Fantasy Hockey Waiver Wire: Playoff Edition

The Fantasy Hockey Playoffs are underway already, but sometimes a player you pick off free agency can end up winning you your entire league. Here are some players to pickup for the playoffs.


Jack McBain

Jack McBain has been stellar for the Arizona Coyotes in the last few weeks of the season and is a player who fills out all the categories in fantasy. McBain has 3 goals, 4 assists, 12 SOG, 54 FW, 32 hits, 8 blocks and a +5 rating in the last two weeks, but is somehow only owned in 5% of leagues. If you add McBain, you will be adding an all-category beast who just might win you the championship.


Jesperi Kotkaniemi

Jesperi Kotkaniemi started off the year with the Carolina Hurricanes not so great, but he has really come into the zone,, down the stretch of the season. Kotkaniemi has 3 goals, 6 assists, 4 PPP, 12 SOG, 37 FW, 11 hits in the last two weeks of the season, playing on the second line of Carolina. Without Andrei Svechnikov, Kotkaniemi will be relied upon more to play a bigger role on the team and could be a player who wins a league because of his position flexibility.


Tyler Boyd

Tyler Boyd has quietly been very solid for the Arizona Coyotes; he has 5 goals, 3 assists, 3 PPP, 11 SOG, 44 FW, and 2 GWG in the last two weeks. He is currently only owned in 2% in fantasy leagues and is eligible to play both Center and RW, which makes him extremely valuable in leagues with FW. Boyd is a player who could potentially help you win a league.


Joel Edmundson

Joel Edmundson is the perfect pickup for your team if you need to fill out your garbage categories, but he has quietly been quite productive offensively as well lately. In the last two weeks, Edmundson has 1 goal, 4 assists, 10 SOG, 22 hits, 16 blocks and a +7, but is only owned in 1% of leagues right now. If you need to boost your garbage categories, you should should pick up Edmunson for the playoffs.


Damon Severson

Damon Severson has quietly been very productive with the New Jersey Devils in the stretch run of the season, having put up 2 goals, 5 assists, and 2 PPPs in the last two weeks of the season. Severson hasn't had as much ice time as in prior years because of the depth on the Right side of the Defense for the Devils, but he is still on track for 30-35 points as a third-pair defenseman with PP time. He is currently ranked 88th overall and is owned in 21% of leagues; could be a player who ends up being a league winner if picked up.

Joonas Korpisalo

Due to the fact that Joonas Korpisalo played the majority of the season on a horrible Columbus team,  Korpisalo wasn't very valuable in many leagues, but after a trade to the LA Kings, he has split starts with Phoenix Copley and has been great since coming to LA. Korpisalo has a 5-1 record with a 2.28 GAA, .921 SV%, and 186 SVs in the last month of the season. Korpisalo is owned in 44% of Fantasy leagues, if he is still available in your league, don't hesitate to pick him up, he could just win you the league.

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...
