WASHINGTON CAPITALS
GRIT FACTOR These 10 players had the highest total of hits (first number)and blocked shots (second number) last season. TOP 10 PROSPECTS SLEEPER OR ABUST Patience is thin on EVGENY KUZNETSOV, who has run out of good will despite 10 seasons in D.C. Washington is seeking new blood to keep its Cup window open, and not having Alex Ovechkin on his wing puts a cap on Kuznetsov’s production.…

Production just average. POS: C AGE: 26 2022-23 STATS:51-17-26-43-8 PROJECTION: 44 GP: 72 G: 16 A: 28 TOMMY NOVAK CAP HIT: $800,000 Second half was astounding (for Nashville), with 35 points.

SLEEP-ER FAMINE
IT’S LATE IN your draft. The beer is warm, the chips are gone, the jokes are stale, and you just want to get it over with. You’ve taken all your key guys, and you’re picking as quickly as possible to fill out your roster and keep the proceedings proceeding. The players you’re drafting at this point don’t really matter. Or do they? If you assume your fellow fantasy GMs are savvy enough, they’ll have skimmed the top rookies and potential breakout stars by now. They’ll even have taken European free agents, such as Andrei Kuzmenko. In the lead-up to 2022-23, nobody saw him getting 74 points. We did, however, have him projected for 54 points last year, so we didn’t overlook him. By the end of the draft, the pickings are slim. But there’s…
