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), Urho Vaakanainen's projected line (48 GP · 2 G · 11 A · +2 · 1 PPP · 45 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.
