Author: National Hockey League December 16, 2021 Duration: 51:11
Pete welcomes Nick Alberga of Sportsnet aboard as the new co-host of NHL Fantasy on Ice, and the guys discuss the NHL.com/Fantasy top 200 rankings and mailbag questions for the 10th week of the season. They discuss strategies for navigating the long list of players added to NHL COVID-19 protocol in recent days and the best pickups around the League, including goalie streamers like Anthony Stolarz and Charlie Lindgren, forwards Ondrej Kase, Tim Stutzle, Evan Rodrigues, Ivan Barbashev, Alex Tuch (nearing return) and more. Pete and Nick play "hold or fold" for players like Spencer Knight, Elvis Merzlikins, Tyler Seguin and Jakob Chychrun, who could be a trade candidate from the Coyotes. The guys also cover Trevor Zegras’ Calder Trophy odds, center debates like Dylan Larkin vs. Josh Norris, Anze Kopitar vs. Nicklas Backstrom, Drake Batherson’s dominance for the Senators, Kaapo Kakko’s complicated fantasy value, the defenseman depth of the Wild after Jared Spurgeon’s return, David Pastrnak's bounce-back chances and what to watch for the rest of the week.
