The Wire Troll: Minnesota’s Young Talent Ready For Prime Time

Our NHL Editor may be a big Minnesota Wild fan, but we swear this Red, White and Green heavy Wire Troll wasn’t done deliberately, so bear with us. We’ll start with a Devil of a player from New Jersey.

Michael Cammalleri, LW, New Jersey Devils (ESPN: 47.3 per cent; Yahoo: 43 per cent): One of the league’s most underrated stars, Cammalleri was the best player in Fantasy hockey last week with four goals, eight points, a plus-2 rating, two penalty minutes, three power play points (see video below for his major blast on the man advantage) and 17 shots on goal. He’s also logging big time minutes — over 22 per game last week — which means the Devils are relying on him to get the job done in the absence of offseason acquisition Taylor Hall.

Mikael Granlund, C/LW, Minnesota Wild (ESPN: 17.3 per cent; Yahoo: 14 per cent): Granlund has played the role of No. 1/2 centre for Minnesota since the departure of Matt Cullen in 2013. Granlund has had sporadic success, but the arrival of Eric Staal has allowed him, along with Charlie Coyle, to transition to the wing. Both 2010 first round picks have found big success there this season, and there’s definitely a benefit for Granlund to play alongside fellow countryman Mikko Koivu. Granlund has 11 points in his last 12 games, including an impressive five goals. He had a goal, five points, a plus-2 rating, three power play points and three shots on goal last week.

Nino Niederreiter, LW/RW, Minnesota Wild (ESPN: 16.3 per cent; Yahoo: 13 per cent): After several successful games alongside Staal and Coyle, Niederreiter has once again found himself alongside Erik Haula and Jason Pominville with the return of Zach Parise to the lineup. The Wild isn’t complaining — that was the team’s most successful line down the stretch last season. In four games last week, Niederreiter had three goals, five points, a minus-1 rating, three power play points and nine shots on goal. His seven goals on the season are one behind Coyle for the team lead, and he’s only averaging 14:27 of ice-time per game. Can you believe all it took to get Niederreiter was Cal Clutterbuck and a third round pick?

Chad Johnson, G, Calgary Flames (ESPN: 24.6 per cent; Yahoo: 40 per cent): A journeyman, Johnson seems to have finally found his place in the NHL. The Flames’ netminder led all goaltenders last week with three wins, a 1.00 goals against average, a .968 save percentage and a shutout. He has seven wins, a 1.98 goals against average and a .928 save percentage this season, meaning you should have already added him to your team.

Jonas Brodin, D, Minnesota Wild (ESPN: 6 per cent; Yahoo: 8 per cent): Not known as an offensive-minded defenseman, Brodin is on his way to a career season. Injuries to Jared SpurgeonMarco Scandella and, now, Christian Folin have only increased Minnesota’s reliance on Brodin, which means the smooth skating defender has also seen a boost in power play time. He’s made the most of it, collecting a goal, four points, three power play points, a game-winning goal, five shots on goal and four defensive points last week. He’s no Ryan Suter or Drew Doughty, but he’ll do as a roster player off the bench.

Rookie of the Week

Statistically speaking, this should probably go to Toronto’s Auston Matthews. However, we have to tip our hats to Pittsburgh Penguins rookie Jake Guentzel. A fresh faced Minnesota kid out of the University of Nebraska Omaha, it didn’t take him long to make his mark on the NHL. First game, first period, first shift, first shot, first goal… and then he added another before the period was even over! Playing alongside the likes of Phil Kessel and Evgeni Malkin, Guentzel collected three goals and four points this week, including an assist on a Kessel goal in his first game ever against his hometown Wild in a 6-2 loss in St. Paul. Guentzel had a considerable cheering section there, too, which made it all the more memorable.

Now it’s your turn. Let us know in the comments below who your favourite Fantasy hockey waiver wire pick of the week is.

The Wire Troll: Staal Lines Tearing up NHL

November 13, 2016 | by Dakota Case | Comments Comments Off on The Wire Troll: Staal Lines Tearing up NHL
The former Chicago Blackhawk seems to be doing just fine with the ‘Canes. Staal is a proven vet, and Aho has clearly brought his talent across the Atlantic with him, making it an easy transition for Teravainen. Teravainen had two goals, five points, a plus-1 rating, a power play point, a game-winning goal and 11 shots on goal in four games last week.

The Wire Troll: Rickard Rakell Making Instant Impact

November 6, 2016 | by Dakota Case | Comments Comments Off on The Wire Troll: Rickard Rakell Making Instant Impact
A restricted free agent holdout at the start of the season, Rakell has more than made up for it since his return to the ice. He had three goals, six points, a plus-1 rating, two power play points and 13 shots on goal last week.

The Wire Troll: Jason Zucker Producing For Wild

October 30, 2016 | by Dakota Case | Comments Comments Off on The Wire Troll: Jason Zucker Producing For Wild
No player has more points in the last week than Bennett. The Flames’ top pick from 2014 has three goals, six points, a plus-3 rating, eight penalty minutes, a power play point and eight shots on goal in four games. He’s only averaging 12:51 of ice-time per game, but Bennett is obviously making the most of it. Calgary is young. Calgary is talented. Calgary will eventually be perennial playoff contenders, and youngsters like Bennett are a big reason why.

The Wire Troll: Rookies Rising

October 23, 2016 | by Dakota Case | Comments Comments Off on The Wire Troll: Rookies Rising
One of a few defensemen currently scoring at above a point-per-game pace, the former Michigan Wolverine is everything Columbus hoped for when it picked him on draft day. In three games, Werenski has two goals, four points, a minus-1 rating, three power play points, 14 shots on goal and four defensive points, depending on Fantasy formats. He’s doing all this while skating an average ice-time of 22:12 per game, too. Impressive.
