this intel gets an extra clutch of chickens...
This might very well be your Josi replacement and in an actual fitting twist he wasn't an obvious early pick. Not a guarantee at this point but ignore at your own risk....
Weekly hth league- 2c, 3w,1 ff (forward only flex), 4d, 1g, and one true flex. Sog/goal weighted for skaters: G4, A3, Sog1, PPP+1. +/- adds/minuses one for F/3 for D. Workhorse starters = GOLD!
We are a full dynasty keeper BUT we only protect 8 (9 if you miss playoffs)- which means that you can lose ONE player outside that range each year to the steal round.
