I’ve lengthy been a fan of Bobby McMann, however the early returns for Seattle blew my expectations out of the water. McMann scored two targets and an help with 4 pictures in his Kraken debut on Saturday towards Vancouver, and adopted it up with a aim and an help with 4 pictures towards Florida on Sunday. He performed over 18 minutes in each video games slotting proper onto the primary line and second energy play unit. With Seattle within the thick of a playoff race, I see no motive to anticipate McMann’s workload to lower. Meaning a 20-25% enhance in enjoying time in comparison with what he was getting in Toronto. Over the past three seasons, McMann is within the prime 50 within the league in even power targets per 60 minutes. On condition that, I feel he must be held in all codecs in the interim. Let’s check out what else occurred over the weekend:
Friday’s Video games:
Emil Heineman – Two targets, each assisted by Bo Horvat. It’s been an honest first seaon in New York for Heineman, who has 18 targets. Whereas he’s on the primary line with Horvat and Barzal, he’s within the middling to stable streamer vary.
Cam Fowler – Objective and an help. I anticipated significantly better from Fowler this season. On the intense facet, this recreation introduced his help streak to 6 straight video games, and with Faulk gone, there’s a little bit of hope for a turnaround. The issue is that St. Louis is incentivized to play their younger guys. I’d go away Fowler for deep leagues.
Saturday’s Video games:
Linus Ullmark – 23 save shutout within the 2-0 win over the Geese. The Sens are a defensive juggernaut, so if Ullmark can play properly, he can clearly be a #1 goalie down the stretch.
Shane Pinto – Two assists with three pictures. Middling to stable streamer.
Charlie McAvoy – Two targets on three pictures with two PIM. Superb probability for McAvoy to set a profession excessive in factors. He’s a stable #2 in 12’ers regardless of the poor shot charge.
Rasmus Sandin – Objective and an help with 4 pictures. He has some deep league worth, however not fairly sufficient for 12’ers.
Connor Hellebuyck – 28 saves on 29 pictures within the 3-1 win over the Avalanche. If in case you have any doubt about what Hellebuyck can do on a given night time, this proves he’s nearly as good as anybody. I do know this season has been tough, however you type of should hold rolling him on the market and hope for the perfect.
Mark Scheifele – Two assists with a shot and two PIM. Kyle Connor had a aim and an help. The Jets are creeping again into the playoff image and whereas it is perhaps a bit too late, it’ll be these three that sneak them in if it occurs.
Vladislav Gavrikov – Objective and two assists with six PIM. Gavrikov has greater than doubled his earlier profession excessive in targets. Something deeper than a 12’er, I’d use him.
Adam Fox – Two assists with two PIM. It’s no shock that the Rangers are enjoying respectably now that they’ve Fox and Igor again within the fold.
Sebastian Aho – Objective and an help with two pictures and two PIM. Andrei Svechnikov additionally had a aim and an help. The consistency from Aho is really exceptional. He’s been inside a 10-15 level vary for eight years operating.
Simon Holmstrom – Two targets. Holmstrom’s numbers are similar to final season. Sadly, that’s solely backside finish streamer vary.
Artemi Panarin – Objective and two assists with two pictures. Enterprise as typical for Panarin in Los Angeles. It’s secure to say that he’s what he’s it doesn’t matter what crew he’s on.
Brandt Clarke – Three assists with a shot and two PIM. Clarke has eight factors in his final seven video games. He’s significantly benefiting from Panarin’s arrival as anticipated. I will likely be all in on him subsequent season now that Hiller is gone.
Anze Kopitar – Two targets on 5 pictures. Kopitar set the franchise report for factors on this recreation, which is nice to see. I don’t wish to say he was underappreciated like folks at all times do with guys like him and Barkov, however I will likely be unhappy after Kopitar’s final recreation.
Nico Hischier – Two targets and two assists with 4 pictures. I mentioned this per week or two in the past, however I’m greater than seemingly going to disregard this season for all Devils for my 2026-27 rankings. Hischier hasn’t been horrible, however I do suppose he will get again to his typical stage.
Dougie Hamilton – Two assists with a shot and two PIM. I’m nonetheless dumbfounded that the Devils didn’t transfer him on the deadline. Hamilton has been enjoying significantly better and is a transparent maintain in every single place.
Timo Meier – Objective and an help with two pictures. The shot charge from Meier is the place it was in his Sharks days. He’s on the perimeter for now, as he’s able to an enormous heater.
Arseny Gritsyuk – Objective and an help with 5 pictures. Fairly good rookie yr all issues thought of, however Gritsyuk is a middling streamer at greatest.
Macklin Celebrini – Two targets and an help with three pictures and two PIM. 9 recreation level streak with 100 on the season proper across the nook.
Collin Graf – Objective and two assists with three pictures. Elite streamer whereas on the primary line.
John Klingberg – Two assists with a shot. He’s simply on the skin trying in on 12’ers, so use him in something deeper.
Noah Dobson – Two assists with a shot. The pictures have dropped considerably, nevertheless it’s the factors bounce again we hoped for from Dobson. Stable #3 in 12’ers.
Jet Greaves – 18 saves on 19 pictures within the 2-1 SO win over Dan Vladar (27/28) and the Flyers. The Blue Jackets have been on a tear since Bowness took over, so search for Greaves to proceed to be a stable #2.
Wyatt Johnston – Objective and an help with two pictures. Johnston goes to smash all of his earlier profession highs. Certain, the capturing share is a bit excessive, however he’s changing into a full blown famous person.
Erik Karlsson – Two assists with a shot. I used to be anticipating a drop off from Karlsson this season, however as a substitute, he’s bought a very good probability at 50+ assists. He’s an enormous a part of the Penguins defying expectations.
Anthony Mantha – Objective and an help with 5 pictures and two PIM. It’s been seven years since Mantha scored 25 targets, and his 26 assists are already a profession excessive. I used to be all in once I first began at Razzball and it’s nice to see the again points behind him. Mantha is on the perimeter together with his present workload.
Parker Wotherspoon – Two assists. Don’t even give it some thought.
Yegor Chinakhov – Two assists with three pictures. Each time that I watch Pittsburgh, Chinakhov is likely one of the greatest gamers on the ice. He’s an elite streamer on the very worst.
Dylan Guenther – Two targets on 5 pictures. Guenther has turn into probably the greatest snipers within the recreation. He’s a transparent prime 50 participant with upside if the playmaking will increase.
Adin Hill – 21 save shutout within the 4-0 win over Chicago. This says extra about Chicago than the rest proper now, however Hill goes to have each probability to show his season round down the stretch.
Pavel Dorofeyev – Two targets and an help with 5 pictures. Mitch Marner and Mark Stone every had two assists. Dorofeyev has principally doubled down on final season’s glorious aim charge whereas stumbling into just a few extra assists. He’s clearly a prime 100 participant, however projecting Dorofeyev going ahead is likely one of the most tough within the league.
Jordan Eberle – Three assists with a shot. Matty Beniers had a aim and two assists enjoying with McMann. Each are in stable streamer vary.
Brandon Montour – Two assists with two pictures. It’s been removed from Montour’s greatest season (don’t neglect he was the #1D in fantasy earlier than), however he hits each class properly sufficient that he’s an awesome match for each fantasy crew.
Sunday’s Video games:
Haydn Fleury – Objective and an help with three pictures. Fleury had zero factors in his first 24 video games. Shifting on…
Morgan Barron – Two assists. Barron has produced a bit extra this season, however he’s solely helpful within the deepest of leagues.
Tyler Toffoli – Objective and an help with two pictures. Clear as day stable streamer.
Mario Ferraro – Objective and an help with two pictures. Not so usually that Ferraro stumbles into factors. Hits and blocks streamer for deep leagues.
Shakir Mukhamadullin – Two assists with two pictures. The manufacturing isn’t there but, however I watch the Sharks fairly a bit and he’s beginning to stand out a bit extra regularly. Mukhamadullin is value monitoring.
Warren Foegele – Objective and an help with two pictures. I believe that Foegele will get nearer to his earlier totals than what he did this season. That might put him within the middling streamer vary.
Drake Batherson – Two targets on one shot. Sure, that’s right, as Ferraro put the puck into his personal web on a Batherson move, whereas his different aim was a Zub shot that hit his chest and went in. Both manner, you don’t see two targets on one shot too usually!
Leo Carlsson – Two targets and an help with 5 pictures. The highest line for Anaheim went off as Troy Terry had a aim and two assists in his return, whereas Chris Kreider had two assists with two pictures. Carlsson has taken the leap to stardom as a 21 yr previous. Terry is value holding in every single place whereas he’s at a degree per recreation, whereas Kreider is an stable streamer.
Nick Suzuki – Objective and an help with three pictures. The targets are barely down for Suzuki, however he’s bought an opportunity for 70 assists, so no person can complain.
Bo Groulx – Two targets. Groulx has three targets in 4 video games after one aim in his earlier 65 video games mixed. Nothing to see right here. Welcome to the Razzball Database!
Vladimir Tarasenko – Two targets on 4 pictures, each assisted by Mats Zuccarello and Ryan Hartman. I don’t know why it took till the third interval to place Tarasenko within the prime six contemplating they’ll use a aim scoring winger. We’ll should see if he begins there subsequent recreation, however he’ll be a stable streamer if he does.
Kaapo Kakko – Objective and two assists with 4 pictures. He’s been a priceless participant for the Kraken, however he doesn’t transfer the needle a lot for fantasy. Middling streamer.
Berkly Catton – Objective and an help with two pictures. The previous first spherical choose continues to be solely 20 years previous, so there’s lots to work with long run. Proper now, there’s no worth although. Welcome to the Razzball Database!
Jamie Oleksiak – Objective and an help. And there’s your annual Oleksiak replace!
Connor Ingram – 26 saves on 27 pictures within the 3-1 win over the Predators. We all know the dangers of an Edmonton goalie, however Ingram is clearly the #1 at this level, so if you wish to gamble, Ingram is your man.
Connor McDavid – Three assists with two pictures. His 24 minutes on this recreation feels low for what to anticipate from McDavid down the stretch. There’s little doubt that they’ll push him as a lot as doable to make the playoffs.
Three Level Problem: We’ll do Tuesday’s video games per typical. You possibly can’t choose McDavid, MacKinnon, Kucherov, Celebrini, Draisaitl, Scheifele, Necas, Pastrnak, Robertson or Kaprizov. Since I’m going to the sport, I’m going to homer it up and take Tage in Vegas.
That’s all for now guys. As at all times, be happy to ask any questions, go away any feedback, or give any ideas under. MarmosDad will likely be again on Wednesday, whereas I’ll have an up to date maintain/stream listing on Friday. Thanks for studying, take care!
