Lane Hutson not being on here is a travesty- must be on one of those everyday 30 game heaters in the ncaa.
Sarcasm noted ;)
Thanks for the heads up. Hard to catch all 20 leagues and 700 players on my template. He still wouldn’t make the Top 50 as he’s only 18, but at least now he’s up into my Top ~75 or so for next time.
PS I replied to your trade comment in my ramblings. Take a look and if you have any questions, leave it there and I’ll keep an eye out for it. Thanks Karl
Mavrik Bourque was just dropped minutes ago, as an example of how worthless prospects are in a deep Keep 12 league. Saw that, and thought of this comment thread
Fair wnough- thanks for clarifying. I just thought a guy like Hughes is so highly touted cause he tore up the ncaa and Hutson is putting that record to shame- being a men’s league and having success there being a good indicator. I felt like the worry was his size but with the ncaa wing k own for its strength and conditioning programs his success there would mitigate some of the risk as to whether or not he could play with big men. Lastly there are a few clear stars at forward in mtl to play with but not a lot of competition on the blueline. Harris is developing fine and wifi was a nice surprise but it just looks like he has a clear route to ppqb at the very least.
On any case I appreciate the explanation- thanks…
