Yeah I personally never believed Poehling would be anything close to an 80 point player. I’d be happy if he can be a 50-60 point guy. You gotta draft higher or find some real hidden gems to get 80 point guys.
I’m skeptical that KK could even be an 80 point guy and we got him third overall.
By close to 80 points i was referring over 82 games. Most players play 70 something games. A guy doing 69 points in 72 games is close to 80 points in my book (even if he is not). It's always tricky because of the games played and the fact some fans ignore this aspect completely. For them 33 goals over 82 games is the same as 33 goals over 71 games and 50 points over 82 games the same as 53 points over dunno 74 games. For me it's not the same at all. Yes there's value in a players playing 82 games every years (they are rare) as the player replacing the 33 goals over 71 games players for 11 games wont be as good but i'll still take the 33 goals over 71 games. If the players is healthy in playoffs i'll go further as long as he is not a choker. Where it's dangerous is assuming a pace over 40-50 games is sustainable but over 70 games it usually is.
