The most favourable schedules in Fantasy Hockey for Week 21.

 

March is the month that tries fantasy hockey owners' souls. The season is winding down, the stakes are high, and just about every lineup move has repercussions. So it's comforting for poolies to know the following four players should be available on waiver wires far and wide if their (admittedly somewhat modest) services are needed. Each and every one of them has been playing well as of late, and the cost to acquire them is pretty low. Take a shot on them. Who knows? It may pay off…  

 

Zack Kassian, RW, Vancouver (Available in 93 percent of Yahoo leagues) – Is Kassian a well-rounded, versatile player? No. A viable top-six forward on an above-average NHL team? Maybe. A useful short-term fantasy asset? Definitely. The former Buffalo Sabre and 2009 first-round selection has evolved into a solid goal-scoring power forward, and his fantasy value has taken a significant turn for the better as of late. In addition to seeing action on the same line as the Sedins, Kassian has joined Henrik, Daniel and their former (for now) linemate Radim Vrbata on Vancouver's top power-play unit. Kassian's lack of ice time and limited skill set curb his potential some, but he will be a useful lineup option in deep leagues and a usable injury replacement in shallow formats as long as maintains his current role.
