The Wire Troll: Young ‘Canes Rising Edition

/ Dakota Case, Hockey, The Wire Troll

Rask is a rookie, and he’s young, but his two goals, four points, plus-3 rating, two penalty minutes, two power play points, 15 shots on goal and 23 face-offs won made him last week’s 11th best Fantasy player. If you do decide to pick him up, don’t expect numbers like this every week, but it’s an encouraging effort by a talented player within a struggling organization. Keep your eye on Rask, but we don’t suggest you pick him up quite yet.

The Wire Troll: James Reimer Poised to Steal Starts

Fantasy GMs would be smart to jump on this guy, especially in competitive leagues with lots of teams. In 11 games with the Leafs this season, Winnik has a goal, seven points, a plus-7 rating and 16 shots. He’s playing on the top line and the Leafs have started to string some wins together, so he’ll have plenty of opportunity to produce for the time being.

2014-15 RotoRob NHL Draft Kit: Top 10 Busts

Just a few days shy of his 21st birthday, the former first overall pick has already been considered a bust for a while now. After scoring 17 goals and 31 points in 48 games during the lockout shortened season, the young Russian only managed 11 goals and 24 points with a disastrous minus-33 rating in 63 games in 2013-14, even finding himself a healthy scratch on numerous occasions. Yakupov’s got the ability, but he finds himself slipping down the depth chart of an Oilers team looking to get back into the playoffs for the first time since 2006. Don’t even think about him until you get a better sample size.

Sleepers are fun because not only can they make or break your Fantasy hockey season, but you’re also bound to get some interesting reactions from other Fantasy GMs. Hopefully, because you’re reading RotoRob.com’s Fantasy content religiously — as you very well should if you aren’t already — those reactions will be of disbelief and jealously rather than guffaws and scorn. Onward.

Oh yeah, Drouin then added 13 goals, 41 points and a plus-9 rating in 16 postseason games. But, you know, no big deal. We’re not advocating you take this guy in the draft, but odds are good someone in your league will. If he’s still on the board when you make your final pick, taking him could pay off big time.

Touted as one of the best young goalies in the league, Quick proved it to the world with an incredible campaign in 2011-12. In an astounding 69 regular season games, the Milford, Connecticut native amassed 35 wins, a 1.95 goals against average, a .929 save percentage and 10 shutouts. The thing is, he wasn’t done — not by a long shot. In 20 postseason games, Quick added 16 wins, a 1.41 goals against average, a .946 save percentage and three shutouts in capturing the Stanley Cup and the Conn Smythe trophy as playoff MVP. The only man standing in the way of Quick and the Vezina was none other than Lundqvist mentioned above. Quick’s numbers have fallen off a bit the past few seasons, but he’s still a winner and was able to add another Cup to his credit. If Rask and Lundqvist are gone, we’re pretty sure you’ll be happy with Quick.
