A 195-point return from Carolina and an NBA card worth 210 gave Connor Dougherty two sturdy pillars. The Hurricanes drove his NHL ticket to 54th, while three correct win-total calls placed 41st.
Houston added a useful March run through Day 5 and 66th, but pro football stripped the card back to almost nothing.
Survivor yielded only 4.5 at 238th. His NFL Playoff entry had no futures support and found just 6 from the bracket, finishing 233rd. Dougherty was 139th on 1241. That is what a season in perfect counterbalance looks like.
