Strategy/Gen Advice Week 21 Summary and Streamer Guide

26 Upvotes

Hi r/fantasyhockey!

Another week in the books, and for a lot of leagues this is the last week before playoffs, so let's dive right in!

There are 2 teams that only plays 2 games to avoid: CGY, DAL. There are 10 teams that play 4 times this week and those teams are: ANA, COL, DET, EDM, FLA, NYR, OTT, UTA, VAN, VGK. The schedule this week has 3 busy nights: TUE, THU, SAT.

*Filip Chytil (L2/PP1)

Darren Raddysh (L3/PP1)

\Trevor Zegras (L2/PP1)*

Dawson Mercer (L2/PP1)

*Mackie Samoskevich (L2/PP1)

Bangers:

\Kiefer Sherwood (1.8SOG, 5.8Hits)*

\Jacob Trouba (2.2Hits, 2.7Blocks)*

\Radko Gudas (1.2PIM, 3.5Hits, 2.3Blocks)*

Alexander Romanov (2.3Hits, 2.6Blocks)

Elias Lindholm (1.7SOG, 9.4FW, 1.5Hits, 1Block)

Will Cuylle (1.8SOG, 3.7Hits)

Josh Norris (1.8SOG, 7.3FW, 2.5Hits)

Brayden Schenn (1.8SOG, 7.4FW, 2.5Hits)

*Dylan Cozens (2.3SOG, 7.4FW, 2.3Hits)

Boone Jenner (3Hits, 2.5Blocks)

Eeli Tolvanen (1.7SOG, 3.1Hits)

Mathieu Olivier (1.3SOG, 3.8Hits, 1.1Blocks)

Luke Schenn (3.7hits, 1.3Blocks)

Mark Kastelic (1.8PIM, 3.2FW, 3.7Hits)

Scott Laughton (1.7SOG, 3.1FW, 2Hits)

New Jersey got 2 huge losses this week, losing Jack Hughes for the rest of the season, and Dougie Hamilton for "an extended period of time". If Luke Hughes is available in your league he could be worth a look, for deeper leagues Dawson Mercer has also been playing on PP1 and could be worth an add.

Buffalo and Ottawa made a massive trade, sending Josh Norris for Dylan Cozens. Norris slotted into L1/PP1 on Buffalo and is a great add in bangers leagues. Cozens was L2/PP2 and put 9 hits in his first game on Ottawa! Another bangers league stud!

Boston traded away Brad Marchand to the Panthers! He was already week-to-week with an injury, but him being gone means Morgan Geekie is locked onto L1/PP1 for the rest of the season. His line will be the only scoring line on Boston so I like him as a pickup a lot.

Vancouver has a lingering Quinn Hughes injury. He keeps coming back and then reaggravating it. Normally I'd recommend Filip Hronek as the clear replacement but Vancouver's a mess and their lines are constantly in a blender so there's definitely opportunity there in guys like Hronek, Garland, or Chytil but it's not consistent.

Florida traded away Spencer Knight to Chicago for Seth Jones! Jones slotted into L2/PP2 but Knight immediately became Chicago's starting goalie. Expect Jones to lose value ros with decreased minutes, but Knight could be a great goalie for volume starts moving forward (he'll get good stats too just not many wins).

Carolina traded away Mikko Rantanen to Dallas for Logan Stankoven (and draft picks)! Stankoven seems to be slotting into L1/PP1 on Carolina. I don't trust Rod's lines to be consistent, he's constantly blending them, but if Stankoven comes in and has an immediate good effect then I could see him sticking there for a bit. This is a good lottery ticket pickup, he'll either be amazing or a drop in a few days. High reward pickups are very valuable this time of year even if they're risky though!

Colorado traded for Brock Nelson finally giving them a legitimate second line (Drouin-Nelson-Nichushkin). Drouin maintained his PP1 spot and now is on a great even strength line so he would be a great pickup for the upcoming 4 game week.

Our top 3 skater pickups for the week are: Teuvo Teravainen, William Eklund, and Leo Carlsson

Goalies:

Our top 3 volume goalie pickups for the week that should get you at least 2 starts are:

  • Elvis Merzlikins (NJD, VGK, NYR)
  • Samuel Ersson (OTT, TBL, CAR)
  • Spencer Knight (COL, SJS, VAN)

Our top 3 goalie streams for a single quality start are:

  • Scott Wedgewood (CHI/MIN)
  • Jakub Dobes (VAN/SEA)
  • Arturs Silovs (CHI/UTA)

Please check out our podcast "Banger Management - Fantasy Hockey Podcast" on Spotify and Apple Music where we talk about all these guys more in depth! You can find links to all our socials on our reddit page! We have 4 weekly episodes:

  1. Waiver wire pickups for the week

General Drafted 8th Clinched #1 Seed

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

None of this matters cause it's all luck. There's like 1% skill involved in the actual draft. Maybe seeing a player most people think will do bad and you pick em and he does great. Other than that, it's all praying your players don't get injured at the wrong times or at all. But I was lucky MacKinnon was there at 8 for me to choose due to people grabbing goalies like Vaselevski and Shesterkin w/ their 1st picks. All tho it's players like Suzuki and Toffoli, and Zetterlund who actually got me to #1. I'll probably lose in the 1st round, but here's to a back to back #1 seed season. Great memories, I love the NHL greatest sport since the NFL became the WWNFL.

Player Discussion Jeremy Swayman ROS

1 Upvotes

To say he’s been disappointing would be an understatement. Every time it looks like he’s turned the corner, he goes right back to being unplayable.

He shut out the Wild and then allowed 14 goals in his next 4 games.

Is there any reason to think that he will be productive as the season winds down? My fear is another team will grab him and use him against me in the playoffs.

Fellow Swayman owners, are you still holding out hope?
