Fair, we’ll have to agree to disagree regarding Garland and Joshua.
i mean the way i think about it is like this..
Keep Garland-Joshua-Bluegar and add a 5M 50ish point forward to Petey.
Cost of lines:
Hog (1.1) - Petey (11.6) - ??? (5)
Dak (4) - Bluegar (3.5) - Garland (5)
Expected point output:
Hog (40pt) - Petey (90pt) - ???(50pt)
Dak (40) - Bluegar (35) - Garland (50)
Total cost: 30.1M
Expected pt output : 285pts
Cost of lines:
Hog (1.1) - Petey (11.6) - Guentzel (8.5)
Dak (4) - Lindholm (7) - Pod (1)
Expected point output:
Hog (40pt) - Petey (100pt) - Guentzel(80pt)
Dak (40) - Lindholm (50) - Pod (20)
Total cost: 33.2M
Expected pt output : 330pts
I mean yeah we end up paying more but I think it's safe to project a ton more offense than keeping Garland-Joshua together.
Hell even if we keep Garland and Joshua together and get Guentzel, the point project is lower and we get less utlility and insurance. For example, with Lindholm you can move him up if anything happens to Miller and Petey, you can't do that with Bluegar without tanking results. With Guentzel and Lindholm, there are 2 guys we can put in to juice PP1 and PP2 and we know Garland is not that effective on the PP.
Cost of lines:
Hog (1.1) - Petey (11.6) - Guentzel (8.5)
Dak (4) - Bluegar (3.5) - Garland (5)
Expected point output:
Hog (40pt) - Petey (100pt) - Guentzel(80pt)
Dak (40) - Bluegar (35) - Garland (50)
Total cost: 33.7M
Expected pt output - 325
