And today, The Athletic, for FUN, released their roster of worst value while coming close to the cap ceiling (within $1 million IIRC). Huberdeau, of course, was a shoo-in. Bahl, along with Chiarot and Holl, got honourable mention for the second pairing, but ultimately the author selected Ceci and Graves.
