It’s been a couple months so we’re due for an updated list for players to stream and hold. Where comments are necessary, I’ll be sure to say so. Remember that I put injured players that are holds when they are healthy, and I’d keep them in an IR spot. Assume starting goalies are holds. Let’s get to it!
ANAHEIM DUCKS
Hold: Zegras, Terry
Stream: Rakell, Getzlaf, Milano, Comtois, Drysdale, Fowler, Lindholm, Shattenkirk
ARIZONA COYOTES
Hold: Keller
Stream: Kessel, Crouse, Larsson, Schmaltz, Chychrun, Gostisbehere, Vejmelka
I was going to make a case for holding Chychrun because he could blow up when he’s traded, but we’re two months away from the deadline so I’m not there yet. He could have a huge finish though.
BOSTON BRUINS
Hold: Bergeron, Pastrnak, Marchand, McAvoy, Rask, Ullmark
Stream: Hall, Smith, Haula, Grzelcyk
BUFFALO SABRES
Hold: Thompson, Skinner, Tuch, Dahlin
Stream: Cozens, Olofsson
Skinner and Tuch are a debate, but I’m all in on the first line right now.
CALGARY FLAMES
Hold: Tkachuk, Lindholm, Gaudreau, Andersson, Kylington, Hanifin
Stream: Monahan, Mangiapane, Coleman
I’m a bit bullish on those secondary defensemen right now.
CAROLINA HURRICANES
Hold: Aho, Teravainen, Svechnikov, DeAngelo, Slavin
Stream: Niederreiter, Trocheck, Jarvis, Necas, Staal, Pesce, Skjei
CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS
Hold: DeBrincat, Kane, Jones
Stream: Toews, Hagel, Kubalik, Dach, Gustafsson, Murphy, De Haan
COLORADO AVALANCHE
Hold: MacKinnon, Rantanen, Landeskog, Kadri, Burakovsky, Makar, Toews
Stream: Nichushkin, O’Connor, Compher, Newhook, Girard, Francouz
COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS
Hold: Jenner, Bjorkstrand, Laine, Werenski
Stream: Nyquist, Texier, Voracek, Domi, Roslovic, Bean, Boqvist
DALLAS STARS
Hold: Hintz, Robertson, Pavelski, Klingberg, Heiskanen
Stream: Seguin, Benn, Gurianov, Radulov, Lindell, Suter
DETROIT RED WINGS
Hold: Larkin, Bertuzzi, Raymond, Seider
Stream: Fabbri, Suter, Namestnikov, Hronek
I’m torn on Raymond right now, but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.
EDMONTON OILERS
Hold: McDavid, Draisaitl, Hyman, RNH, Nurse, Bouchard, Barrie
Stream: Yamamoto, Puljujarvi, Perlini
With Barrie out, Bouchard is a slam dunk hold. It’s close otherwise, but still lean towards hold.
FLORIDA PANTHERS
Hold: Barkov, Verahaeghe, Reinhart, Bennent, Huberdeau, Duclair, Ekblad, Weegar, Montour
Stream: Lundell, Hornqvist
LOS ANGELES KINGS
Hold: Kopitar, Arvidsson, Doughty
Stream: Kempe, Iafallo, Danault, Moore, Brown, Byfield, Roy, Durzi, Petersen
Way more streams than I ever anticipated, but don’t see much of a case for holding these guys unless you want to gamble on Petersen.
MINNESOTA WILD
Hold: Kaprizov, Hartman, Zuccarello, Eriksson Ek, Fiala, Spurgeon, Dumba, Talbot and Kahkonen
Stream: Boldy, Greenway, Foligno, Goligoski
MONTREAL CANADIENS
Hold: None?
Stream: Suzuki, Gallagher, Anderson, Hoffman, Toffoli, Drouin, Lehkonen, Petry
The top guys could change things, but right now, I don’t want a thing to do with Montreal.
NASHVILLE PREDATORS
Hold: Forsberg, Duchene, Granlund, Josi
Stream: Johansen, Kunin, Jeannot, Ekholm, Fabbro, Carrier
NEW JERSEY DEVILS
Hold: Hughes, Bratt, Hischier, Hamilton, Severson
Stream: Tatar, Zacha, Mercer, Johansson, Subban
Severson is contingent on Hamilton being out.
NEW YORK ISLANDERS
Hold: Barzal, Lee, Dobson, Sorokin and Varlamov
Stream: Nelson, Beauvillier, Wahlstrom, Pageau, Pelech, Pulock, Mayfield
NEW YORK RANGERS
Hold: Kreider, Zibanejad, Panarin, Strome, Fox, Trouba
Stream: Kakko, Lafreniere, Georgiev
OTTAWA SENATORS
Hold: Tkachuk, Norris, Batherson, Chabot
Stream: Stutzle, Formenton, Paul
PHILADELPHIA FLYERS
Hold: Atkinson, Giroux, Provorov
Stream: Farabee, JVr, Konecny, Hayes, Yandle
PITTSBURGH PENGUINS
Hold: Crosby, Guentzel, Rust, Malkin, Letang
Stream: Rodrigues, Carter, Kapanen, Zucker
SAN JOSE SHARKS
Hold: Meier, Hertl, Couture, Burns, Karlsson
Stream: Dahlen, Barabanov
SEATTLE KRAKEN
Hold: McCann, Eberle, Schwartz, Giordano
Stream: Dunn, Donato, Johansson, Soucy
ST. LOUIS BLUES
Hold: Tarasenko, Buchenvich, Kyrou, RoR, Perron, Krug, Parayko, Faulk, Binnington and Husso
Stream: Thomas, Schenn, Barbashev, Saad
Lot of close calls here, most of which I covered over the last week.
TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING
Hold: Kucherov, Point, Stamkos, Palat, Hedman, Sergachev
Stream: Killorn, Cirelli, Perry, McDonagh
TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS
Hold: Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares, Reilly
Stream: Kase, Bunting, Mikheyev, Kerfoot, Muzzin, Sandin
VANCOUVER CANUCKS
Hold: Boeser, Miller, Pettersson, Horvat, Hughes
Stream: Hoglander, Pearson, Garland, Myers
VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS
Hold: Stone, Pacioretty, Marchessault, Smith, Theodore, Pietrangelo
Stream: Karlsson, Stephenson, Dadonov, Roy, Hague, Whitecould, Brossoit.
Obviously hold Eichel when he’s back. I’d hold Stephenson if he’s top six when everyone else is healthy, but not right now.
WASHINGTON CAPITALS
Hold: Ovechkin, Kuznetsov, Backstrom, Oshie, Wilson, Carlson, Samsonov and Vanecek
Stream: Protas, Hathaway, Sheary, McMichael, Orlov, Schultz
WINNIPEG JETS
Hold: Scheifele, Wheeler, Dubois, Connor, Copp, Pionk, Morrissey
Stream: Stastny, Perfetti, Schmidt
Three Point Challenge: We’ll do it for Tuesday. Fungazi is up to 3 with a few of us at 1. You can’t take Ovechkin, McDavid, Draisaitl, Huberdeau, Kadri, Stamkos, Kaprizov, Rantanen, Meier, and Fox. Reminder that starting today, you can only select a player once every two weeks. I’ll go with Forsberg against the Kraken.
That’s all for now guys. I’ll be back Wednesday recapping the action for the next two nights. As always, feel free to ask any questions, leave any comments, or give any suggestions below. Thanks for reading, take care!
How high would you rank Lehner among Goalies ROS? Thanks
Probably somewhere around 10th? There’s a lot of upside and downside, but I think the wins will be strong enough to keep him in that bottom #1 goalie range.
Agreed with Viz. He’s better than most but I’m not sold he’s elite in fantasy.
What about Toffoli? I think he’d be at least a streamer?
Oversight on my part, definitely elite streamer. Will update, thanks
Penguins Malkin for the points.
Necas isn’t even a streamer? Or was that an accidental omission?
I’m also kind of surprised you don’t call Trocheck a hold.
in any sort of hits/blocks/faceoffs he’s psycho more valuable than standard. ehlers missed as well (obv hold of course, doesn’t need to be said)
Mistake on my part, this is what happens when I do the list after watching my Bills in horrible fashion. Elite streamer for me. Trocheck really comes down to league format; if you don’t have the extra stats, I wouldn’t hold now. The points and shots are down a ton.
Hey guys. Is Oettinger a drop for V.Husso? My goalies have all hit a rough patch at the same time. Markstrom, Varlamov, Samsonov and Oettinger. Normally I dont like to hold 4 keepers but I only have one legit number 1 in Markstrom. And he has been playing like anything but lately.
better side of timeshare right now vusso is.
Yoda?
would yoda have messed up husso as vusso? not methinks.
I think so; there has to be some chance Husso takes over as the guy as he’s played very well and Binnington has not.
yikes, watching STL @ CGY and except maybe one goal this ain’t on binnington, this is worst D i’ve seen from them all game long. bad bounces too of course, but at least 9 odd man rushes in 2 periods.
Third game in four days. Ugly, but that’s gotta be the driving factor.
likely. but that was just gross. and binnington wasn’t even left in to let the GAA/sv % get better in the 3rd. which really really sucks as CGY just didn’t try to score in the 3rd; one could say take from that that “see husso was good again when binnington wasn’t” which isn’t accurate to last night.
Pavelski for 3 pnt!
Good luck!
up to 4
at least one of us didn’t lose anything to you today though.
On fiiire! Nice pick for you too
Hotter than a pistol!
crosby vs ARI for 3 pt tues
2 week counter: crosby (1/25)
Nicely done!
