Fantasy Hockey Waiver Wire: Defenseman to Pickup

Here is some Defenseman to pickup in Fantasy Hockey:

Alec Martinez

Alec Martinez may not have the offensive production he used to have and he is almost allergic to throwing hits, but he league leader in blocked shots with 51. Vegas has played 11 games this season, which means that Martinez has an average of 4.63 blocks per game, which is remarkable at the age of 35. Martinez doesn't really do much else besides blocking a lot of shots but if your team does need more blocks, Martinez is the guy to add, if still available.

Adam Larsson

Surprisingly Adam Larsson has 2 goals and 3 points and is a +7, early in the season, but what is not surprising is that he has 16 SOG, 23 hits, and 21 blocks. Larsson has been consistently a reliable source of hits and blocks in the past few years, and while his offensive production drops off, he should help you garbage categories. Larsson is owned in 18% of fantasy leagues and would be a very valuable defenseman in a CAT league.

Connor Clifton

Connor Clifton is quietly putting together a monster season in the absence of Charlie McAvoy and has been a massive part of the Bruins' early season success. He has 4 points, 19 SOG, 34 Hits, and 16 blocks and is a +3 so far this season, and is a defenseman that can fill up the garbage categories for you. Clifton is owned in 26% of fantasy leagues, but he should be owned in more leagues, especially in CAT leagues.

Jamie Oleksiak

Jamie Oleksiak has always been a hidden fantasy hockey gem if you are trying to fill up the stat sheet in fantasy hockey. Oleksiak has 2 goals and 4 points along with 34 hits and 20 blocks so far this season but is a -3. He is only owned in 5% of fantasy leagues because not many people are paying attention to the Seattle Kraken, who have quietly assembled a solid team.

Brenden Dillon

Brenden Dillon may not do much for you offensively, but he will give you a solid number of hits and blocks every night. He is only owned in 9% of fantasy leagues, and would really only have value if you are in a deep league or in a league with hits and blocks. Dillon is a solid option, if you want to add more hits or blocks to your lineup.

Adam Pelech

Adam Pelech has been an underrated defenseman for a long time; he quietly puts up solid numbers but never gets the recognition he deserves. So far this season, Pelech has 4 points, 13 SOG, 18 hits, 18 blocks, and is a +6, which is not flashy but is solid. Pelech is owned in only 4% of Fantasy Hockey leagues and would help many fantasy teams, especially deep rosters.

Fantasy Hockey Forwards to Trade For

Here is a list of Players who you should consider trading for in Fantasy Hockey. Tage Thompson Tage Thompson had very high expectations of him heading into this season but has been a massive disappointment to this point in the season with only 7 goals, 8 assists, 4 PPP, 60 SOG, and 99 FW. Thompson has been better after coming back from injury and you would think that he is going to eventually start putting points in bunches. 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. Elias Lindholm Elias Lindholm is another player who has had a slow start to the season with only 7 goals, 10 assists, 3 PPP, 68 SOG, and 297 FW so far this season. Lindholm is definitely going to want to play better if he wants to increase his value for his next contract and also showcase himself for a trade at the deadline. 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 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 WAIVER WIRE PLAYERS TO PICKUP

Here are some players you should pickup in Fantasy Hockey, sorted by position. Center Colton Sissons Colton Sissons is one of the best 4th line centers in the league, but in fantasy hockey, he could be even more valuable than he actually is in real life because of what he provides in the peripheral categories. So far this season Sissions has 5 goals, 1 PPP, 1 SHP, 12 PIM, 20 SOG, 89 FW, 15 hits, and 9 blocks.

Sissons is owned in 6% of fantasy leagues, snag him up while you can. Nick Bjugstad Nick Bjugstad is having an excellent year so far with the Arizona Coyotes, in fact he has played so well that he earned himself a promotion to play on the 2nd line along with Mattias Maccelli and Lawson Crouse. Bjugstad also gets time on Arizona's 2nd PP unit and 2nd PK unit. Bjugstad may not be a name who stands out to casuals, but his fantasy stat line is
