McMichael arrived in the NHL with a lot of hype, but with just 15 points so far, he hasn’t enjoyed the kind of rookie season some anticipated. But there was a reason he was taken 25th overall in 2019, so be patient. Don’t forget that last season McMichael managed over 0.8 points per game in the AHL as a rookie; there’s plenty of upside here.

Before a quiet game on Friday, Hayes had scored at least 13 points in three straight games, has really been sinking more buckets the last couple of months, and has gotten a bit more of a chance to start this season — especially lately. But even when he hasn’t played a ton of minutes, he’s been capable of producing (like on Friday, when he flirted with a double-double despite playing just 17 minutes), so give him a look in both redraft and DFS formats.

Dadanov remains in a slump, production wise, but makes for a nice sleeper pick given his talent and the opportunity he’s been given. Don’t forget that this is a dude that had three straight seasons of at least 25 goals with the Panthers.

Hernandez has been cleared after missing four games in Covid protocol, and while his PT had been inconsistent, he’d been putting up some solid scoring and rebounding numbers before his absence.

With this in mind, we draw your attention to Lambert, a Finnish prospect who’s expected to be one of the top picks in this year’s NHL Draft. He’s off to a slow start with his new team, and while some believe he’s no longer a lock for the top five, it would be a shock if he’s not a top 10 pick. Lambert’s skill and speed will make him a real offensive force in time.

Taken ninth overall last year out of Baylor, Mitchell has been inconsistent and has really struggled from the line this month, but his future looks bright — especially given rumours that Fox could be traded.
The Wire Troll: Killian Hayes Helping in Assists Read Post »
Well, he’s getting it done on Broadway now, firing home his first two goals of the season on Wednesday before adding a helper on Friday to prove he can offer more than veteran toughness to the Rangers’ fourth line. Reaves is seeing his most ice time since 2018-19, and while no one will confuse him as a major offensive threat, his enforcer-like presence and periodic goals make him a useful asset in deep formats.
