The other two waiver-wire pickups were simply about stacking players for the Nashville-San Jose matchup.

Pacioretty might play less than half the season, but I think I'll be able to hang onto him for that long since this league is fairly generous with IR slots (3 IR and 2 IR+ slots – ask your commissioner about IR+ slots if you don't have them). I discovered that Max Pacioretty had not been drafted, so I decided to use my waiver-wire priority to add him (I rarely use waiver priority in-season). Because I drafted Charlie McAvoy, I was able to move him to IR right away. That’ll be the extent of my baseball talk for today.įollowing up on the team I wrote about yesterday, I've made a few waiver-wire pickups since the team was drafted. Sportsnet didn't pick up these games because a certain baseball team that coughed up a huge lead on Saturday was taking up space on many of their channels. I didn't watch either game, so I'm relying exclusively on boxscore information. That's more than Dante Fabbro, a potential deep sleeper who hasn't seen the ice at all during a power play. Conversely, Mattias Ekholm has seen virtually no power-play time over these two games (2 seconds, to be exact). He is definitely worth a flier in bangers leagues (223 HITS last season), as he is rostered in only 24% of leagues on Fantrax and 10% in Yahoo.ĭuring the two games, Alexandre Carrier has seen his power-play icetime percentage creep up from under 20% to over 40% on the Preds' second unit. He seems like a good option for the Sharks in front of the net because of his physical ability. Kunin also saw some first-unit power-play time during the first game. Kunin has also been playing on the first line with Tomas Hertl and Timo Meier, taking the spot that the injured Alexander Barabanov had for some of last season. He's already 23 or only 23, depending on whether you think the glass is half empty or half full.Įx-Predator Luke Kunin also recorded points in back-to-back games, including a power-play goal on Saturday.

You could call him a post-hype sleeper as well, given the time it seems we've been waiting on him. Niederreiter might be that guy that gets added to a lot of teams as a result of this early-season success, but keep in mind that his 120+ goal pace is very much unsustainable.Įeli Tolvanen, featured in this week's Journey as a potential deep sleeper, recorded points in back-to-back games. That shouldn't take anything away from Niederreiter, who so far appears to be clicking with his new team. I "nearly" added Niederreiter in one league, opting instead for Philip Tomasino, who for some reason was a healthy scratch for both games. In his first two games as a Predator, Niederreiter has been playing on Ryan Johansen's wing, so there already appears to be a good match. Your way-too-early goal scoring leader is Nino Niederreiter, who scored three goals over the two games. Both teams will fly back to North America, where they will resume their seasons later next week while readjusting to the time change. The Nashville Predators have taken both games from the San Jose Sharks in Prague, winning Saturday's game by a score of 3-2.
