Fantasy Impact: The New Jersey Devils have signed winger Michael Ryder to a two-year deal worth $7 million.

 

 

The Devils get: a five-time 25-goal scorer (and last season pro-rates to a sixth time). Other than a couple of off-years with Boston, Ryder has been a consistent 55- to 60-point producer. He does tend to wear out his welcome with a team after two years (in terms of production slowdown and coach frustration). So actually, this contract really fits.

 

 

Fantasy Players Impacted: Ryder joins a team in desperate need of a second-line scorer on the wing. Talk about custom-made! There is no reason why Ryder can’t get 30 goals and 60 points this season.

 

Without this move, maybe Dainius Zubrus gets some time on a scoring line. Without this move, maybe Mattias Tedenby gets another look. Neither will happen now, but we expected as much. We knew the Devils would sign a winger of this mold and sure enough they have done so.

 

 

Potential Line Combos (I’ll take another stab at this, much as I did in the Ryane Clowe breakdown):

 

Patrik Elias – Travis Zajac – Ilya Kovalchuk

Ryane Clowe – Adam Henrique – Michael Ryder

Mattias Tedenby – Andrei Loktionov – Steve Bernier

Ryan Carter – Stephen Gionta  – Dainius Zubrus

Stefan Matteau – Jacob Josefson – Krys Barch

 

 

 

Fantasy Players this helps, in order:

1. Ryder

2. Adam Henrique (or Travis Zajac, whoever misses out on playing with Kovalchuk

 

Fantasy Players this hurts, in order:

1. Tedenby

2. Zubrus

Keeping Karlsson Short Shifts – The Wilkes-Jarry Penguins

Elizabeth and Lewis are back to take listeners through a host of power play changes that are giving managers the opportunity to get exposure to great players off the waiver wire, including Philly, Jersey, and Tampa talk. They also cover Jarry’s AHL demotion, Cooley’s ascension to the top-line and powerplay, and injuries to Tavares and Hintz. The duo wrap up with some hot and cold streak deep dives, including discussion of the Red Wings crazy powerplay success in the last ten games, whether Erik Gustafsson is rosterable or an overperforming illusion, Fantilli’s continued success, Merilainen as Hamburglar 2.0, and whether Schenn’s success and Neighbours’ lack thereof are likely to continue.
