Players to pickup in Fantasy Hockey

Marcus Johansson

Marcus Johansson is having a bounceback season and is off to a great start with Buffalo Sabres.
Centering a line with Jeff Skinner and Vladimir Sokotka, Johansson has put up 3 G, 5 Pts and 1 PPP along with 18 FW.
Marcus Johansson could be valuable in a deep league because he is eligible to play Center and LW.

Zach Aston Reese

Zach Aston Reese is a very valuable player to have in a deep league; due to injuries to key players, the Penguins have had to rely on the line of Zach Aston Reese-Teddy Blueger and Brandon Tanev to play heavy minutes.
Aston Reese has 2 G and 4 pts along with 15 SOG, 20 Hits and 6 blks so far this season, which is a really good fantasy statline.

Andre Burakovsky

Andre Burakovsky is off to a great start with the Colorado Avalanche and is major reason why the Avs have a 5-1 record.
Burakovsky has put up 2 G and 5 pts along with 2 GWG so far this season; he has fantasy value in most leagues because he has duel eligiblity on LW and RW.

Sean Walker

Sean Walker has been a plesant surprise for the LA Kings so far this season; he has 2 G, 4 pts, 15 SOG and is a +4.
Walker would be a good pickup if you need a defenseman in a deep league.

Brian Dumoulin

Brian Dumoulin isn't likely to be owned in a standard league but he could be a very valuable defenseman in a deep league.
Dumoulin has 2 pts, 10 SOG, 16 hits, 8 blks and is a +6 so far this season; Dumoulin is a great defenseman to have in a league that counts his and blks.

Joonas Korpisalo

Joonas Korpisalo is actually playing tremendous hockey for the Columbus Blue jackets but its going un-noticed.
Korpisalo has 3 W, a 2.60 GAA and .903 SV% so far this season.
For a team not expected to do well, Korpisalo and the blue jackets are surpassing the expectation set for them.
While Korpisalo is NOT by any means a stud fantasy goalie, he could be a solid 3rd goalie in fantasy.

Because of how bad Thompson's statline is this season. it would be a good idea to trade for him because you may not have to give up a lot in return.

If Lindholm gets dealt to a contending team, his fantasy value would drastically improve b

TIPS FOR DECIDING WHO TO KEEP FOR KEEPER/DYNASTY LEAGUES

Keeper leagues often provide a deeper level of engagement and strategy compared to standard fantasy leagues because managers need to consider long-term player development and roster management beyond
