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.

  1. 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 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...

Fantasy Hockey All Star Edition Defenseman

 These are the best defenseman so far this season in Fantasy Hockey: Rasmus Dahlin Rasmus Dahlin has been by far the best defenseman in Fantasy this season, and it isn't close; he has 13 goals, 35 assists, 23 PPP, 119 SOG and a +16 rating on a bad Buffalo team. If Dahlin can sustain this type of production for the rest of the season, he will be a favorite to win the Norris trophy. Cale Makar Cale Makar has been a tad bit disappointing considering he was a top 5 pick in most fantasy drafts, but he is still having a fantastic season; he has tallied 13 goals, 30 assists, 21 PPP, 136 SOG, along with 3 GWG and a +7 rating. His dip in production may be due in large part to the injuries on Colorado, but as the team gets healthy, look for a strong second half from Cale Makar and Colorado. Roman Josi Roman Josi has once again been the best player for the Nashville Predators, putting up 12 goals, 23 assists, 17 PPP, 187 SOG, 4 GWG and a surprising 100 blocks, which is only 33 shy of last yea...

FANTASY HOCKEY WAIVER WIRE PLAYERS TO PICKUP

C Sean Couturier -After missing 2+ years, Sean Couturier is back and it seems like he hasn't missed a beat. Believe it or not, Couturier has been one of the top centers in the league so far with his all-around play, putting up 2 goals, 3 assists, 2 PPP, 63 FW, 24 SOG, and 1 SHP. Despite showing that he is still an elite center, Couturier is only owned in 20% of fantasy leagues. Pick him up now, while you still can. Ryan Johansen - Serves as the Avalanche's 2nd line center and plays on their all-world 1st pp unit. Despite not being the player he used to be, Johansen is still a valuable fantasy asset because of the players he plays with. Johansen has 4 goals and 4 PPPs along with 63 FW so far this season. He is owned in 29% of fantasy leagues. Sean Monahan - Someone must have gotten a time machine and put Sean Monahan in it because he is playing like he was back when he was in his prime. Monahan has been arguably the best player on Montreal this year, with 3 goals, 6 points, 2 PP...
