  Josh is not here. He left us again.
• 0:13
  Again. Back, back to old times.
• 0:15
  Yeah, classic, classic. He just doesn't like us.
• 0:19
  That's just what it. Is that's the message I'm
• 0:21
  getting? But it's fine because we do not
• 0:22
  need him to talk about Week 18 streamers for their fantasy
• 0:26
  hockey season. Wow, what a segue.
• 0:28
  But let me start by saying welcome until banger Management,
• 0:32
  Fantasy Hockey podcast and Med program.
• 0:36
  Letterman, Jake. Josh.
• 0:38
  Odge, Kevin. Guess what language that was?
• 0:42
  English. No one more try.
• 0:46
  OK, it was Russian. Norway you're not getting.
• 0:51
  This Norwegian. Haha, there you go.
• 0:54
  Alright, well, he's in Norway, so they write it down.
• 0:58
  It was a nice pun. It was a nice pun.
• 0:59
  You're welcome. And everybody, whoever missed
• 1:01
  the puns, which I'm sure all of you.
• 1:02
  Did and for all of Norway fans out there, represent?
• 1:06
  Yep, Mad Zuccarello, we love you and keep up the great work.
• 1:10
  Yeah, we, I don't. Do I know any other players from
• 1:13
  Norway? There's not many.
• 1:15
  There's gotta be. Anyways, if you, if you know
• 1:17
  them, listen in the comments below.
• 1:19
  We'll be looking out for that. But yeah, I mean, listen.
• 1:22

• 1:38
  But yeah, Week 16 choices for repetition speakers.
• 1:41
  I'm pretty happy with this week. I think I get to keep my house,
• 1:44
  but yet yet another injury. I feel like at least one third
• 1:47
  of our picks get injured every week.
• 1:49
  But Josh Norris was supposed to be was poised for a great week
• 1:53
  injured, got an L, but we had J Peterka and William Eckland, who
• 1:57
  both came in really clutch, getting multiple points.
• 2:01
  So that's a huge W, bringing us our season record to 21 and 12.
• 2:07
  Still still going pretty positive out here.
• 2:10
  It's very good. It's it's very good.
• 2:12
  We're recording this in a house and yeah.
• 2:17
  And next week, we'll also be recording this in a house once
• 2:20
  again. So yeah, especially my house.
• 2:23
  Yeah, Yeah. No, Kevin.
• 2:24
  Kevin's gonna start buying more houses.
• 2:27
  It's quite impressive, not gonna lie.
• 2:29
  So I think, yeah, I think we're doing really well. 21 and 12.
• 2:33
  It's very good record. And like you said, I mean, two
• 2:36
  or three of those were just injuries that are totally out of
• 2:38
  our control. So by and large, we are
• 2:42
  succeeding, and you will succeed if you keep listening to us.
• 2:44
  That's the way. The cookie.
• 2:45
  Crumbles that's we have to take away from that.
• 2:48
  But yeah, let's look into the streaming options for week 18 of
• 2:52
  the fantasy season. Most importantly, the four teams
• 2:55
  that play two games this week. So Anaheim, Buffalo, Detroit and
• 2:58
  the Winnipeg all have two games. They're not going to want to
• 3:01
  stream players from those teams, guys that are decently rostered
• 3:04
  on those teams that could probably be dropped.
• 3:06
  Bowen, Byram, Owen power. I think those defensemen, you
• 3:09
  know, you're not really getting much production in points and
• 3:12
  and the category coverage is not good enough to hold throughout
• 3:15
  A2 game week. I would definitely look to be
• 3:17
  dropping those guys and picking up somebody else's stream and
• 3:21
  the teams that play on off nights on this upcoming week,
• 3:24
  Chicago, Edmonton, LA, Montreal, Nashville and the New York
• 3:29
  Rangers. So those teams play out off
• 3:32
  night. So you'll want to maybe stream
• 3:33
  from those teams if you're full on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday,
• 3:36
  which end up being the busy nights.
• 3:39
  Yep, let's dive into it with some shots, points and power
• 3:44
  play points guys. And these guys are actually all
• 3:46
  rostered in less than 40% of leaks.
• 3:49
  Yeah, I mean, we listen to a lot of names, so we're hoping to
• 3:53
  give you multiple available options for your leagues
• 3:55
  depending on who's Ross and who's not.
• 3:57
  We'll start from the most roster to go down to the least rostered
• 4:00
  player. But like Jake said, all these
• 4:01
  guys are 40% owned or less. And I mean, listen, if you
• 4:05
  listen to previous episodes, you'll hear some familiar names,
• 4:08
  but if they're available, they're still good options.
• 4:10
  So let's start off hot with the best player in the NHL, pure
• 4:14
  Luke Dubois, who I traded off my fantasy team and has been on
• 4:19
  fire ever since. But he's a great stream for
• 4:22
  points and he'll give you some shots.
• 4:24
  And if in the faceoff leaks, he's good for those as well.
• 4:27
  So, I mean, he's been hot. Yeah, I think people are cluing
• 4:31
  into this and by the time you listen, he's probably going to
• 4:33
  be rostered in more than 40% of leagues because, you know, the
• 4:38
  production is almost just too good to ignore.
• 4:40
  He's fitting in so nicely on the Capitals, averaging .93 points
• 4:47
  over his last month and over two shots, really nice face off wins
• 4:51
  as well. If you're in a face off league,
• 4:52
  centre, left wing, it's it's really great.
• 4:55
  So he should absolutely be rostered for the time being, and
• 4:59
  it's a really, really nice ad for this week.
• 5:01
  Yep, the next few names I got Ryan O'Reilly SO2C for the
• 5:07
  national predators. He's gonna be lined 2 CPU one
• 5:10
  he's been I mean along with the other top fantasy assets on
• 5:14
  Nashville. He's been pretty hot since
• 5:16
  everybody else started getting hot, but he's honestly the the
• 5:19
  most widely available contributing option on the
• 5:22
  national predators. The P1 is going to be some good
• 5:25
  exposure, but line 2 as well. Honestly, he's been kind of
• 5:28
  clicking with those guys there. So he's great to stream if
• 5:30
  you're needing a pure. Did Tyler to Foley line 2 CPU
• 5:35
  one on the San Jose Sharks, he's gonna be playing with Celebrity.
• 5:39
  So that's great exposure on PP1. Once again, he just kind of had
• 5:43
  a tumultuous season. I would say kind of roller
• 5:45
  coaster in his value going up and down.
• 5:47
  The deployment has a lot of effect on that.
• 5:49
  But if you're playing with Celebri and he's a guy that's
• 5:51
  known to have good shot volume specifically.
• 5:54
  So I think he's a great option to stream this upcoming week.
• 5:57
  Jake, what do you think? Of two line 2 power play, one
• 5:59
  player. So there's like a lot in common
• 6:01
  there and I think they're undervalued for the production
• 6:04
  that they could put out this week.
• 6:06
  I do like O'Reilly a lot because he's got two off night games and
• 6:12
  at the end of the day, Toffoli is also just a nice ad because I
• 6:15
  think they're both just he's coming back from an injury right
• 6:18
  to Foley. So they're both.
• 6:20
  Undervalued. Exactly.
• 6:21
  To where they could be regarded in a few weeks, so both could.
• 6:26
  The next couple names I'm going to go with Alexi Protis.
• 6:30
  So he's I would say not my favorite just because he doesn't
• 6:34
  get any power play exposure, but he is on line 2 playing with.
• 6:38
  So there's some correlation there.
• 6:40
  But he you know, he's played with Ovi before as well.
• 6:42
  So it kind of just depends on where he slots it slots on the
• 6:45
  lineup. But he can be an option on the
• 6:47
  Capitals who have a great schedule this upcoming week.
• 6:51
  Nathan drew a line 1P1. I mean, he's still widely
• 6:54
  available. Somebody that's getting that
• 6:56
  deployment, playing with Nathan McKinnon and on the power play
• 6:59
  and on 5V5, like he should be rotting away more leagues than
• 7:03
  he currently is. I think the reason why he's not
• 7:05
  roster that much is because it's category coverage isn't the
• 7:07
  best, but it's point production is just like you can rely on the
• 7:11
  deployment and it's going to be there, right?
• 7:12
  You're going to get those assists and goals set up by
• 7:15
  McCann. So I like him a lot.
• 7:17
  He should be a rest of season hold in my opinion as long as
• 7:20
  the deployment doesn't like come crashing down to earth.
• 7:22
  Try to be really shocked about given how beat up the Avalanche
• 7:24
  are. So I'd be really wanting him on
• 7:27
  my roster and I'll give one more name, Quinton Byfield who's line
• 7:30
  2P1 on the Kings. The Kings have a good schedule.
• 7:34
  Byfield has had his ups and downs throughout the season as
• 7:36
  well, but I really like him for points and and and shots.
• 7:39
  Being on P1 is going to be great for his value, especially that
• 7:42
  the Kings are getting Judy back. Line 2 not too bad either given
• 7:46
  they're kind of splitting their lines over I would say 3 lines.
• 7:50
  It's kind of like a top 9 I would say in LA.
• 7:53
  Yep, I like it a lot. Drawn to me is is someone who
• 7:57
  should just be rostered in most of your leagues, especially
• 8:00
  points leagues, because playing with McKinnon is fantastic and
• 8:04
  natures as well. I know it's not the rant and a
• 8:07
  name that we're used to, but I think that both natures and
• 8:11
  McKinnon are gonna just uplift drones fantasy value
• 8:14
  tremendously. So I'd be really excited if I
• 8:17
  was a joy owner and if he's available, then absolutely pick
• 8:21
  him up. And if you have an opponent, if
• 8:23
  there's a someone else in your leagues rostering him, I would
• 8:26
  try to buy him because he's had a tumultuous year.
• 8:28
  But I think he could be really great.
• 8:31
  Byfield's decent as well. Protest not as high on no power
• 8:34
  play one exposure, but with buy field, this is one of the rare
• 8:37
  young players on a good team that they're giving him tons of
• 8:41
  consistent minutes. So I think that's a little
• 8:43
  unique to his situation and they're giving him the
• 8:46
  opportunities. LA great team.
• 8:48
  And yeah, he's likely to benefit from that even though it's going
• 8:52
  to be a bit inconsistent. But yeah, for this week all
• 8:55
  good. Trans my guy here though for
• 8:57
  sure. Yep, love that.
• 9:00
  Next we got a defenseman, so Cam Fowler, whose line 1P2 for the
• 9:04
  Saint Louis Blues. I'll give Adam Fantilli as well
• 9:07
  line 1P1 I think so might take a long time follower.
• 9:11
  He's definitely slowed down significantly since you know, he
• 9:14
  was a hot pick up a few weeks ago.
• 9:16
  He's still worth rostering as long as he's, you know, on that
• 9:18
  power play for the Blues. But they're kind of doing some
• 9:20
  crazy things with power play where, you know, there's like a
• 9:22
  PP1AP1B. I don't know I said like that,
• 9:26
  but but yeah, but line one is gonna get a lot of 5 by 5
• 9:29
  minutes. So you can rely on that.
• 9:31
  And he'll go through waves where he's more valuable than others.
• 9:34
  But I think on a week like this, we're looking for defensive
• 9:38
  streamer that's going to get you power play exposure.
• 9:40
  He's one of the few names that it's going to be available on
• 9:43
  your waivers. Adam Fantilli, though, I mean,
• 9:45
  line 1P1 is slotting into the Sean Monahan role.
• 9:47
  Like he should be rolling way more leagues than he is
• 9:49
  currently. I think a lot of people are
• 9:51
  going to start to pick up on this, you know, because he's had
• 9:53
  some solid production ever since getting bumped up to lineup.
• 9:56
  I expect this production to be consistent for I mean, the
• 10:00
  duration of most of the rest of the season given Monaghan's had
• 10:03
  a set back and going to be out for a significant amount of
• 10:05
  time. So he's must roster.
• 10:07
  I mean, think him and drawing are should be on on more than
• 10:10
  half of Yahoo fantasy leagues like roster over 50% minimum.
• 10:15
  And then one more name I'd say in that kind of section is
• 10:17
  Darren Radish, who's been line 1P2 playing with Victor Hedman
• 10:22
  and getting some power play exposure to Kucherov as well,
• 10:25
  who's been playing on both power play.
• 10:27
  I mean, listen, you can't necessarily rely on the points,
• 10:30
  but I mean, when he's hot, stream him.
• 10:32
  And that's kind of where we're at here with Dan Radish.
• 10:34
  Defensive streamers are hard, especially when you're looking
• 10:36
  for points. So he's one of the names that
• 10:38
  can give you a better chance than not contributing in that
• 10:40
  section. Yeah, I'm not that high on
• 10:44
  Fowler fully rest of season. He he's just not that exciting.
• 10:47
  But to me fan Tilly is is an exceptional name without like
• 10:52
  he's a young player drafted high with a great opportunity to
• 10:55
  succeed playing alongside Marchenko, who's been unreal
• 10:59
  this season. So I expect big things from
• 11:01
  Fantilli and depending on how Nashville wants to deploy their
• 11:04
  power play. I really sorry Tapa depending on
• 11:08
  how Tapa wants to deploy their power play.
• 11:10
  I really think that Darren Radish is a nice guy to hold for
• 11:14
  the time being. He's also got some.
• 11:16
  He has two off night games this week, so that's nice to have.
• 11:20
  If you know you're full HD on the busy nights, you can play
• 11:23
  him on the other ones. And yeah, I think it's a really
• 11:26
  good option for a point scoring defenseman.
• 11:30
  These next three guys are honestly very exciting to me.
• 11:32
  So we got William Eckland, whose line 2P1, Pavel Zacha, line 1P1,
• 11:37
  Tyler Bertuzzi line 1P1. So all these guys First off the
• 11:40
  bat have great deployment and are going to get you some good
• 11:43
  minutes. Like they're going to play over
• 11:44
  15 minutes, absolutely, probably around 18 to 20 minutes
• 11:47
  depending on the night. But I like echoing the most out
• 11:50
  of these guys because he's playing with celebrity.
• 11:52
  Like the line 2 is kind of like a fake line too, because I feel
• 11:54
  like the line with Selena is going to be the main one and
• 11:57
  also that P1 exposure, right? So you're all up in that.
• 12:01
  And I mean, listen, he's a you said it before, he's a really
• 12:03
  highly talented prospect. He was he was a breakout
• 12:06
  candidate you mentioned in previous episodes recently.
• 12:09
  So I really like him this upcoming weekend.
• 12:11
  He can be one of those guys that you know, stays on your roster
• 12:13
  longer than anticipated. Pavel Zacha, I mean, we've been
• 12:16
  through this with the line 1C4 Boston throughout the whole
• 12:19
  season. It was Lindholm and Zacha.
• 12:21
  You're not getting the most points production out of that
• 12:23
  position. But I mean, listen, you can
• 12:25
  still contribute and getting that P1 exposure playing with
• 12:27
  Pasternack on 5V5 and on the power play.
• 12:31
  So if you're looking for points, the shots can be scarce at
• 12:36
  times, but it's all about the deployment here and streaming
• 12:39
  those points, I think is a great, great candidate for that.
• 12:42
  And Tyler Bertuzzi, mean listen, playing with Bedard, he's gonna
• 12:44
  have his those games where it doesn't do much, but he's going
• 12:48
  to have games where he's getting you a goal, two goals, maybe
• 12:50
  even hat trick and some shots. So playing with Bidard, you
• 12:54
  gotta stream that line. 1P1 is gonna get the good deployment.
• 12:58
  I'd be looking at streaming him this upcoming week.
• 13:00
  Really good options all around. I think Eckland may be my
• 13:04
  favorite season long hold, except for the fact that this
• 13:07
  upcoming week Tyler Bertuzzi has two off night games, so I think
• 13:11
  that gives him a little bit of an edge but.
• 13:15
  If you can fit him in your lineup then obviously that make
• 13:18
  the pictures get a better suit your lineup for this upcoming
• 13:20
  week. Absolutely, yeah.
• 13:22
  And for the whole season, though, I'm with you on Eckland
• 13:24
  because everything you said, Zach, is the biggest question
• 13:28
  mark to me only because I don't like he's been so good cuz
• 13:33
  Pasternak's been so good. And Pasternak has just been like
• 13:37
  impossibly good. There's no way he could keep
• 13:39
  this up even though he was due for positive regression.
• 13:42
  He's not getting over two points per game rest of season, so
• 13:46
  that's why I'm a little bit scared of Zaka.
• 13:48
  But you know, if you want that exposure to Pasternack, which I
• 13:52
  can't blame you if you do, this is the easiest way to get it so.
• 13:57
  Yeah, you're streaming. You're gonna be streaming
• 13:58
  assists from Zaca, most likely. His shots are not something to
• 14:01
  be relied on. You can get to zero shots.
• 14:03
  You can get your three shots. That's kind of like his range.
• 14:05
  Most likely will get you one shot, if I'm being honest.
• 14:08
  But you're getting an exposure to pass and getting those
• 14:11
  assists. I mean, listen, if you're
• 14:12
  playing 18 to 20 minutes a night, you're on the ice for a
• 14:15
  lot of time playing with some good quality.
• 14:17
  That's kind of what we're trying to go at this point with these
• 14:19
  low rosters guys. Yep, exactly.
• 14:23
  Next we have Barrett Hayton, Kappo, Kakko, Jaden Schwartz and
• 14:28
  Kent Johnson that would kind of put together.
• 14:30
  So Barrett, Hayton, his deployment, he's been getting
• 14:32
  some line 1 exposure, line 2 exposure, but he's settled on
• 14:36
  line 2P2. So I would keep that in mind.
• 14:38
  He also plays four games this upcoming week.
• 14:40
  So that's, you know, gives a little bit of advantage over
• 14:43
  these other guys. But yeah, I mean, points and
• 14:46
  shots are going to be getting from him.
• 14:48
  If you're in the faceoff league is also valuable there.
• 14:50
  Pure C. So a lot of all of those players
• 14:52
  are already clustered, so you might not need as many pure sees
• 14:55
  as usual, but he's a good option.
• 14:57
  Couple Coco line 1P2. I mean, listen, the resurgence
• 15:01
  from getting traded off the Rangers feel like strikes yet
• 15:04
  again for another young player, but he's been really solid.
• 15:07
  You can expect some good points. And I mean, listen, the
• 15:09
  exposures are good. I'm surprised it's not on PP1,
• 15:11
  but I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up there.
• 15:15
  And James Ford is kind of in the same boat.
• 15:16
  You're screaming for points some he gets you some goals and
• 15:20
  shots. I mean, listen, he's not.
• 15:22
  He's susceptible to the odd straight zeros game.
• 15:25
  But at this point, a lot of players are in this kind of
• 15:28
  range of roster percentage. But Seattle has a good schedule.
• 15:31
  I would look into that. Who's your favorite of this
• 15:34
  three? Like just rest of season and
• 15:36
  this week. 'S rest of season, I think I
• 15:39
  wanna bet on Jaden Schwartz just because I think his number, like
• 15:43
  his ice time, is probably the most reliable.
• 15:46
  He's had the same deployment the whole season, basically.
• 15:49
  Kapooka has been really fun though, ever since he got here,
• 15:51
  and I think he has the highest potential.
• 15:53
  I think both of those guys overbearing.
• 15:55
  Hatton for sure. Hate.
• 15:56
  I feel like it's just on a hot streak right now, but I wouldn't
• 15:59
  expect it to last too long. But listen, he's obviously a
• 16:01
  streaming option while he's hot and we want to give you options,
• 16:04
  all positions, left wing centres, right wings,
• 16:06
  defensemen. So that's kind of we're trying
• 16:08
  to do here. But yeah, that's how I would
• 16:10
  rank them. I think the Seattle guys are a
• 16:11
  little bit better than Hayden. Yeah, same here.
• 16:15
  And I mentioned Ken Johnson. He's really, I feel like he's
• 16:19
  really significantly slowed down in the category coverage, but
• 16:22
  his points production seems really kind of consistent
• 16:25
  because he's playing in the top six, He's getting that P1
• 16:27
  exposure. So he's lying 2PP1 and he's kind
• 16:30
  of always ends up on the scoresheet somehow, but you're
• 16:33
  not really getting any shots or anything else, right?
• 16:35
  So depends what you're looking for.
• 16:36
  If your league severely, severely values, you know,
• 16:40
  points specifically if you're in a points league, then great.
• 16:42
  If you're in a category league, he's not as valuable obviously
• 16:45
  because he's not really contributing those banger
• 16:47
  categories or just other categories besides points.
• 16:50
  So less there. But if you need points, I mean,
• 16:52
  listen, there's not many guys on waivers that can be reliably,
• 16:55
  reliably streamed 4 points that are disaster percentage owned.
• 17:00
  Yeah, I agree. Let's run through these next
• 17:04
  names. So Michael Bunting, Chandler
• 17:06
  Stevenson, Morgan Geekie, Bobby McMahon.
• 17:10
  I like McMahon a lot, so he's getting some better deployment.
• 17:15
  Line 1P1. This won't stick when the virus
• 17:18
  comes back and Matthew Nice comes back, but monitor the
• 17:22
  situation there. If they're not going to be
• 17:24
  healthy by the time you listen to this and you're streaming for
• 17:26
  these upcoming week, make man's a great option because he always
• 17:29
  gets volume in terms of shots and hits when he's playing 6
• 17:33
  minutes. So it's great he can get good
• 17:35
  points. Morgan Geekie has been honestly
• 17:38
  really surprising how much he's producing.
• 17:40
  Clearly I'm playing against some disk current week and it's not
• 17:42
  going well for me. So it's always like that, right?
• 17:45
  But line 1P2 Chandler Stevenson I'm less high on.
• 17:50
  He doesn't really contribute in the categories as much.
• 17:52
  But listen, Seattle has a decent schedule and you need a pure C
• 17:55
  and he can get you those points. He's playing on P1, so you know
• 17:58
  that exposure in itself is worthy to take into account for
• 18:02
  this upcoming week. But he'd be my least rid of the
• 18:04
  bunch. And Michael Bunting, I mean,
• 18:05
  listen, he's had the same deployment for awhile.
• 18:07
  And he's he for some reason, he is super productive on the power
• 18:11
  play, whether that's because he's playing with Cindy Crosby
• 18:13
  and his role in the power play. But if I had this, anybody from
• 18:17
  this list and bank on a power play point, it's gonna be
• 18:19
  Michael Bunting. So it feels like every week is
• 18:21
  at least getting you one of those.
• 18:23
  And I would really look into that, especially with the Malkin
• 18:26
  injury. I think he's playing more
• 18:27
  minutes overall. So keep that in mind.
• 18:30
  But yeah. McMahon is my favorite for this
• 18:33
  week because he's not as power play one dependent as the
• 18:38
  others. So even though Michael Bunting
• 18:41
  is probably my favorite rest of season, like you said, if
• 18:43
  McMahon is still on power play one then it's just a bonus.
• 18:47
  It's really nice to have. You got 7 Shaws last game at the
• 18:50
  time of this recording, so I really like McMahon.
• 18:53
  More he just won't be line one when nice comes back.
• 18:56
  So that's that's the only thing. That's a longer term injury
• 18:59
  though. So I saw Matthew Knights was
• 19:02
  day-to-day, I believe. Oh, I thought maybe I'm
• 19:05
  mistaken, but yeah, it's really contingent on an injury
• 19:08
  situation if it is the same idea that going into this.
• 19:15
  Week, No, I was mistaken. You were right.
• 19:17
  Noises out longer term so until after the Four Nations faced
• 19:20
  off. So I will probably thinking of
• 19:22
  somebody else but yeah so McMahon the deployment on line
• 19:26
  one at least seems reliable. So like you said, great, great
• 19:29
  for that. Yeah, I know.
• 19:31
  And so you know when to virus is back, which is more is gonna
• 19:35
  come before NYS than what I think what happened is that
• 19:38
  patch already who is currently on power play, one would get
• 19:41
  bumped off and it would be Tavares, Nielander, Matthews,
• 19:44
  Marner and then if McMahon is the guy there.
• 19:47
  That is great. For the time being.
• 19:49
  Yeah, that's sneaky good value. Yeah, So to me of the bunch that
• 19:55
  you mentioned, I'm super duper high.
• 19:57
  McMahon, I really like it. And Morgan Geekie is just kind
• 20:00
  of like a. Poor man's Pablo Zaka from
• 20:02
  appoints perspective. They're benefiting from
• 20:04
  Pasternak being amazing, that's what it is.
• 20:07
  So yeah, bunting is. Great, Steven.
• 20:10
  Yeah. Stevenson to me is my least
• 20:12
  favorite, but all decent options as always.
• 20:15
  But that's kind of my priority, like the way I'd prioritize it.
• 20:20
  Will round out these point streamers with Tony D'Angelo,
• 20:23
  Morgan Frost and Evgeni Dadonov playing line 2 CPU 1, Morgan
• 20:29
  Frost line 1P2 and of getting the dawn of line 1P2.
• 20:34
  So we're really we're scraping the bottom of the barrel here
• 20:36
  trying to give you guys a lot of deep options.
• 20:39
  I think Tony DeAngelo was scooped proactively and a lot of
• 20:42
  leagues when the Dobson injury happened and he got signed from
• 20:45
  the KHL. We've spoken about him in in
• 20:48
  previous episodes on what we think his rest of season outlook
• 20:51
  is. I think for this upcoming week,
• 20:52
  you can feel confident streaming if you need a defenceman.
• 20:55
  Morgan Frost, he was really hot for a couple of weeks,
• 20:59
  definitely slowed down, but he still a valuable streaming only
• 21:02
  playing line 1. That's something to take into
• 21:06
  account. The lack of people you want
• 21:07
  exposure does hinder his overall potential, obviously, and
• 21:10
  probably why he slowed down a little bit.
• 21:12
  But if you need a pure C and you're in a deep league, I think
• 21:15
  he's a great name. And the donor's still playing
• 21:17
  line 1, so that's a great P2 exposure.
• 21:20
  I mean, listen, you can only ask for so much when you're seeing
• 21:22
  somebody that's that low owned. But if you need a really, really
• 21:26
  deep league, I think he's a good name for this upcoming week.
• 21:30
  Yeah, I agree. I mean, D'angelo's a huge wild
• 21:34
  card right now. We'll we'll see how that shakes
• 21:37
  out. But yeah, I mean, this, this is
• 21:40
  this is a really low roster player, so prioritize the other
• 21:44
  ones. But if you're in a pinch or a
• 21:47
  really deep league, you could do worse than these guys.
• 21:50
  All right, let's get into the banger streamers for this
• 21:53
  upcoming week. Yep.
• 21:55
  So to start off, we have Blake Coleman averaging 2 1/2 shots
• 22:00
  and 2.2 hits over the last 30 days.
• 22:03
  That's really, that's really nice.
• 22:05
  I mean, Colman's been interchangeable between point
• 22:08
  streamers and Bangor streamers for the past few weeks because
• 22:11
  he's just been great. Overall, if you're a Coleman
• 22:13
  owner, you're very happy. And I think for this week it's
• 22:16
  really great. Then we could we could move to
• 22:20
  Josh Norris, who has four games this week, .5 Pimms, 1.6 shots,
• 22:27
  6.7 faceoffs and 2.6 hits. So this is this is an amazing
• 22:32
  option for Bangor categories. And I think that, yeah, I mean,
• 22:38
  even if you're league doesn't have faceoffs, it's still pretty
• 22:40
  valuable. But.
• 22:41
  The fact that he's left wing and gets those face offs, that's
• 22:44
  really nice. And then I'm going to round this
• 22:46
  one off with a guy who's got two off night games this week. 2.3
• 22:51
  shots, 3.4 hits. That's Will Cooley of the New
• 22:54
  York Rangers. You love Will Cooley.
• 22:57
  He's there. He's your boy.
• 22:58
  Will Cooley loves me. Yeah, I mean, I agree with
• 23:03
  everything you said. I mean, Josh Norris, he's been a
• 23:06
  banger management staple. Obviously we mentioned it a
• 23:08
  bunch of times, but he was injured.
• 23:10
  So we might have been dropped in some of your leagues.
• 23:12
  But in terms of pure seeds with better contributing in your
• 23:14
  banger leagues, he's one of the best.
• 23:16
  And right now it might be a buy low option 2 if you if he's not
• 23:19
  on your waivers and you can you can get him on your team that
• 23:21
  that be great. And will Cooley, I mean, listen,
• 23:24
  he's been banger stud the whole season.
• 23:26
  If he still on waivers in a banger league, you scoop them up
• 23:28
  if you need to stream for sure. And you can have some staying
• 23:30
  power as well. Yeah.
• 23:33
  And you know, with Cooley, he's he's now playing second line,
• 23:37
  which is relatively. New Rest in peace Chris Kreider.
• 23:40
  Yes, crazy, and he's also power play too.
• 23:43
  He's the centre, so that's interesting for faceoff
• 23:46
  opportunities if you're in a faceoff league.
• 23:48
  But really what it is with him is his Shaw Tits are amazing.
• 23:52
  These three players, to me, if you're in somewhat of a deep
• 23:56
  bangers league and they're not rostered, that should not be the
• 24:00
  case and you should absolutely be picking up these guys.
• 24:03
  They're fantastic for beggars leagues and good schedules this
• 24:06
  week, so it's a good time to pick them up.
• 24:09
  Then you got Brayden Schenn, who to me probably belongs in the
• 24:14
  points category because he's been so good.
• 24:15
  But let's mention him here because he's also amazing for
• 24:18
  bangers. You know, averaging .8 points,
• 24:20
  1.8 shots, 2.1 hits and 8.4 face offs.
• 24:25
  That's. Basically a double double
• 24:27
  almost. Yeah, yeah, this is, this is
• 24:29
  like this is everything you could want in a banger League
• 24:35
  player. He's really good.
• 24:36
  Fabian Zetterlund 2.3 shots, 1.5 hits and Nikita Zadorov who is a
• 24:42
  Pimm's monster 2.4 over the past month averaging per game 1.2
• 24:47
  shots, 2.3 hits and 2.2 blocks. Yep, all great options.
• 24:53
  I mean, we're trying to give you guys players that can not only
• 24:57
  contribute in the Bangor categories, but are not going to
• 24:59
  be like completely zeros for points as well.
• 25:01
  Like we want you guys to pick up players are gonna be overall
• 25:03
  relevant and just more relevant in Bangor leagues.
• 25:06
  And I think these guys all fit the description right.
• 25:07
  I love Brayden Schenn. I think right now he's hot and
• 25:10
  he's always been the guy that's going to be a really solid and
• 25:12
  bangers league specifically with face off wins as well.
• 25:14
  That's even better. Zetterling also mean hovering
• 25:18
  over a double double. These guys are always going to
• 25:21
  be people that you look at when you're trying to stream four
• 25:23
  hits. Yes, that's that's it.
• 25:27
  And you know, if you're in a Pimms league, Todorov's a nice
• 25:29
  guy to have. But yeah, Shen to me is just
• 25:32
  been fantastic. So it's a good gutter roster
• 25:35
  moving forward. Then you got Jake Neighbors 1.4
• 25:38
  shots, 2.3 hits. Jordan Stall, who has been a
• 25:42
  points stud that's probably going to regress, but his 1.5
• 25:46
  shots, 10.7 faceoffs and 2.6 hits.
• 25:49
  I think that that could be here to stay.
• 25:51
  So it's really nice in a bangers league.
• 25:53
  And then one a waiver wire episode if we didn't mention our
• 25:59
  favorite matchup, Olivier 1.9 Pimms 3 in .5 hits and 1.2
• 26:04
  blocks over the past month. He's just always here.
• 26:07
  Can't get rid of him even if we wanted to so.
• 26:09
  He's just the best banger guy to stream and on.
• 26:13
  I feel we just need to mention him because he's not a household
• 26:15
  name, to be honest, right? So if you're just tuning in for
• 26:17
  one of these first times on our waiver episodes, Matthew
• 26:20
  Olivier, he's arguably one of the most consistent bangers in
• 26:23
  the entire NHL. Great streaming option, 4
• 26:27
  bangers for your fantasy leagues.
• 26:29
  Not many players are averaging that high and level of Pimms.
• 26:33
  If you're in a Pimms league, which there's not many out
• 26:36
  there, but if you are, he's great and 3.5 hits and 1.2
• 26:38
  blocks from a forward position is that combination of both
• 26:42
  together is honestly very difficult to find.
• 26:44
  So he's great. And Jordan Stall, I mean, I know
• 26:46
  you're the biggest Jordan Stall fan, so there's that.
• 26:49
  You definitely benefits from having a rod playing with the
• 26:52
  lines, and he always ends up playing with either Davis or
• 26:54
  Shikhov, which is great for his production because he's going to
• 26:56
  get a lot of those assists. And I mean, listen, when you're
• 27:00
  doing 2.6 hits and 1.5 shots, you get considered in these
• 27:03
  banger streamer episodes. So yeah.
• 27:06
  Yep and for we just got a few more options for you.
• 27:10
  Martin Pospisil also always here 3.8 hits but also 1.7 shots and
• 27:16
  1.2 Pimms very good someone playing two off nights this week
• 27:20
  we have Ryan didn't night games this week we got Ryan Danato
• 27:24
  with two shots and 1.9 hits so close to a double double but
• 27:28
  also not bad with points as of late.
• 27:31
  Alexander Romanov, who is just. Like the best Baker in the
• 27:35
  entire league. Yeah, yeah, he's than an A
• 27:37
  monster lately, but he's also has .8 points that's gonna
• 27:41
  regress. So don't don't count on the
• 27:44
  points, but 1.4 shots, 1.9 hits, 2.6 blocks.
• 27:47
  So really good overall defenseman and someone I've
• 27:50
  never heard of Louis Crevier 1.3 shots, 2.1 hits, 1.5 blogs, but
• 27:56
  he's got two off night games. So that's really nice because
• 27:59
  he's not going to be rostered in too many leagues.
• 28:01
  And at the end of the day, you know you always want to have an
• 28:06
  option to pick up someone in a deeper league, so.
• 28:09
  Yeah. I mean prioritize the others,
• 28:11
  but still. Good to I mean, I think Romanov
• 28:13
  is one of the best Bangaly pickups you can do right now
• 28:16
  with how banged up but how banged up the island, the
• 28:20
  islands are. He's getting a lot more ice time
• 28:23
  and has really reflecting in his banger categories like he's
• 28:25
  averaging a lot more hits and blocks.
• 28:27
  He's also getting some points right now, but that won't really
• 28:30
  state this kind of just the icing on top of everything else.
• 28:34
  Donado. He honestly is just, you know, a
• 28:37
  victim of bad deployment. He could be so much better than
• 28:40
  he actually is, but he's still relevant for banger streamers.
• 28:43
  If you're in a deep league, just the points upside is just going
• 28:46
  to depend on where he's playing in the lineup that week and the
• 28:49
  week NBA. I mean, listen, we're going,
• 28:50
  we're scraping lower right here to give you some options, but
• 28:55
  2.1 hits, 1.5 blocks, hovering over a double double for
• 28:58
  defenseman. That's that's great.
• 29:00
  Yep. Before moving on to goalies, I'm
• 29:03
  going to ask Kevin permission for our reputation stakers from
• 29:07
  the point section this week because it's your house that
• 29:09
  depends on it so. You have my permission.
• 29:12
  We have Jonathan Drouin, Adam Fantilli and Bobby McMahon.
• 29:18
  What do you think? I think these are the best guys
• 29:22
  to pick for this upcoming week. I think all of these guys have I
• 29:26
  would say I mean Joanne Chantilly have long staying
• 29:29
  potential. McMahon obviously we'll have
• 29:31
  we'll have a significant value as long as nice and antivirus
• 29:35
  are out. But I.
• 29:36
  See with nice coming back too depending but.
• 29:38
  Yeah, but I mean, all three of these guys I think are the best
• 29:42
  streaming options for this upcoming week.
• 29:44
  I would really try to get them on your roster.
• 29:46
  And yeah, you're getting one of almost every position, right
• 29:49
  left wing, right wing, disable Ventis Pure C and McMahon left
• 29:52
  wing. So no matter what you need, you
• 29:55
  can get with one of these guys. And I really want to have them
• 29:58
  on my team for this upcoming week.
• 30:00
  I think I will have a house next week.
• 30:01
  That's basically what I'm saying.
• 30:03
  Nice. We all hope so.
• 30:05
  Cool, let's move on to goalies. So these are goalies who are
• 30:09
  going to get three games this week.
• 30:11
  Well, at least two starts. But yeah, I mean, they're the
• 30:16
  yeah. So we got Jake Allen, he's gonna
• 30:20
  get 2 starts and New Jersey Devil is they're playing
• 30:23
  Pittsburgh, Vegas and Montreal. I like this.
• 30:28
  Vegas is the toughest matchup, but they've been a bit all over
• 30:30
  the place. Montreal also never know what
• 30:34
  they could do. But overall, New Jersey is a
• 30:36
  good team, even though they've been also a bit inconsistent.
• 30:39
  And Allen's, they're going out with Mark Surmount, so it's a
• 30:42
  good option for you. Yep, I agree with all of these.
• 30:46
  I think Alan should be rostered way more than he currently is.
• 30:48
  He's at 38% rostered for the starting goalie for I mean, the
• 30:53
  team that has Stanley Cup aspirations.
• 30:55
  He's still widely available. I mean, Vegas is a tough
• 30:57
  matchup. And I mean, listen, we've seen
• 31:00
  you jersey kind of be in a rocky position as of late.
• 31:03
  So they could win or lose any of these games, but he's gonna
• 31:05
  start all three of these games most likely and give you a
• 31:08
  better chance to win than not in most of these games.
• 31:10
  So I really like him. Samuel Ersen has been one of the
• 31:13
  hotter goalies recently, which is crazy, but clearly I'm
• 31:17
  playing against him before this week.
• 31:19
  So lovely. Like he has been so.
• 31:22
  Good with, yeah. His numbers are crazy and I just
• 31:24
  saw that he's replacing marks from the Four Nations face off
• 31:27
  so. Exactly.
• 31:28
  Show how elite his production has been.
• 31:30
  I really like him. For this week, he's playing
• 31:32
  Utah, Washington and Pittsburgh. Philly is just a competitive
• 31:36
  team in every game, right? And he, he's looking like he's a
• 31:39
  solid goalie. So yeah, you're getting three
• 31:43
  starts most likely, but also you could get some strong quality.
• 31:48
  Yeah, exactly. I mean, they play Tuesday,
• 31:50
  Thursday, Saturday, no, back-to-back.
• 31:52
  So I'd expect them to get all those three games.
• 31:53
  Washington's a very tough team, but if Linger's playing, maybe
• 31:56
  they could win. And yeah, Utah and Pittsburgh
• 32:00
  are both totally beatable. So I really like Person for this
• 32:03
  week and then Dobb's. Dobesh.
• 32:07
  Thanks. Sorry, Dobesh.
• 32:09
  Don't insult the check your native like that.
• 32:12
  Yeah, I'd say I better check myself.
• 32:17
  Wow, you're still muted and. Not that hurts.
• 32:23
  Ha ha ha ha. Thank you.
• 32:26
  Thank you. We could we could edit out half
• 32:27
  of those Hawks because that was long.
• 32:28
  But that's fine, keep them in. But yeah, Jacob or Jacob, I
• 32:33
  don't know that part, Dobesh. So he's gonna get 2 starts this
• 32:36
  week because Habs play 2 back to backs, San Jose and LA and then
• 32:41
  also New Jersey and Tampa. So if he gets like the San Jose
• 32:45
  game, which is they could win and probably the New Jersey game
• 32:50
  is easier than Tampa as of late, but I don't know.
• 32:52
  But anyway, I like him versus a you know, I like him two starts.
• 32:57
  But to me this out of this list I'm taking Harrison easy.
• 33:01
  Yep, I mean essentially Ross and more than he currently is, but
• 33:05
  the but the bash 22% owned he was currently he I mean he was
• 33:09
  dropped after he lost his first game in the NHL against New
• 33:12
  Jersey last week. But I mean I would I would be
• 33:16
  very comfortable streaming him this upcoming week.
• 33:17
  You know you're getting two starts and the haves can beat
• 33:22
  any team. Listen, they're prone to
• 33:24
  conceding goals and that's unfortunate and especially with
• 33:27
  losing a kid and gully, that'll be even more difficult for them.
• 33:30
  But he's proven to be a good goalie and he can get you
• 33:34
  quality even if even if the Habs end up losing.
• 33:36
  So I'd be comfortable streaming in for two goalie stars this
• 33:39
  upcoming week. Yep.
• 33:41
  And then for a quality start. So this is someone who's going
• 33:43
  to get one start this week. You have Casey De Smith if he
• 33:47
  gets San Jose and not the LA Kings.
• 33:50
  Yeah, I mean, Dallas is a good team and he should be able to
• 33:55
  beat the Sharks. Calvin Pickard playing either
• 33:58
  Chicago or Saint Louis. Edmonton should win both of
• 34:02
  those, so it's good to have him there.
• 34:04
  And someone who hasn't been mentioned in Wow, it's been a
• 34:07
  long time. Justice is served on Noonan
• 34:10
  playing either Chicago or Buffalo.
• 34:13
  Yep, I mean, a lot of these back to backs have some good
• 34:16
  opportunities here. I think Dallas is a great team,
• 34:19
  right? So you'll you'll want to be able
• 34:20
  to stream the Dallas goalie anytime you can.
• 34:22
  LA obviously is a hard matchup. So but if he gets San Jose, I
• 34:26
  would definitely stream him against LA.
• 34:28
  I probably wouldn't if you're looking for a quality start.
• 34:31
  But Calvin Pickard, I mean, it's gonna be favored against Chicago
• 34:33
  and Saint Louis. We've seen both of those teams
• 34:35
  can pull out a win. But if I'm looking for a quality
• 34:38
  start, I rely on Picard depending on which game he plays
• 34:41
  and use this in Newnan. I was honestly kind of been low
• 34:46
  key better than Syros as of a very lately but but Chicago and
• 34:52
  Buffalo 2 very winnable games for the Nashville Predators.
• 34:54
  I'd be looking to stream on either of those games.
• 34:58
  So just make sure you're paying attention to which game these
• 35:00
  guys play and stream them accordingly.
• 35:04
  Yep, cool. So that wraps it up for this
• 35:08
