2024/25 Hold / Stream List 2.0

It’s about that time to update my hold/stream list.

“Every 4-6 weeks during the season, I change things up and post a list of fantasy relevant players.  I look at things from the perspective of a 12 player league, and put players into three categories.  First, there are holds, who are players that should be on 100% of rosters.  Next, there are players on the fringe, who you can make a case for holding depending on team needs, or at the least, they’re the best of the best for streaming.  Lastly, there are streamers, who are worth using, but not worth holding.  I will list streamers in order of preference (generally, I only want to stream forwards, not defensemen.  Also, goalies will be last regardless of preference just to separate them).  Assume that I am holding every #1 goalie unless otherwise noted, but I will mention the backups I want to use.  If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please let me know below.  Be on the lookout for Evan’s post on Monday as well.”  And that’s me copying and pasting me stealing what Grey does!  And with that, let’s get to it!
