Ep. 357 - The Biggest BUSTS for Fantasy in 2024-25

[@RownPop]

Thanks always Nate and Blake! Love your contents man. I'm about to start listening so I may be speaking too early lol but I'm surprised to not see Reinhart or Forsberg there. Any thoughts on these two, especially with Reinhart having 24.5% shooting percentage last year?

[@BaneOfV]

I agree with Reinhart, but forsberg has so much support now that he has never had. there's no way he does worse imo, I actually think he may break 100 if it doesn't take long to build chemistry on the pp

[@applesginos]

Reinhart will regress for sure but he’s also not being drafted as if he’s a 50+ goal scorer

[@ReyDonovan-kv4jd]

Forsberg's issue has always been injuries. If he's healthy he matches or exceeds what he did last season. Multi cat stud

[@BaneOfV]

@@ReyDonovan-kv4jd agreed

[@Ghost-Of-Kyiv-]

I agree with everything but J.T Miller and Stamkos.

[@BaneOfV]

Im worried about stamkos, but when i look at the last 2 months of last years regular season, watching the playoffs, and now he is on a vengeance tour. I find it really hard not to see another 80+point 35+ppp season. The bust prospect is absolutely there though but at pick 45-60 i think hes a steal. That powerplay is unreal now, id go as far as to say its the 3rd best behind the leafs and oilers. Ryan o'reilly net front with 4 absolute snipers around him, my oh my. Would like to hear your guys thoughts on the pp though

[@applesginos]

We talked about it in the projection series but it’s definitely going to be a new look powerplay and it may take some time to get untracked

[@BaneOfV]

@@applesginos my bad should've thought of that I was stoned

[@aronbrown9411]

If Laine can get 30G and 30A I don't even really take that as a bust at this point in time. Good call on Sergachev that looks a lot more reasonable than some sources having him at 60-65P. I think Skinner will hit about 60. I also think 89 would be a great season for Thomas.

[@applesginos]

Definitely 30G/30A would be a great season for him

[@scabu3]

I could see that second line for montreal actually being pretty good if they can stay healthy. Dach and newhook are in years where they could possibly break out

[@blakecreamer7552]

I was higher on Dach before the Laine signing. Still a great player and no one has him on their fantasy radar. Watchlist guy at the very least.

[@applesginos]

Newhook has had a lot of opportunities to do something and hasn’t shown much imo

[@MrFelixgwu]

I think with aging the worst about ovi is even if he gets 30-35 goals his peripherals will go down

[@applesginos]

Good chance yeah

[@lauramaclachlan]

Love your takes... One thing I have to disagree with: "Edmonton is nice" 😅

[@applesginos]

Hahaha fair enough

[@D3god]

Laine can't make 70 pts in montreal unless they really switch things around. Playing 2nd line ~15min with low end linemates is not going to cut it.

[@applesginos]

Have to agree

[@newfiesig]

Last year Stamkos was L2 in TB

[@applesginos]

Still got a lot of playing time with the elites

[@NathanExplosion1989]

I know you put miller as a bust, curious where you draft Miller in a medium banger weighted points league? I was planning on targeting him on the turn 12/13, probably like miller/Tkachuk or something.

[@applesginos]

Depending on the scoring settings Miller can definitely show out

[@NathanExplosion1989]

Surprised you guys didn't put Reinhart in your bust spot or Coleman

[@applesginos]

Both will regress for sure but not sure bust is the right word

[@MrSefiroh]

89 pts is a bust?

[@blakecreamer7552]

It’s a ceiling projection. A lot has to go right for him to hit this.

[@charleselliott2234]

Detroit Red Wings sign Lucas Raymond to an 8-year, $64.6 million contract

[@canuckgame]

JT Miller a bust is a hilarious take. Come on.

[@mcthunderstick2374]

I don’t entirely disagree. Given his ADP and the fact the entire Canucks team was firing at above their historical averages, I think he won’t hit the same points totals for fantasy as he did last year. I suppose not a bust but taking him as early as his ADP compared to other guys in that range might be a mistake.

[@blakecreamer7552]

@@mcthunderstick2374we wanted to do an early round bust. By no means are we saying that that won’t produce. Just that in the first round there is potential for them to regress. I chose Panarin for reference.
