But OVR doesn't define how good a player is - the individual attributes do. I think you will find he's an effective player for you, but he may get hurt more.

Okay, but I look at Kesler who has been one of the top defensive centres in the game for a long time. He had an objectively down year offensively, but he's still a really good defensive player... yet his numbers really don't reflect this. His defence rating for example is 71. That's just flat out wrong. Markus Granlund is rated higher.
Unfortunately something like this just really impacts my interest in this league. I gave up valuable assets for Carter and I had no way of knowing he would fall off the planet unless I dug up last year's results (which I was not part of) and looked for similar examples.
