Top 10 fantasy hockey players to sell high on right now
With the all-star game just behind us, it's a good time to gauge exactly where your team sits, and how you can make it better for next season if you're out of it, or maybe even the rest of this year if you're still competing.
Selling high on players having career years is the best way to do so. Guys who sold Duncan Keith, Patrick Sharp and Semyon Varlamov last year are reaping the benefits this season.
Of course, sometimes it's hard to tell who is a good sell-high candidate having a career season, and who is just stepping on the road to superstardom. So while Jakub Voracek, Vladimir Tarasenko and Kyle Okposo are having great seasons, they do not qualify for sell-high as it wouldn't be crazy to think they can continue a high pace for a few years.
Here are the top 10 sell-high players.
10. Tyler Johnson
This was the hardest guy to judge for this list, and probably the toughest in any fantasy league. Is he legitimately a top-10 point guy in the league who can score at a point-per-game pace for a few years? It's a tough call. He comes with a lot of positives: He's still young, plays on a great offensive team, is eighth in the league in points, has plenty of hype, etc. I put him in sell high because you may never get more for Johnson than what you'll get now.
Many poolies think that because he's been healthy and has been piling up the wins, Halak is having a great season. But he's actually been struggling fantasy-wise, and is only doing well because he's playing behind the league's second-best offense. He's got 25 wins (third in the league) and four shutouts (fourth), but has been struggling with goals against average (his 2.41 is 18th in the league) and save percentage (at .910, he's ranked 29th). Though to be fair, after the first seven games those numbers were 3.08 and .903 so they have been climbing. But we’re also waiting for his inevitable injury to happen. This could be a good chance to sacrifice some wins in order to upgrade save percentage and goals against average.
