Last year was the first in his career where he averaged below the 40’s (averaged 37). Played 9 games last year, plagued by injury – First season playing less than 20 games.
He has a historical second row average of 44 with an average of 44.6 in games over 70 minutes (assuming he plays the whole game – or close to).
If he can put a good healthy season ahead of him, I think that will help the Dogs maybe not win, but at least be a bit more competitive in more games.
It is not out of the question that he starts pumping out 45’s again, as is evident by his 2018 avg of 45.5, 2019 – 43.4, 2020 – 42.4, 2021 – 45.7, 2022 – 45.5.
If you take out 2017 where he came off the bench, and his injury season last year his average is 44.5. That is 7-8 points of value and if he pumps up around 45 that’ll see him with some value around 90-100K.
Awkwardly priced but the history is there. Were the scores due to him playing for probably the best team of the last two-three decades? Who knows.
