The best bargains for Daily Fantasy Hockey this Saturday, March 21.

Top Budget Plays

Centers

Chris VandeVelde $2,500 –Yes the reaches get to be plenty here but that is the fun part with daily fantasy. After all, what is the point of playing if you keep on generating the same generic lineups that other people create? Basically if the center from Philadelphia gets you even an assist, then value is achieved and anything more than that would wind up being a bonus. Minimum dollar spends are like punts. They either work out or it helps you buy a player that will almost certainly produce.

Wingers

Gabriel Bourque $2,600 –Will the lines from practice on Friday actually stick? If they do, then Bourque is in the top six. At the very least, Bourque will be showcased so that other teams can see what upside he may have so they can sign him. At one time two years ago the forward was on the ice for 15-16 minutes a night and seeing solid power play time. Maybe he can discover that old magic that seems long gone. Nashville really does not have too much to lose here.

Defensemen

Thomas Hickey $3,000– There really is a limited window on Hickey but against New Jersey, he becomes a pretty good option. This is a fun time of year to take some risks and see if some of these younger plays turn into something. Hickey has shown flashes but again is often blocked by the Islanders' depth as far as defenseman. The blue-liner usually hits right about where he should. There are worse options out there. Roll the bones!
