Matt Boldy has made an instant impact for the Minnesota Wild.

The Wire Troll: Matt Boldy Emerges in Minny

On the off chance that you find yourself buried in your dynasty league standings this season, it may be time to look towards 2022-23. 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.

Bobby Brownlie never lived up to his potential for the Chicago Cubs.

2002 MLB Draft Recap: Part V

Brownlie was originally drafted as a high schooler in 1999 by Colorado in the 26th round (790th overall), but opted to attend Rutgers University. It was a move that paid off handsomely as he parlayed a strong college career (he stills holds the school record of career strikeouts with 235) into a first round selection by the Cubs and a $2.5 million signing bonus. Brownlie’s pro career started well as he made it Double-A and was a Southern League All-Star in just his second season. Unfortunately, he never recovered his velocity after a shoulder woe in 2003 (after originally dealing with shoulder soreness as a junior in college), and after four progressively worse seasons in the Cubs organization, he was released the near end of Spring Training in 2007.

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.

The Wire Troll: De’Andre Hunter Back in Action

Allen got the flu last month and really struggled with his shot when he returned… then, he got COVID and missed more time. Upon his return on Thursday, he shook off his shooting woes to can 6-of-10 from the field and 3-of-7 from downtown for 15 points with five boards, two steals and a block. Allen has shot better this month, and has been hoisting way more long bombs this season.
