Fantasy Hockey Advice Left Wingers to Drop

 Here are some Left Wingers you should consider dropping:



Andre Burakovsky

Andre Burakovsky got off to a hot start to the season with the Seattle Kraken, but in the last two weeks of the season, he has failed to register either a goal or a point. Burakovsky is still owned in 43% of fantasy leagues, but that number will decrease drastically if his scoring slump continues. Burakovsky has a track record of being highly inconsistent, I would consider dropping him if you find better options on the waiver wire.


Tyler Bertuzzi

Tyler Bertuzzi is having a rough season so far, only having recorded 1 goal, 3 assists, and 1 PPP in 9 games. Bertuzzi has been injured twice already this season for an extended period of time and his production doesn't warrant using an IR spot to keep him. If you still own Bertuzzi, I would cut bait now because you could probably still pick him up when he is healthy again.


Alexis Lafreniere

Alexis Lafreniere was a healthy scratch recently for the New York Rangers, and before that had only recorded 1 point in the last two weeks. If Lafreniere is not moved to another team, I don't see him turning his season around, so I would probably drop him and replace him with better players.


Anthony Cirelli

Anthony Cirelli has been decent since his return to the lineup for the Tampa Bay Lightning, tallying 1 goal, 7 points, 1 PPP, 35 SOG, 78 FW, and a +3 rating. Cirelli doesn't particularly excel in any category and has failed to register a point in the last two weeks. I would consider dropping Cirelli in favor of players who can fill up garbage categories.


Ivan Barbashev

Ivan Barbashev is having a slow start to the season, having only put up 5 goals, 11 assists, 3 PPP, 56 SOG, 80 hits, along with 1 GWG. Barbashev hasn't been getting much of a chance to showcase his offensive skillset with St.Louis this season, as he has bounced around the lineup frequently. Barbashev is owned in 14% of fantasy leagues, and that percentage could decrease if he continues to have scoring woes.


Jaden Schwartz

After a red-hot start to the season, Schwartz only has record 2 points and a -5 in the last month of the season. Schwartz is owned in only 5% of Fantasy leagues, and is not fantasy relevant anymore unless you are in a deep league.

    Not sure I would drop Barbashev in a week Tarasenko and O'Reilly both got long term injuries. He is about to get an instant promotion to PP1 and Brayden Schenn is being moved to C

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. This is a terrific stat line and although you can't count on Sissons scoring a ton, he will fill out the FW, Hits, and blocks usually. 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
