DFS Thursday: A Wild Rebound; Ottawa’s Stuetzle/Tkachuk Duo; Value In San Jose

Brad Hayward

2023-03-02

The frenzy that's been a trade deadline WEEK isn't likely to be done a day early – I've been following the Dobber hockey authors for their takes on the fantasy implications, and the forum for the hysteria (LOL). Certainly, the Rangers, Devils and Maple Leafs have made big splashes into the pool of available talent, but sometimes it's those underwhelming depth pieces that win you Cups…the last three years proving my point. Tanner Jeannot and Michael Eyssimont?  Dmitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway? Ivan Barbashev and Teddy Blueger? There's a hidden playoff gem somewhere.

For Thursday's lineup, I'm again limited to Yahoo, as DraftKings isn't supported in Chile. I'll have my more "normal" look for Saturday's game props, and for next week.

I'm going to spend my money on wings tonight, so I've chosen two bounce-back centers for value.  After 10 points in 10 games, Joel Eriksson Ek ($20) has cooled somewhat – I see him as a good Wild stack with Kirill Kaprizov ($35) and Marc-Andre Fleury ($27). I've picked Brady Tkachuk ($28) and Tim Stuetzle ($25) to torment the B2B Rangers and Jaroslav Halak, and Cam Talbot ($23)to backstop the upset.   For defensemen, I chose two new Leafs to show their value against Calgary – Erik Gustafsson ($17), and Luke Schenn ($12). Left with just $14, I was surprised to see quality centerman Tomas Hertl there, playing at home against the shaky St. Louis Blues and their inconsistent Jordan Binnington

Good luck to all, and keep up with those trades 'til 3:00 PM Friday.

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.
