severe underrating of Thomas here. really holloway too. The last two months last year, they were both top 10 fantasy producers. Thomas doesn't shoot as much, but he was on a 100 pt pace had he not have been hurt.

Those listed were the only ones. Bolduc ahead of Schenn, Buch, and Neighbors hurts as it seems other rate his goal scoring more than Army did.

They have him as the 43rd ranked center which feels a little low but not too far from where he should be. The ESPN league gives 10pts for goal and 5pts for assist. Thomas was 113th in the league in goals last year and 58th among all centers in goals scored.

How many of those centers ahead of him missed 5 weeks?

Thomas is a 95 point center when his 24-25 stats are projected out to 82 games. How many 95 point forwards are in the league?

Thomas played 70 games. Without doing too much research, the top 5….

MacKinnon - 79
Drasiatl - 71
MacDavid - 67
Tage - 76
Eichel - 77

Again, this is not the number of points as this is ESPN fantasy rankings which give 2x the points to goals scored.

It’s not that others value Bolduc more than Army does, it’s that fantasy hockey isn’t real hockey.

It's a fantasy NHL list.

Fantasy, as in NOT reality.

Depends on the fantasy metrics. Agree if we're only talking about points.
