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 because he would get to play with better players.

Nico Hiscier

Nico Hischier has been on fire since coming back from inury, putting up 3 goals, 5 assists, 2 PPP, 15 SOG, 81 FW and a +6 rating in the last 2 weeks. Hischier is playing like everyone thought he would at the beginning of the season and is dominating play at both ends of the ice. Wise fantasy managers should try to get Hischier because some owners may be eager to trade him while his value is high.

Connor Bedard

Connor Bedard has been playing better the past two weeks of the season, putting up 1 goal, 5 assists, 3 PPP and 27 SOG, which is solid for a rookie. You can forget about trying to trade for Bedard in a keeper or dynasty league because Bedard will be one of the top players in 2 to 3 years. However, if you are in a standard, year-to-year league, I think you can attempt to acquire him, in the hopes he has a crazy second half.

Matt Boldy

After a slow start to the season, Matt Boldy has been on a bit of a tear lately, putting up 6 goals, 2 assists, 3 PPP, 24 SOG, and 2 GWG in the last two weeks of the season. Matt Boldy is back to playing like his true self, so owners might be reluctant to trade him but you can always try to trade for him because his overall stats on the season aren't very good. Try to get Matt Boldy while you still can.

Brayden Schenn

Brayden Schenn is playing much better recently than he was at the beginning of the season but even when he isn't scoring Brayden Schenn is a valuable player to own in Fantasy. Schenn is not only a player who will get 20 goals and 50 points, but he also will win a good number of Faceoffs and he isn't afraid to throw his weight around. For this reason, Schenn is one of the best players to have in CAT league, and you should try to trade players like that.

Anders Lee

After a slow start to the season, Anders Lee has been on a heater lately, putting up 3 goals, 2 assists, 1 PPP, and 18 SOG in the last two weeks of the season, after putting up 4 Goals, 1 Assists before this recent stretch. Anders Lee is a perennial 20-goal scorer, so there should be no doubt about his ability to score goals, even if he doesn't get as many assists, he will still be able to score goals. Lee is a player you want to have in the second half of the season, try to trade for him, while his value is low.

Andrei Svechnikov

Andrei Svechnikov has had a bad start to the season, mostly due to the fact he started the year on IR and never really got into a grove and looks to be going back on the shelf now. Svechnikov only has 1 goal, 10 assists, 4 PPP, and 41 SOG this season, so his trade value has never been lower, which is why managers really should look to acquire him now. When healthy Svechnikov is a lethal game-changer, who is a perennial 20-30 goal scorer, who also doesn't shy away from physical play.

Martin Necas

Another Carolina Hurricane who has struggled early this season is Martin Necas, who has 7 goals, 12 assists, 4 PPP, 64 SOG, and 2 GWGs, but he is a whopping -10. Necas's struggles this season are tied to the absence of Andrei Svechnikov, so it makes sense that both these players are on this players-to-trade-for list. Necas is a player you will want in the second half, so trade for him while you can.

Drake Batherson

Out of all the players on this list, Drake Batherson is one of the few who are actually playing well this season; Batherson has 8 goals, 11 assists, 6 PPP, 54 SOG, along with 26 Hits. The reason is that Batherson is always a dependable point scorer, but he is always underrated in fantasy because he isn't putting up eye-popping numbers. He may not have the reputation of a point-scoring machine, but he can get crazy hot at times, and you want to have good secondary scoring.

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
