Since we saved some money on the budget plays let's look at the few of the pricey options that are worth paying up for today.

Centers

John Tavares $8,900–Sometimes playing the same player works because honestly Tavares just tends to come up with good performances against New Jersey. Four points in three games against New Jersey is not spectacular but it is good enough. A multiple-point night is not out of the question considering how poorly New Jersey plays on the road and the fact that the Devils do not generate much in the way of pushback. Who would be able to take on the center anyway? Travis Zajac? Oh boy! Just take it easy and let those points flow.

Wingers

Rick Nash $8,300 –You have to figure that since Nash is not playing a playoff team that he should be able to find time and space against a Carolina team that he tends to do well against. Yet this year he has just one goal in four meetings against the Hurricanes. The shots are there but the goals and points just are not. Has anyone noticed that the left winger is also playing a hair more than a minute less a game lately to stay fresh for the playoffs? Most probably did not unless you own him in season long leagues. At any rate, you still want to own Nash because of all those shots and yes power play and point potential.

Defensemen

Erik Karlsson $8,500 –This is where I try to spend and Draft Kings says you shall spend on the best defenseman arguably in all the daily fantasy land right now. Toronto is one of the three teams you should exploit and Karlsson is happy to do so. The two meetings have produced at least four scoring chances in each game and three points in the meetings. This is how you have to look at it. People will take this and enjoy the numbers. If he hit his average against Toronto, that is well less than $1,500 per point.

Goalie

Cory Schneider $8,300 –The price is not that bad considering the production, save percentage, and more. Consider how much Carey Price is going for and this decision may be more of a gamble but a lot of people may just play the Price anyway. Both of these goalies have been incredibly hot in the last two plus months. Personally, Schneider has been as good or more consistent. The difference is the team in front of Schneider makes it a challenge. Let's face it! At the very minimum, the New Jersey goalie is going to see lots of rubber.
