“Boldy is the kind of participant that I like to have on my workforce. Boldy’s extraordinarily protected throughout the board with loads of upside.” And that’s me quoting me from my preseason rankings copying what Gray does! Nothing like a profession excessive in objectives for Boldy earlier than the Olympic break. Boldy was excellent on Wednesday, scoring a hat trick within the first interval towards the Predators, later including an help within the victory. Whereas the photographs are barely down, Boldy remains to be over three per recreation, and already has 32+30 in 54 video games. That’s a borderline prime 10 ahead. I had Boldy in my prime 25 total going into the season, barely forward of his ADP. Granted, when it’s this early in drafts, barely forward put him on a bunch of my groups. He ought to solely proceed to get higher going ahead and has the prospect to be attain superstardom through the Olympics. Let’s check out what else occurred during the last two nights:
Wednesday’s Video games:
Jet Greaves – 21 save shutout within the 4-0 win over Chicago. Greaves has the second finest save share during the last two seasons behind Vasilevskiy and Hellebuyck. I used to be extraordinarily excessive on Greaves and it’s paying dividends. There’s an excellent probability he delivers on my daring prediction of being a #1 fantasy goalie this 12 months.
Charlie Coyle – Two assists with a shot. I’d say Coyle is an elite streamer whereas he’s on hearth, however now there’s no video games for 3 weeks. We’ll see the place he picks up afterwards, however the change to Bowness is doing him wonders.
Samuel Montembeault – 36 saves on 37 photographs within the 5-1 win over the Jets. Montembeault has been atrocious recently, with Montreal turning to Dobes for many video games. I wouldn’t be holding him in 12’ers or shallower.
Brendan Gallagher– Aim and two assists with two PIM, as did Josh Anderson. These guys had their time of being priceless fantasy belongings, however that point has handed.
Noah Dobson – Two assists with a shot. Dobson actually can’t do a lot better than he’s with out Hutson getting injured.
Mikey Eyssimont – Two objectives on 4 photographs and two PIM. I all the time was a fan of Eyssimont as a fourth liner, however that doesn’t actually matter for fantasy.
Hampus Lindholm – Two assists with two photographs. Lindholm is near the perimeter. I not often stream defensemen, so he’s extra of a filler in case you have accidents in your blue line.
Anton Lundell – Aim and two assists with 4 photographs. Firmly on the perimeter.
Matthew Tkachuk – Aim and an help with 4 photographs. Enterprise as ordinary for Tkachuk since his return.
Uvis Balinskis – Aim and an help with two photographs. So long as Balinskis has PP1, there’s some worth, however principally for deeper leagues.
Quinn Hughes – Two assists with a shot and two PIM. All of your assists are belong to Hughes!
Steven Stamkos – Aim and two assists with six photographs and two PIM. The highest guys for Nashville crushed, as Ryan O’Reilly dished three assists, Roman Josi had a aim and an help with six photographs, whereas Filip Forsberg had a aim and an help with six photographs. Their studs are maintaining Nashville within the playoff race, particularly Josi. He’s on an tear of epic proportions.
Karel Vejmelka – 29 saves on 30 photographs within the 4-1 win over the Mammoth. Vejmelka leads the league in wins. Even with numbers which can be superb however nothing particular, he’s a borderline #1.
Nick Schmaltz – Aim and an help, as did Clayton Keller. Schmaltz has already tied a profession excessive in objectives and may simply set a profession excessive in factors. Straightforward maintain in every single place.
Valeri Nichushkin – Three assists with two photographs. The primary line for Colorado crushed, as Artturi Lehkonen scored two objectives on 5 photographs, whereas Nathan MacKinnon dished two assists with 4 photographs. The issue for Large Val is that Necas can be again after the break and he’s been stapled to MacKinnon’s wing. Nichushkin is on the perimeter, however a lean in the direction of elite streamer.
Justin Faulk – Two assists with two photographs. On the perimeter, however a slight lean in the direction of holding Faulk.
Jordan Kyrou – Aim and an help with 4 photographs. It’s been a really irritating season for Kyrou, however he has eight factors within the final 4 video games and 13 factors in his final 10. I’ve him within the elite streamer class, however he might simply flip right into a maintain down the stretch.
Jimmy Snuggerud – Aim and an help. He’s exhibiting some actual indicators of turning the nook, with 9 factors in his final six video games. We’ll see how he’s taking care of the break.
Jamie Benn – Two objectives and an help. Benn is on hearth, however the minutes are nonetheless fairly low. He’s a stable streamer with an opportunity of upside if he does play extra.
Matt Duchene – Aim and an help with three photographs. Duchene can also be on a six recreation level streak, however the shot fee is horrendous. Stable streamer.
Miro Heiskanen – Two assists with two photographs and two PIM. I believed Harley could be their prime man for fantasy, however Miro has it locked in. Stable #2 in 12’ers.
Jason Robertson – Aim and an help with six photographs. Guerin higher hope they don’t battle to attain when it counts as a result of I’m nonetheless in disbelief he isn’t on the USA workforce.
Teddy Blueger – Two assists with two photographs. And there’s your annual Blueger replace!
Mark Stone – Two assists with two photographs. Jack Eichel had a aim and an help with 5 photographs. Simply keep wholesome!
Shane Wright – Two objectives. I’d actually wish to see what Wright might do with extra enjoying time. As is, he’s solely a backside finish to middling streamer.
Freddy Gaudreau – Two assists. No thanks.
Chandler Stephenson – Two assists. The factors are stable, however he’s solely a middling streamer. It’s insane that he performs as many minutes are he does with how badly the Kraken get caved with Stephenson on the ice.
Andrei Kuzmenko – Two objectives, each assisted by Kevin Fiala. Kuzmenko remains to be on PP1 so he has the occasional large recreation, however total, there’s not a lot right here. Backside finish streamer.
Evan Bouchard – Three assists with two photographs and two PIM. It’s a excessive bar to clear, however this has been Bouchard’s finest offensive season but. Absolute beast for fantasy.
Leon Draisaitl – Two objectives on 5 photographs. Enterprise as ordinary for Draisaitl. There’s an opportunity he units a profession excessive in assists.
Nazem Kadri – Two assists, as did MacKenzie Weegar and Zach Whitecloud. I’m anticipating Kadri to get traded, but it surely’s not 100%. The plus-minus is brutal in the meanwhile, however I’d in all probability maintain simply because the upside is there if he’s moved. He additionally has an atrocious capturing share and is due for lots of optimistic regression.
Matvei Gridin – Aim and an help with three photographs. Gridin, a former first spherical choose, was getting prime energy play time on this recreation. He was despatched again right down to the AHL after the sport, however I assume he comes again up after the break? There’s some long run upside, and we’ll must see his position after the break to see his quick time period worth. Welcome to the Razzball Database!
Thursday’s Video games
Adam Wilsby – Two assists with a shot. He’s scorching in the meanwhile, however I don’t see any worth for Wilsby.
Jakob Chychrun – Two objectives and an help with seven photographs. It’s a disgrace Washington is disappointing to date as a result of Chychrun is enjoying at an unimaginable degree. If I used to be operating Crew Canada, he’d be on their Olympic workforce.
Dylan Strome – Two assists with a shot. Strome cooled off, however he’s nonetheless a backside finish maintain.
Pierre-Luc Dubois – Aim and an help with two photographs in his return from damage. We all know the upside for PLD, however it could actually get ugly at instances as effectively. Whether or not or not you wish to spec add him is your name.
James Reimer – 15 saves on 16 photographs within the 2-1 OT win over the Flyers. No fantasy worth at this level in Reimer’s profession.
Brandon Bussi – 16 save shutout within the 2-0 win over the Rangers. Doesn’t get a lot simpler than that. Bussi has develop into the Carolina #1 and is a prime 10 fantasy goalie consequently.
Ilya Sorokin – 23 saves on 24 photographs within the 3-1 win over the Devils. Sorokin has been the very best goalie within the league this season by way of objectives saved above anticipated. Nice to see him again in prime type.
Bo Horvat – Aim and an help. Horvat has the very best shot fee of his profession, which helps him thrive. He’s a borderline prime 50 participant in the meanwhile.
Ben Kindel – Two objectives. I’ve develop into an enormous fan of Kindel this season. It’s extra for the long run, though he’s a middling streamer for now.
Avery Hayes – Two objectives on six photographs in his NHL debut. I used to be at this recreation and Hayes’ velocity did stand out. He even missed an empty netter to get a hat trick. I’m unsure he’ll even be on the roster after the break, so it’s arduous to present any reply on his worth till then. He’s not thought-about a lot of a prospect although. Welcome to the Razzball Database!
Andrei Vasilevskiy – 33 saves on 34 photographs within the 6-1 win over the Panthers. He’s simply the #1 fantasy goalie proper now and has an opportunity to get one other Vezina.
Oliver Bjorkstrand -Aim and an help with three photographs. Bjorkstrand has middling streamer worth so long as he’s on PP1.
Pontus Holmberg – Aim and an help with three photographs. Holmberg has been a part of Tampa’s elite shutdown line, however that doesn’t do us something for fantasy. I don’t even see a lot deep league worth.
Adin Hill – 32 saves on 33 photographs within the 4-1 win over the Kings. Hill has been one of many worst goalies within the league this season, though he’s solely performed in 12 video games. The upside is simple, so I’d in all probability stubbornly maintain.
Ivan Barbashev – Two assists with two PIM. So long as he’s with Eichel and Stone, Barbashev is a stable streamer.
Pavel Dorofeyev – Aim and an help with two photographs. Clearly a maintain, though it’s in the direction of the underside finish.
That’s all for now guys. With no video games over the following three weeks or so, I clearly gained’t be having day by day notes. I’m not precisely positive what I’ll be posting but, however I nonetheless plan to have two posts every week, with MarmosDad nonetheless posting on Wednesday’s. He can be breaking down the commerce deadline over the following couple weeks. As all the time, be happy to ask any questions, depart any feedback, or give any recommendations under. Thanks for studying, take care!
