Fantasy Hockey Waiver Wire Players to Pickup

 Here are some players you should consider picking up for Fantasy Hockey:



David Krejci

David Krejci is back and it seems like he never left; Krejci centers  "The Czech Line", which features David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha. The line has gotten off to a terrific start and he has done a great job filling in for Brad Marchand on the Powerplay as well. Krejci has 1 goal, 3 assists, and 1 PPP, along with 15 FW so far this season. 


Nic Dowd

Nic Dowd is not a player who should be owned in standard leagues, but if you are in a CAT league, which includes FW and Hits, he should definitely be rostered. Dowd is top 50 in FW amongst centers so far this season and he leads Centers in hits. Down has 1 goal, 1 assist, 23 FW, 19 hits, and 3 blocks, which makes for a very good fantasy stat line.


Jaden Schwartz

Jaden Schwartz has gotten off to a terrific start to the season, putting up 2 goals, 1 assist and 2 PPP along with 13 SOG, and 8 hits. When healthy Schwartz is a very productive player, but the issue is he hasn't been healthy for the past two years. With a start like this, it would be tough to pass up taking a flyer on him because he is finally being played with NHL-caliber talent.


Gabriel Vilardi

It's crazy that Gabriel Vilardi is only rostered in 13% of Fantasy leagues with the type of start that he has had to the season. Vilardi already has 3 goals, 2 assists, 10 SOG, and is a +3 so far this season, playing on a line with fellow young studs Quinton Byfield and Arthur Kalieyv. That third line for LA has worked wonders and will be the reason why the LA Kings will be tough to play against this year.


Calen Addison

Calen Addison is going to be a beast this year for the Minnesota Wild if he can sustain the production that he has had early on in the season. Addison has 4 assists and 3 PPPs but is a -5 so far this season; while the +/- is bad, Addison's PP production may be good enough to offset that. Addison is playing on Minnesota's 1st PP unit at the moment so if he can remain productive in the spot, he will have fantasy value.


Arber Xhekaj

Not many people had this defenseman on their radar before the season began but now he has become a must-own player in banger leagues. Xhekaj already has 16 hits and 7 blocks along with 5 SOG to go along with 1 point, which is excellent production in leagues with hits and blocks. If Arber is still available for some reason in your league, scoop him up fast.


Karel Vejmelka

It is a big risk to own a goalie for the Arizona Coyotes but if you are in a league that counts saves and you need a 4th string goalie, Vejmelka might be the goalie you want to get. He has already faced 123 shots in 3 games and stopped 110 of them; his 110 saves is 15 more than the next closes goalie, John Gibson. Vejmelka is a high-risk high-reward pickup, but on a good night, you could get a 35+ SV win.

TIPS FOR DECIDING WHO TO KEEP FOR KEEPER/DYNASTY LEAGUES

Keeper fantasy leagues are a variation of traditional fantasy sports leagues where participants are allowed to keep a certain number of players from their previous season's roster onto their team for the upcoming season. The number of players that can be kept, as well as the specific rules regarding keeping players, vary from league to league and are typically determined by the league commissioner or by a set of agreed-upon rules among league members. In a keeper league, the kept players usually come with a cost, such as forfeiting a specific draft pick in the upcoming draft or having to pay a predetermined fee. This adds a strategic element to the game, as managers must decide which players to keep based on their performance, potential, and value relative to the cost of keeping them. 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 ...

Fantasy Hockey Keeper League Advice

Keeper leagues add a layer of strategy and long-term planning to fantasy hockey. Every keeper league has its own unique rules and scoring settings, so adjust your strategy accordingly. By following these tips and adapting to your league's specific dynamics, you can increase your chances of long-term success. Here are some tips to help you dominate your Fantasy Hockey Keeper Leagues. Number of Keepers and League Settings When deciding on keepers, it is very important to know how many keepers the league allows you to keep and the league scoring system, because there are players that work better in H2H CAT leagues as opposed to H2H leagues with standard scoring categories.  If you can only keep a few players, focus on those who provide the most value in your specific scoring format. Keep players who excel in categories that are heavily weighted in your league (e.g., power-play points, hits, blocks, faceoffs). If the league uses Rotisserie or Points settings, you will have to take that...
