Top 10 guys likely available on the waiver wire in your fantasy hockey league…
Not everyone can have a perfect draft. That's why the waiver wire was created.
Some of the most successful managers know how to use the waiver to their benefit. They look for players on hot streaks, rookies making their debut, or penalty guys playing against their former teams.
Klingberg is the latest hot thing in defensemen this season (following in the footsteps of Damon Severson and Trevor Daley), but there are some good signs that he can keep it up. In just seven games, Klingberg has two goals, six points, a plus-three, six pims and eight shots. He's already averaged 2:20 per game of power play ice time per game and 23:36 overall per game.
1. Marcus Johansson, 18 percent owned
While Johansson has slowed down a little bit recently (just one point in his last five games), there's plenty of optimism for Johansson this season. Here are the top Washington power play lines so far this year, according to Frozen Pool:

The fact that he's playing on the Capitals top power play line more than half of all Caps power plays is a great omen. He averages 2:47 a game on the power play, although he's averaging just 16:24 overall. So while his last five games haven't been that great offence-wise, it's a great sign that the coach trusts him enough to keep putting him out there with the likes of Ovechkin and Backstrom.
