The breakdown of power play efficiencies is top-tier (5/5). The prospect pool rankings saved me in my keeper league draft. The Fluff: The daily newsletter is 70% memes, emojis, and "hype videos." I don't need a DJ mixing goal horns into a dubstep track when I'm trying to figure out if I should start Ullmark.
