Why 0: that isn't missing data. Each value counts only what a player adds over the best one a standard league leaves on waivers, and in leagues of 12 teams with 13 starters and 4 bench spots each (204 players rostered), or 12 teams with 13 starters and 10 bench spots each (276 players rostered), or 10 teams with 17 starters and 5 bench spots each (220 players rostered), or 10 teams with 17 starters and 12 bench spots each (290 players rostered), Noah Cates's projected line (80 GP · 14 G · 22 A · +7 · 5 PPP · 115 SOG) doesn't clear that bar. He'd be a free pickup in that league; in a deeper league, or yours if it rosters more, he can be worth something.

What it takes
Worth the same in redraft
At the waiver line in a standard league, so not a trade piece there: a team can usually pick up someone like him for free.
