fantasy hockey podcast Woo. I kind of like that woo.

0:19
Oht my. Gosh, I feel bad.
0:21
He's still not here. He's still not here.
0:23
I know, I know he would be here if he could, but he's not with
0:26
us anymore. I'm kidding.
0:27
That sounds so bad. He's he's alive.
0:29
All the women out there, if he, if he wanted to, he would.
0:32
He, no, he is alive and well, but he's in a different

That was Finland fish. Is that?
1:12
Is that better? That helps, yes, Yeah.
1:14
Kevin encouraged me to do AA hockey oriented country and I.
1:19
Think if you're gonna do a different language, might as
1:21
well pick up language to care about hockey, you know?
1:23
Yeah, well said. I did Greek on the last episode.
1:26
Upon further reflection, it's not a big hockey country, but

2:58
reputation stakers went from last week.
3:01
So we had Brian Rust General? Yep, 2 assists, 2 points, one
3:08
power play points. That's WNR books.
3:11
A great stream. We have are they best stream of
3:14
all? Time we're so smart, guys.
3:17
This was. A crazy.
3:18
Please take our advice. Yeah, nice out Glass Onion,
3:22
Matthew. 9. Thinking about.
3:25
That I know you had. You had a locked and loaded.
3:28
Yeah, ever since that five point game, I, I literally thought of
3:31
it and I, I've been looking for an opportunity to use it.
3:33
So thank you to our listeners for allowing me to grace your
3:37
ears with such a pristine joke. Four goals, two assist, 6 points
3:41
in like what? What was it like three games?
3:44
Ridiculous. Yeah, he was.
3:45
He went off, but just not against me.
3:49
Yeah, yeah, he totally devoured it last week.
3:53
And then you have Nick Schmaltz. Boo.
3:56
Zero points. That's an L for sure.
4:00
But still, two wins on the season were 16 and 8.
4:03
So we're doing amazingly well, and you can do amazingly well if
4:09
you listen to our advice. So keep up the great work
4:11
everybody. This coming week, Week 15, you
4:15
have a few teams to avoid. These teams only play two games.
4:19
You have Boston, Buffalo, Carolina, Minnesota.
4:23
On those teams. There's a few decently got a
4:26
decently rostered guys who are droppable in order to pick up
4:29
some of the other streaming guys.
4:31
We're about to mention Boston and Minnesota.
4:33
You don't really have anybody. But on Buffalo you could do Owen
4:37
Power or Bowen Byram. Yeah, I mean, since Dalens back,
4:42
he totally is the sheriff in Buffalo.
4:44
You could just drop the other guys.
4:45
And then on Carolina, your bread burns.
4:50
It depends, right? Kevin, you were mentioning
4:51
there's some nuance. There.
4:53
Yep, yeah, I I mean, you'll, you'll probably hear it on the
4:57
episode with you this week for a drop hold.
5:00
But Brent Burns, if he's on P1, obviously he's roster able.
5:03
If he's not, he's a cut. That's pretty much it.
5:06
Yeah, that's straight to the point.
5:09
I like it. That's exactly it.
5:10
And yeah, there are teams with two off nights.
5:15
So even though Buffalo only has two games, check your schedule
5:19
out for this coming week because they do play on the off nights.
5:24
So because the busy nights are Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday,
5:27
that could be beneficial for you.
5:28
Carolina also, they they've got two off night games and then
5:34
Edmonton got four off night games.
5:36
Wow. They got a crazy schedule this
5:38
week. Yeah, pick up anybody there
5:41
except for Jeff Skinner, please, because he's not good.
5:46
Check out the draw hold from last week where we explained why
5:49
he should not be rostered under any circumstances.
5:52
But that's huge if they've got all the off nights.
5:55
That happens like a few times a year and it's always great to
5:58
roster guys from those teams. They're absolutely this one.
6:02
You can really make the most of it, especially on a lot of weeks
6:05
when they have a super heavy days like this week.
6:08
Yazir OK, so let's start with some shots on goal points, power
6:12
play points guys. So to begin we have Dylan
6:16
Holloway line 2, power play 2. He is, at this point a must own
6:21
and he's got three games this week.
6:22
He's 47% owned only, so he's right at the cusp.
6:25
But that 50% line that we're drawing, I mean, he's a, he's a
6:28
walking double, double at this point.
6:30
Ever since Jim Montgomery took the reins, he's been nuts for
6:33
fantasy. I mean, the Blues as a whole
6:35
have all been so much better. All their fantasy assets are
6:38
contributing, but he's really got the cat coverage to really
6:40
hold this down, and his performance would even get
6:43
better if he ends up on P1, which is not unlikely.
6:46
He's gotten some looks there recently.
6:48
Yeah, he's a must own moving forward.
6:50
I think for fantasy, if you're not in a Super Shadow League,
6:53
but 47% only, we might not be able to talk about it much
6:55
further. Yeah, this, this stretches
7:00
beyond this week for sure. I mean, at this point it's it's
7:03
elite, especially for Bangor leagues, but even for points
7:06
leagues got a really great floor with the back hats.
7:08
So yeah, you gotta add them. Then you got Pavel Buchnevich
7:13
line one power play, 1, three games.
7:16
I mean, same kind of boat as Holloway, doesn't really hit,
7:20
but yeah, I mean Line 1P1 is getting exposed to some of the
7:22
best players on the Blues. He's a great player in himself.
7:25
He's seen his his points to take a big spike since the new
7:28
coaching change as well. It means 45% owned.
7:31
So he's one of those guys that if you're in in a medium kind of
7:34
shadow league, he's got it. Absolutely should be on the
7:37
roster moving forward and for this week specifically, he's a
7:40
great stream. Yeah, I love it.
7:42
OK, Then we have Dmitri Voronkov, who I feel like at
7:47
this point I can't properly say his name because Josh just said
7:51
Warren Cobb so many times. So thanks, Josh.
7:54
I almost forgot which one was the correct way of pronouncing
7:56
it. It's Floyd Veronica.
7:58
That's what every announcer says.
8:00
And you know I. That's what I used to say, I
8:01
think. Sean Monahan literally taught me
8:04
how to speak Russian and him and Dimitri are BFS so I'm pretty
8:07
sure. I'm trusting Sean.
8:08
I'm not trusting Josh. Yeah, cool.
8:11
So Dmitri Voronkov, another must own at this point moving
8:14
forward. Line one, PowerPoint one and he
8:17
has three games this week. The only reason, the only reason
8:19
he's not more owned is literally just name value because his
8:22
production is insane. If it was anybody else with a
8:25
bigger name, they'd be like 99% on this point.
8:28
I mean, obviously you can't really expect this level of
8:30
production to continue for much longer like throughout the rest
8:34
of the season. But I mean, listen, would that
8:36
deployment and how the how Columbus is clicking right now,
8:39
it would be crazy not to have him on your roster, especially
8:42
if you have a spot open to stream.
8:44
He's clear candidate and he should be held until further
8:47
notice until his deployment either changes or they
8:50
completely slow down. Yeah, Kevin, said.
8:54
Noto, that means well said and finish.
8:57
Thank you. I completely agree with you.
9:00
Yeah, yeah, this is this mega slightly annoying moving
9:03
forward. But we should just pretend we
9:04
have like a third Co host replacing Josh and he only
9:07
speaks finish and it's just you saying everything that Josh
9:10
would say but didn't finish. People will be able to tell.
9:14
I'm dedicated to the craft, but I feel like that may be a step
9:17
too far. Just an ambitious enough.
9:21
OK, OK. Alright, next name.
9:23
I'm gonna leave now and add my. I'm gonna do the podcast by
9:26
myself and with my friend. Yeah, welcome in everyone.
9:32
I think that's how you say it. Oh, no, wrong language.
9:34
It's Terra Vetula. Cool.
9:38
Anyway, yeah. Love Aaron goblets.
9:40
Move on to Ryan O'Reilly line 1 Stam out.
9:47
I said line one if Stam is out. Oh, you could have asked post.
9:53
You couldn't. No, it was too many letters.
9:55
I wanted to be cool. Yeah, that's where we draw the
9:57
line. So if STEM is out, Ryan O'Reilly
10:05
line one, power play one. He's got three games this week.
10:08
I think he's an awesome ad banger leagues.
10:12
He's just been great recently. And over the last month, he's
10:15
like close to point per game, which is pretty crazy in itself.
10:18
He was not getting this level of production when he had better
10:21
appointment. So it's wild to see that he's
10:22
producing in this level with worst deployment.
10:24
But I mean, if he's going back to replacing Stamkos, I think
10:29
you can expect a lot this week. Yeah, you've got to hear me
10:33
roar, Ryan. O'Reilly our cool and but yeah,
10:37
it's it's Kat. I'm gonna leave and we're just
10:41
gonna do it. Don't do, you do.
10:43
You wanna do the whole podcast and finish because that's just
10:45
gonna happen. OK, So so yeah, tread lightly.
10:50
Moving on, we have Jonathan Huberdeau line one power play 1
10:53
four games this week. So it's like sell highs and
10:59
streaming guys go hand in hand. He was my cell high last week.
11:02
And you know, I'd say within that two week threshold, if you
11:07
will, he's still a must add because he has so many games.
11:10
He's been doing pretty well, not all long term hold you you wanna
11:15
sell him. And yeah, I mean, honestly,
11:18
maybe going into this week as a selling point, you could use it
11:21
for four games. But nonetheless, if he's on
11:22
waivers, pick him up, ride it for this week.
11:24
Tell him if you can as mentioned so.
11:26
One of the best schedules coming up this week, you have a
11:28
four-game schedule. They play Chicago, Saint Louis
11:31
twice and then Winnipeg. I mean Chicago, Saint Louis.
11:34
Those are teams that can give up a lot of goals.
11:36
This Calgary team is clicking right now, Huberdeau and I mean
11:39
the next guy we're going to mention Coleman as well.
11:41
I mean who were those 37% on Blake Coleman, 29% on he's
11:45
Colman's line 2P2. They both have four games.
11:48
They're both producing right now.
11:50
I think both of them are are clear ads for this upcoming week
11:52
and great streamers that are available in a lot of leagues.
11:56
Yeah, yeah, absolutely agree. Then you have Michael Bunting,
12:01
Line 2 Power play one. He's got three games this week.
12:05
We mentioned him quite a bit recently because he's getting.
12:08
The he's only he's only 16% owned, so he's still widely
12:11
available in almost 80% of leagues.
12:16
Listen, he's on the P1, he's getting crazy deployment and
12:19
it's working. It feels like every other game
12:21
is getting a power play goal or assist, which is honestly nuts.
12:24
You can't really expect this level of protection to continue,
12:26
but clearly they found something that worked for them because
12:29
he's been extremely solid like over the last month.
12:31
He's at almost a point per game, almost .5 power play points.
12:35
So if you're looking to stream specifically power play points,
12:37
he's the guy that I would really try to target ahead of the other
12:40
names that were mentioning. Also low key, if you're looking
12:43
long term, I think Pittsburgh becomes a seller of the
12:45
deadline. So if you end up holding him
12:47
more than than expected, I would expect him to be one of those
12:50
names that maybe gets dished out of the trade deadline and can be
12:54
better for your fantasy team. But right now it's super super
12:56
hot. Definitely worth a stream in the
13:00
deeper leagues. Yeah, I love this next one.
13:04
You got William Ecklund line one power play 2.
13:07
They've got three games this week.
13:08
I think especially for deep points leagues, Eckland is
13:12
totally underrated. I know that his peripherals are
13:16
a little bit weak, doesn't really get many shots or
13:18
whatnot, but you know, you're playing.
13:22
He has such consistent minutes and he has since last year.
13:27
So I I think that, you know, this is their former 7th overall
13:30
pick. They want to make it work.
13:32
I wouldn't be surprised if, you know, moving forward, he's just,
13:38
he's just gonna be playing that 19 plus minutes per.
13:41
Night and he's been playing those minutes are gonna have as
13:43
in it's really just a deployment.
13:45
I think it's the power play being on P2 really limits is
13:47
upside. But if he's playing with
13:49
celebrity or with Granlund, like he's gonna get decent linemates.
13:52
So it's just about the deployment and a hot streak.
13:54
I would say his peripherals are really I mean he's not going to
13:57
really be hitting or blocking his shots can really take a dip,
14:00
but he can easily get zero shots.
14:02
You can get four shots religious dependent on night, but his
14:05
points have been somewhat consistent all season.
14:08
So if you look in the stream points this week, he's 16%
14:11
roster. So he's available in almost
14:12
every league usually get the minutes like Jake just said,
14:16
he's definitely worth a look and he can be.
14:18
He has really good schedule coming up.
14:20
San Jose plays Detroit, Columbus, the Islanders, so not
14:22
really any juggernaut teams. They can win easily any of those
14:26
games and score a lot of goals, so I'd be looking at echoing
14:29
this upcoming week. Yeah, and for what it's worth, I
14:31
don't think Will Smith is a staple on that power play one by
14:33
any means. So realistically, especially if
14:36
going into the Monday, you could see that Echlin has overtaken
14:40
Will Smith on the power play one.
14:41
That makes him just all the more appealing.
14:43
So I really, really like him for this upcoming week.
14:46
Then you have Tyler Bertuzzi line one power play 1, three
14:49
games. He's been awesome recently, so I
14:52
really like it as an ad. The product of playing with the
14:55
with the Connor Bedard, I guess because he's line 1P1 and ever
14:58
since he's been there, he's been like a goal scoring machine.
15:01
So if you're looking for goal specifically, he's one of the
15:03
names that would target specifically on this list.
15:06
But besides that, I mean three games, Chicago plays Calgary,
15:08
Nashville, Vegas. Vegas is a really hard matchup,
15:12
but Calgary and Nashville can easily concede a lot of goals.
15:15
I'm looking at Tuesday to be a really good option that honestly
15:18
is producing at a level way above his roster percentage.
15:21
Let's get bed darted in here. Sorry I can't riff like forget.
15:26
You know that song, right? I do not but.
15:29
You don't know Let's. Well, anyway, they had to rename
15:33
the song You don't Know. Let's get it started by the
15:35
Black. Eyed peas.
15:36
Oh, yes, yeah, no, that's what you were saying.
15:39
Yeah, but wow, wow, by that off key.
15:43
What are the kiddos? Left you should hear me singing
15:46
finish OK anyway I renamed it let's get Bedard so I think I'm
15:52
very clever then you have Victor Olofsson line 2 power play 1
15:56
three games this week Allison's always you know when he's on a
16:00
hot streak he's fantastic so that's also I would say not he's
16:05
not buried on that line too they have tried him with stone and
16:08
Michael so we'll see how that goes but overall.
16:10
Before his injury, he was line one.
16:12
Now he came back from injuries line 2, but I wouldn't be
16:14
surprised if he ends up line one.
16:16
But the most important is that still on that P1 and he's a shoe
16:18
in for getting a lot of goals and shots.
16:20
Definitely worth a look. He's only 9% rosters.
16:22
He's available in 90% of your leagues.
16:24
So we're getting deep in the woods right here, but all of a
16:26
sudden is the type of player that doesn't have the name.
16:30
I mean, previously had the name maybe, but his production
16:34
severely outweighs his roster level right now.
16:36
So definitely Adam, if you're in those deep leagues, and I'd be
16:40
really excited about this upcoming week if you have them.
16:42
Yeah, yeah. And then least but not last.
16:47
I mean, he is lost. Yeah, no, it's, it's lost and
16:51
honestly kind of leased too, if I'm being honest, but only 3%
16:56
rostered, right? You got 1 deep here.
16:58
Yeah, you got Mac Coronado Line 2 power play 1 four games,
17:02
though I do like Coronado as an ad.
17:05
Of course, I'm less confident than in him than the other guys
17:08
that we mentioned. But you know, he he's been
17:11
pretty good and we're in a pretty deep angers league and
17:14
I'm definitely happy with his production.
17:16
Lavar especially the other game he got six shots, 3 faceoffs,
17:20
two hits. Not bad, not bad at all.
17:22
He also. Forgot US 3% owned.
17:25
His deployment is actually pretty great.
17:27
Crazy, crazy 191617, another 19 minute game.
17:32
Like you know, he got a few over 20 as well.
17:34
And he's a young guy. They want us, they want to
17:37
develop him. Not quite excellent pedigree,
17:39
but yeah, the Calgary likes him. Clearly they're given the
17:43
opportunities and as you mentioned before, Kevin,
17:46
Calgary's been clicking, so he's part of that.
17:48
He'll continue to be a part of that.
17:49
So definitely if you're in a deep league hold, he may be
17:53
available, so pick him up. Now, I guess we'll cover some
17:56
banger streamers for this upcoming week.
17:58
We'll we'll rattle these off a little quicker if yeah, if you
18:02
allow me, Jakey. Yes, I will.
18:04
Do it in English, not finish. Yeah, all good.
18:07
But wanted to mention the stats are gonna be mentioning it's the
18:10
last 30 days average. So if you hear some numbers,
18:14
that's kind of the rubric we're working off.
18:17
So I mean, we're going to see a lot of familiar names here
18:20
because we consistently mentioned them for banger
18:22
streamers. I mean, listen, if they're
18:23
available and they have a good schedule, like why not, you
18:27
know, just keep going back to the same guys if they're
18:28
available in your league. But in Josh Norris, Ottawa
18:32
Senators, they played four games this week.
18:33
He's 32% owned. He's a pure C, so that's a
18:36
little bit of a harder position to fill, but he's at almost
18:39
double, double, 1.75 shots, two hits a game, great for your
18:43
team. Will Cooley, arguably one of the
18:45
best bangers in the league, 31% owned, four games this upcoming
18:48
week with the Rangers. He's going to get you like
18:50
almost two shots a game, 3.53 point, six hits a game.
18:53
Great. Matthew Olivier from the
18:56
Columbus Blue Jackets, only 14% owned right, so he's available
18:59
mostly. He's a pure banger though,
19:02
getting you some hits and blocks from the forward position. 11
19:07
shot a game, Four hits a game, which is nuts.
19:09
Over a block a game from a forward is nuts.
19:12
We just can't really expect too many points from that position.
19:16
J Pageot. Three games, he'll get two
19:18
shots, two hits or another double double.
19:21
And he can sneakily contribute in the points as well.
19:24
Also valuable in faceoff leagues if you're in there.
19:26
Yeah, and Pajo I think is of Norris.
19:31
Norris, I really don't understand why roster so low,
19:33
but Pageo is a really elite cat coverage guy.
19:37
So if you're in a bangers league, deep bangers league, I
19:39
think you should be rostered centre right wing eligibility
19:42
and if faceoffs, as you mentioned, that's important.
19:44
So, but yeah, double double guys are not that easy to come by and
19:48
he does have that point subside once in a while.
19:50
So yeah, absolutely good. Was just on recently have like
19:52
some crazy games where he scored goals and got a lot of points
19:56
with the back Cats to complement that.
19:59
Yeah, yeah, he's a multidimensional player, so.
20:02
Good. Thank you.
20:03
His deployment did change recently where he was instead of
20:05
playing right wing on line one, he's now centering line 3.
20:08
So just something to keep in note.
20:09
Maybe his his play definitely changes, but you know, his
20:12
banger cats that were specifically recommending him
20:14
for are going to be consistent. But yeah, after Peugeot, I would
20:18
mention Martin Pospisil if he's still available in your league.
20:20
He's arguably one of the best bangers in all of fantasy on
20:24
Calgary's. They got four games.
20:25
He's going to really, really banking on just the hits.
20:28
He'll get you 4.5 hits a game, which is nuts.
20:31
Like if you have them on your team for four teams, he will he
20:35
can almost get you 20 hits in the week, which is just insane,
20:38
right. So we're in a category league,
20:40
definitely very valuable in leagues account hits for points.
20:44
Depending on what the metric is there could be very valuable as
20:46
well. Bobby McCann and you McMahon,
20:50
sorry, a new kind of it was Bobby McCann.
20:54
What The Who? Who's that?
20:56
But three games this week on Toronto, he's gonna get you some
20:59
shots, some hits and some points.
21:03
He is definitely one of the lower hit guys that we mentioned
21:05
on this in this section. Only 1.85, so almost a double
21:09
double because it's shooting over 2.
21:11
But I mean he's been really hot lately over the last 30 days .77
21:14
points. So one of those guys that you
21:16
know can contribute in the hits, but will really give you some
21:19
points upside as well. Yeah, he's been great for the
21:21
leaves and I, I think that, you know, he seems like kind of like
21:26
a hometown favorite vibe, the way he he plays the game.
21:28
He's been doing really well. And yeah, with .77 points,
21:32
clearly the hits aren't his main allure, but you know, if you
21:37
want a high floor, he's a perfectly good guy to pick up.
21:41
And out of everybody we're naming, I think at this stage, I
21:44
I trust McMahon most for points, maybe even over Norris, which is
21:48
crazy, but he's been really good.
21:50
So yeah, this this could be a more long term add even.
21:53
But for this week, pick him up. So he goes.
21:56
Yep and last but not least for bangers streamers, we got Josh
22:00
Manson of the Colorado Avalanche.
22:02
I mean he's been he's been banging a lot since he came back
22:04
from injury. I mean they really need some
22:06
guys because they they keep getting hurt even when they get
22:08
healthy, they get more injuries. So I feel bad for the Colorado
22:11
Avalanche, but he's he's shooting above 2A game, he's
22:14
hitting around 3A game and his blocks are are also like around
22:17
1.41.5. So I mean, his his stats are a
22:22
little bit subject to change given it's a small sample size
22:24
since his return from injury. But I mean, stream it while it's
22:27
hot. Colorado's got three games this
22:29
upcoming week. I would definitely look to to
22:31
Adam and see how that goes. Yeah, absolutely.
22:36
So let's move on to some goalie streamers.
22:38
So these girls are going to get you at least two starts.
22:43
Yeah. So a couple returning names from
22:46
this list. You got Carella, Melka.
22:49
They're playing the Habs, the Rangers and the Blues.
22:55
I mean, he might get all three games.
22:56
What a world where I was about to say like, yeah, jobs are
23:00
easy, Rangers are tough, Saint Louis mediocre.
23:03
Actually, I think it's the opposite.
23:04
I think they Canadians are the toughest team in this week for
23:08
them, honestly, they can win. They're the type of team that
23:11
could beat anybody and lose to anybody.
23:14
I know that that sounds obvious, but like, you know, they high
23:17
floor, low ceiling type team, very volatile, but yeah, good
23:20
at. This point we know we're getting
23:22
with milk. He's been on our show
23:23
consistently. He's always hovering right below
23:26
that 50% mark. So it's like one of those
23:28
reliable goals you can always pick up on any given week.
23:30
Let's get an injury or you need some starts in your schedule is
23:33
bad for your goalies. He's that guy that's going to be
23:36
there in half your leagues. Pick him up.
23:38
You know you could get to three starts every week and some
23:41
quality as well if you're lucky. Yeah, then you got Cam Talbot.
23:46
I I guess a little caveat here is kind of like whoever the Red
23:49
Wings starter. Is pretty much but Alex Lyon
23:51
just left last game injured so Talbot may be the guy if line is
23:55
not healthy to go. Yes, if it is Talbot, he's a
24:00
great ad. The I think of the party's going
24:04
to party's gonna end for the Red Wings sooner than later, but I
24:07
mean, perhaps next week they'll still keep the ball rolling.
24:09
So I mean, this upcoming week is going to be tough, right,
24:11
because they they play San Jose to start the week, which is
24:14
fine. But then it's Florida, Tampa,
24:16
Dallas. So the party may be over this
24:18
upcoming week, but this is this is a quantity play as opposed to
24:21
quality play. Yeah, well said.
24:24
Then you got Elvis Mursley, Akins.
24:26
The Blue Jackets are playing Philly, San Jose and the
24:29
Rangers. I think that they can win all
24:32
these three games. It's kind of similar to the Utah
24:35
where, you know, they can win. They could beat any team or they
24:40
could lose to any team. There's no predictability with
24:42
these teams at the end of the day.
24:44
But truly Columbus can beat these teams.
24:47
Like reasonably possible. So I mean, there's a reason why
24:50
Elvis is only 25% owned and it's because, yes, he's starting
24:55
basically all the games for Columbus, But they they they
24:59
play a style of play where you know they're winning games like
25:01
65, right? It's not those two one games
25:03
where you know you're getting a good save percentage when it's
25:06
when it's a win is like almost all their games end up being
25:08
shootouts. So you gotta expect me.
25:11
The quality is not gonna be that high.
25:14
But if you're just looking at getting saves and starts like
25:17
he's the guy to get off waivers, right?
25:20
He's 25% owned. 3/4 of your league is gonna be on waivers.
25:24
If you're desperate, he's the guy you look at.
25:27
Yep. And then you have Yaroslav
25:29
Askarov at 20% owned. They are playing Detroit,
25:33
Columbus Islanders. You know, we've mentioned him on
25:37
an earlier episode. I think that this is an
25:40
extremely exciting opportunity to pick up a goalie off waivers
25:43
who is going to be a part of a young, inconsistent team.
25:46
However, his ceiling is easily the highest out of all these
25:51
goalies. His floor is probably the
25:54
lowest. I mean, like Elvis is floor is
25:57
pretty low too and Talbot, you know, if if lions there, who
26:00
knows, But I think Askerov is the type of guy that you you
26:03
should definitely roster him, you know, for this week against
26:08
reasonable opponents, I would say.
26:11
Yeah, I think I'd like to ask her more than Elvis this
26:13
upcoming week. Yeah, me too, Me too.
26:15
I mean, just spitballing here though, but if I had to rank
26:18
these for this upcoming week if Talbot is the starter caveat,
26:24
but we'll see. But anyway, Talbot would be my
26:26
favorite. Then I would say Malka, then
26:29
Askarov, then Elvis. How about you?
26:31
I would put America first and then ask ROV, then Elvis, then
26:37
Talbot. I think Talbot is my least
26:38
favorite just because he's toughest competition.
26:41
Fair. So I know where we're looking at
26:44
quantity here, but also I think Velka is easily to get three
26:47
games. I think the other goals are most
26:50
likely to get at least 2. So it's one of those things
26:53
where I'm just trusting the matchups a little bit more.
26:55
I think they have the exact opposite schedule.
26:58
So we'll see who is right this time next week.
27:01
No reputation takers for that one though.
27:03
That's just that's just a list anyway.
27:04
And then we got a quality start. So this is someone who's going
27:07
to get a really good start that you could consider picking up.
27:10
Got Casey. Will say this week harder for
27:13
the quality starts, not many, many, many back-to-back.
27:16
So it was kind of slim pickings when you're when you're looking
27:18
at the matchups. Yeah.
27:20
So the Smith Sunday versus the Detroit Red Wings, I think, I
27:26
think that's a good one. Dallas is gonna be heavy
27:28
favorite against Detroit, so if you're looking to stream of win
27:31
come Sunday, that's gonna be one of your guys.
27:34
Let's see what happens. I mean, the Red Wings have been
27:36
on fire, but yeah, I mean. But.
27:39
If the party it's true, it's true previous.
27:42
I mean, I do think that like eventually things are going to
27:45
turn around. But yeah, they do have a tough
27:47
schedule. Dallas is a considerably better
27:49
team. So probabilistically this is a
27:52
good choice. Smith.
27:53
Anything gonna happen, but we're playing the probabilities here.
27:56
Yeah, then he got Yakub Dobbs playing the New York Rangers on
28:01
Sunday. He's been so good for the
28:03
Canadians. Who knows how long that's going
28:08
to last also, but yeah, it could be a really good option.
28:10
Playing playing the Rangers on on streaming against the Rangers
28:14
can go either way really because they've been really bad.
28:17
But we know that they're capable of having a good game.
28:20
But I mean, double s have been solid.
28:22
I'd be making on it. If I really was desperate for
28:25
one quality start, I'd look into it.
28:27
Yeah, and last but not least, I literally said least knows.
28:32
That's why he said that. OK, cool.
28:34
That makes sense. Yeah, last, but I'll least you
28:37
got Jake Allen playing either Philly or Ottawa on Saturday.
28:40
Sunday. This is the double s are.
28:43
One of my favorite stream. League, yeah, one of the best
28:46
teams in the league. So you pick them up and good
28:49
chance you're gonna get the win. That's true.
28:51
Yeah, exactly. I think the last time we have to
28:54
cover is our refuge stake, reputation stakes for the week.
28:58
That's true. I forgot.
29:00
OK, So will Kevin have a house? Will Kevin have a house?
29:06
Yeah. The reputation stakers.
29:08
For this week we have Ryan O'Reilly, Jonathan Huberdeau and
29:15
William Eckland. I'm very confident in those.
29:19
I mean, listen, two out of three of those guys that only have
29:21
three games this week, I think the best streamers are on
29:23
three-game teams. So we're putting our money where
29:25
our mouth is, We're putting Kevin's house where our mouth
29:28
is. So we'll see how it goes.
29:30
But we've been successful as of late.
29:32
So listen, I'm confident. Yep, that's yeah, that's it.
