The Slapshot – March 21st

Florida Panthers

Sam Bennett, Carter Verhaeghe, Matthew Tkachuk

Anaheim Ducks

Trevor Zegras, Ryan Strome, Brock McGinn

Gimme the Ducks against the dead Flames who are playing lots of overs every time I think they’re about to go under.  Nice value spot to use as a core.

Vegas Golden Knights

Jack Eichel, Jonathan Marchessault, Alex Pietrangelo

Vegas has won 5 of their last 6 outside of one wild 7-2 loss to Calgary.  I like this team to get hot going into the playoffs and make a deep Cup run, and they have been my cup pick for a few months now anyways.

Washington Capitals

Dylan Strome, Alex Ovechkin, Tom Wilson

 

CENTERS

  1. Patrice Bergeron … Top overall pick tonight?  Yep, Bergeron has too much value at just $6,400 being on home ice where Boston is solid and he has 19+ FPPG in the last 3 versus Ottawa.
  2. Sam Bennett
  3. Jack Eichel
  4. Sebastian Aho
  5. Thomas Novak
  6. Pierre-Luc Dubois

 

WINGS

  1. Nikita Kucherov … Tampa is going to be an interesting team for me down the stretch, I thought they were dead but it wouldn’t shock me if they made a late surge and won in the first round.  A key contribut for that to happen is Kuch who has an ideal matchup vs the Canadiens who are 28th in GA to RW over the last month and near the bottom for the full season.
  2. Alex Ovechkin
  3. Jonathan Marchessault / Reilly Smith
  4. Matt Duchene
  5. Tyler Toffoli
  6. Carter Verhaeghe

 

DEFENSE

  1. Alex Pietrangelo
  2. Hampus Lindholm
  3. Victor Hedman
  4. Gustav Forsling
  5. Miro Heiskanen
  6. Justin Faulk

 

VALUE PUNTS

  1. Jack Bauer, aka Keifer Sherwood
  2. John Marino – Defense
  3. Marcus Johansson
  4. Eeli Tolvanen
