The MLN Ones2Watch™ are players who miss the FAB50 for one reason or another. For some it's a timing issue. For others it's a road-bump in an otherwise solid career. Some are fighting for a position, not quite ready for prime time, or could use a change of scenery to advance further in their careers. Whatever the reason, the Ones2Watch are just a heartbeat away from the fast-track that qualifies them for consideration in the FAB50 Hockey rankings.
Fillipula was hot early in the year, but not now. The drop off in production dropped him from the FAB50 to the Ones2Watch.
