As we push closer and closer to NHL and fantasy hockey playoff season there are a bunch of different angles that you need to be considering to try and take your team over the top best players on the worst teams is one of them I’ll take

Content on the way to make sure that your fantasy teams are in tiptop shape today’s episode hope you can see it there on the screen if you’re not over on YouTube head over and smash that subscribe button we’re talking about Carter Hart a little bit today this is

Actually a player that has been very near and dear to my own heart for a number of years and for a number of reasons I want to break down what’s going on with this goenda indefinite leave of absence from the Philadelphia Flyers it has to be spoken about injury updates around the

League Aiden Hill Jeff Skinner Patty Kane I got a little bit of news for all of y’all I’ll kick off the show that way very quickly and an angle that I want to talk about how about the best of the worst sneaky good fantasy pieces one

From each of the worst teams in the NHL I have one of the players that these are the kinds of guys right now that other GMS might Overlook that you can augment your roster and really be the difference Chicago Blackhawks San Jose Sharks Ottawa Senators Columbus Blue Jackets

Those are the four worst teams in the NHL and it’s been hard to find Fant value on any of them but I’ll do that for y’all Wednesday’s bets let me go to it very quickly with this injury Roundup again thank you for joining us my friends Steele should be back tomorrow

My man’s dealing with a rugged sickness he’ll be back though better than ever Aiden Hill he has been one of those goenda how he has been this good over the last let’s say year and a half Arizona Coyotes he’s played for the San Jose Sharp he comes into the postseason last year

For the Vegas golden knights and runs off an 11 and4 record 2.17 goals against and a 930 save percentage to go to the Stanley Cup and win it then he comes into this season if you weren’t buying into it 102 and two two shutouts 1.93 goals against and a 933 save percentage

This is a goal tender that I drafted I was buying in that was all I needed to see along with how good the Vegas golden knights were we know they started hot we know they have struggled their head coach called them out the other night saying they’re playing beer league

Hockey this is a situation that now not only does this team need to respond I know they’ve been banged up Jack eel is out as well and some other pieces Aiden Hill coming back is going to be a big piece of news not only for Fantasy heads

Out there who probably just like me stashed him on the IR that’s a good idea on a good team or if you haven’t and you dropped him and maybe you’re looking into ad a goalie go out there and take a look to make sure Aiden Hill is there I

Don’t know what his percentages are right now run it back make sure you’re taking a look into this situation that was number one Aiden Hill back for the Vegas golden knights Patty Kane this is another intriguing situation we know the injury he’s dealing with is actually not related to his hip resurfacing injury

That he dealt with in the off season this is a situation though after you hear the quote and then I’ll bring it up from Derek Lon right here quote he’ll probably get on the ice sometime this week I’m hoping to have him before the break if not comfortable we’ll have him

After the break end quote he says he’ll be on the ice sometime this week given that entire quote given his age and importance to this club especially since coming back in putting up 16.7 goals nine assists in 19 games they will not be rushing this man back in any aspect

To me hearing that quote prepare yourself if you’re a Patrick Kane GM that he will miss the next three or four games they’ll take that time over the All-Star break that just makes too much sense that’s not even me reading too much into that quote read into it as you

Will it makes sense they’ll probably take their time and give Patty Kane that little bit of extra rest over the All-Star break so tap into that lastly the last one I wanted to bring up Jeff Skinner coming back for the Buffalo Sabers he was at practice full practice participant looking like you should

Either be back against the Ducks while I’m recording this late Tuesday night or he’ll be back against the I think they’re playing Thursday night anyway Jeff Skinner missed the last five or six games is he going to be the Savior that brings this Buffalo Sabers team from a

Bad start into the postseason no their slim postseason chances are going to have to rely on the whole team being better back to front but he’s gonna slot back into a line with Alex tuck and Tage Thompson this is where we have to pay attention because he leads the team in

Goals with 15 he can be a very very streaky goal scorer he’s also going to play on the top power play unit you have to pay attention to these situations Jeff Skinner’s ownership I know is high it’s in the 80s it’s in the high 70s on

All platforms but if he is out there or if he’s on your IR and you haven’t been paying attention make sure you’re utilizing Jeff Skinner in a very very big way I think given his streakiness we’re either going to see him go ice cold or go red hot I know

That’s not exactly a bold take but let’s just see what happens with Jeff Skinner I got my eyes peeled these are three situations Skinner Hill Kane that a lot of GMS out there are looking at that’s why I had to bring it up quickly Carter Hart maybe the most important takeaway

Here we know goenda number one and Carter Hart is a number one goenda leave indefinite leave of absence for personal reasons from the Philadelphia Flyers 129 and three this season 9068 percentage and a 280 goals against like I mentioned this is a player that I invested in my league in

My keeper Dynasty League we have free agent auction dollars 100 of them for the entire season you can trade them as well few seasons ago when it looked like Carter Hart was going to get that final look moving up from the Everett silver tips in the WHL to take the Reigns in

Philly I tra I forget who I traded but I went for a whole bunch of free agent bucks and I spent like 80 on Carter Hart because number one goenda wire very often he has performed pered very well considering his setup in Philly and I just wanted to REM off this

Stat he was obviously a second round draft pick hars 96 wins since entering the league in the 201819 season are 18th among NHL goenda jump off the page but let’s remember how bad this Philadelphia Club has been and Philadelphia is where goalies usually go to have their careers

Expire goalie graveyard shout out to Carter Hart hope he’s doing okay but enter the young swed 6 foot three 24y Old Samuel ersen who is 126 and three this year with three shutouts 2.36 goals against and a 909 save percentage another player that I think I’m lucky to have added off the waiver

Wire now a bunch of weeks ago as a little Insurance he’s getting the run out even if it’s only a week or two you need a little goalie love he’s going to be a number one goenda Flyers have obviously been in flux but they’re more than quality enough for me to

Immediately tell whoever is listening to this episode in need of a goalie Samuel ersen is your target go out there and add him good numbers Philly is a pretty good improved team yeah they’re going to still have their issues but this is another situation had to bring up hope

Carter Hart all Kudos do hope he’s doing well Samuel Ur take a look let’s take a look at the rest of today’s episode because you know I’m bringing that heat best of the worst fantasy players on pieces fantasy pieces on the worst NHL teams I got one from each of the bottom

Indeed much love to everyone tuning in for the Wednesday episode of the locked on fantasy hockey podcast as mentioned you know you got to be holding us down Monday through Friday we do our best we weren’t here Tuesday sometimes life gets in the way my friends but I hope that

Some of this fantasy advice for real is bringing value to your fantasy club every single day and I think the angle that I’m going to talk about next best of the worst sneaky good fantasy pieces on the worst clubs in the NHL you’ve heard it from steel and I a lot but if

You actually employ the strategy of of course it’s going to take a little bit more digging looking at these teams especially honestly Ottawa Senators Columbus Blue Jackets okay they’re bad and they’re all pretty close in points but for some reason I’m just looking at the Chicago Blackhawks and San Jose

Sharks squads and their roster man that is rough to actually dig in and find some value but I hope that’s exactly what I’ve done and let me start with I think the hardest situation to find it the Chicago Blackhawks Peter morazzi I have to show a little bit of

Love to and I know this might be a stretch but remember the angle I’m taking here Peter morazzi all of these players are the perfect kind of situational week to week ads that you have to keep on your radar even if you do this after I REM off these four write

These four players down because over the next couple of weeks I guarantee you with the right schedule and I’ll talk a little bit about that with a San Jose Shark player in a sec these will be the kinds of pieces that if you’re able to augment your roster with the holes that

You need to fill with them you will be at the top of the table if you’re close right now Peter moric over the last five games 935 save percentage that’s all you really need to hear because that’s where the value is two three and this is a

Gender getting it done behind a ragtag blue line and a forward group that resembles a bad AHL Squad so just remember that and I’ll bring up Peter mazic in a second just a little bit more he is actually going to probably be resigned by the Chicago Blackhawks so if

You’re not buying into me they’re willing to give Peter morazzi a shot to at least hold it down 45% on fan tracks 31 on Yahoo 10% on ESPN Peter morazzi these again guys back end options but best of the worst sneaky good fantasy pieces on the worst NHL clubs Peter

Razic for me deserves a little bit of love how bad the Chicago Blackhawks have been little sip here thank you very much this is especially where I miss steal because I’m rambling and rambling but let me try and keep it tight the San Jose Sharks oh my goodness historically bad this is

Again when you look at this team play I Almost do and I never actually feel bad for professional franchises and they’re only two points back of the Blackhawks but this San Jose Sharks Club man they are straight up and down doodo however there has been one player that stood out

For me and that’s a guy on Pace for over 25 goals in Fabian zerland Fabian zerland right now on this squad has 14 gos 21 penalty minutes he’s blocking shots time on ice is up 49 hits 4 two block shots he’s doing a little bit of everything and again I’m looking at the

Schedule a little bit and I looked at the San Jose Sharks over the next like six or seven games or so they play the Ducks Flames Blue Jackets Sabers and others so right now especially Fabian zerland is a player that I think you can find a lot of value and that’s the main

Takeaway with all of these take a shot you have a hole to fill why not get a little nitty-gritty of course if there’s better options out there Hammer them I’m trying to lay you down a little security blanket because this is the time of the fantasy season you can’t afford to be

Perhaps forgetting to fill the lineup hole I’ve done it perhaps putting a player in over another guy who is injured or not playing don’t do it and these kinds of pieces you know he’s owned at 6% on Yahoo Less on ESPN 20 on fan tracks they’re going to be out there

As emergency Fillin situations and perfect to do just that shout out to marzik shout out to Fabian zetland nasty little shot on zetland obviously only on Pace for 37 points doesn’t exactly jump off the page but it’s the goals that count for this kid and I think he’s

Going to continue to do just that two more players very quickly I got bets you know what I’ll go one more player I’ll go one more after the break Ridley Greg Ottawa Senators 38% on fan trcks but less than 4% on ESPN and Yahoo to me he

Has been one of their most consistent players solid all season long and Ridley Greg is a bit of a banger League Beauty again 17 points in 32 games is not going to jump off the page but in keeper Dynasty leagues especially you know I’m getting that in he is very relevant 51

Hits 15 block shots 31 penalty minutes six goals 11 assists in only 14 minutes of ice time per night imagine what he gets if some of these rumors around the Ottawa Senators by the way kubalik on the Move perhaps tereno on the move maybe Ridley Greg you know I don’t know

I can just see his numbers going up I understand he’s a centerman and Shane Pinto is back which is another sneaky good player on a bad team he goes hand inand with Ridley Greg got to give a little shout out too Ridley Greg good Left Bridge boy only 21 years old as

Well and you know I don’t know if you’ve had a look at his percentages 38 on ESP on fan TRS like I said and out there on both ESPN and Yahoo so consider both pinto and Ridley Greg as some options to fill in your Center slot over the next

Couple of weeks even though those Ottawa Senators have been a complete mess on and off the ice but we don’t need to talk about that we’re keeping things positive going to talk about one more player on the Columbus Blue Jackets right around the break and of course my

Big time bets for Wednesday night hoping to keep a little bit of a Money Train rolling on what has been a tough couple of weeks for your boy thank you for holding us down for this Wednesday episode today is sponsored by sleeper make sure you’re checking out

Knowledge to your squads helping them stay in tiptop shape as we push towards this postseason last player Kel marchenko come on now we know he see some Growing Pains 50 2% on fan tracks 10% on Yahoo and 60 on ESPN when I look at the numbers I look at how bad this

Team is this kid is going to pop off 21 goals last year in 59 games only 14 so far only in 43 I think he is going to be one of those goal scorers in this league with Flare with special talent and the Columbus Blue Jackets aren’t going to be

As bad as we think for very long there is a lot of of good young offensive pieces say what you will about the backend which is clearly much more of a mess I think this Columbus Blue Jackets team holds some sneaky good value down the stretch and this is exactly why I’m

Bringing up a player in marchenko that I have before right now he’s shooting the puck 109 shots on goal this year 14 goals I think this is even he’s just scratching the surface of what he can do and given that the mix of young Russians are there to make these guys comfortable

I know that’s a bit of a intangible that’s hard to put your finger on this is one of those reasons that I’m trying to read into it and I dig into the numbers a little bit more let this ice time creep up last year 16 minutes in

Ice time this year about the same given how bad this Columbus Blue Jackets team has been they’ve been banged up as well Boon Jenner back let’s see what a little bit of Veteran presence up in that top six can do just having your captain back

On the ice again little bit of one of those angles that maybe not a lot of a people are considering but given that we’ve seen marenko be this good on how bad Columbus has been I need to keep my eyes peeled on him and I’ll leave it at

This he is my favorite and most intriguing young Talent on this team shout out to our boy Troy big Columbus Blue Jackets fan tap me in on what you’re thinking on this one let me wrap this up quick my friend same game parlay I mentioned that this been a bit of a

Tough stretch ever tonight’s board is also stre a bit of a tough one so when I dig into this Chicago Blackhawks team into Seattle you’re going to go flip the odds you’re going to throw it at me right now are going to be dooo they

Might be but that’s why I’m going to put it together in a same game parlay Seattle on the money line right now what I’m looking at is about minus 240 which makes sense so there’s zero value there but when you look at their last game against Chicago seven 111 back in

December Chicago is rag tag right now three and 10 in their last 13 two and five in their last seven against Seattle so I’m liking Seattle on the money line for sure number two this is where we’re going to get our value Jared mccan in his last five games has four goals and

Three assists starting to cook in his 16 regular season games against the Chicago Blackhawks 10 goals five assists almost a point per game player so hit me with Jared mccan anytime goal and we’re going to Parlay that all together with the under in this one six of the last six

Games for Chicago on the road have gone under the number Seattle Joey dord playing good hockey five of their last five home games under the number keeping that breakdown super short and tight for y’all same game parlays these days if your bets are being dialed back just

Like me perfect way to make make a little bit of money shout out to FanDuel that’s where you should be making these same game parlays let me recap it for you real quick Seattle money line at home against the Chicago Blackhawks that one makes a ton of sense obviously let’s

Go Jared mccan to keep it rolling anytime goal under six and a half that number might be up a little bit so check it out I’m going to hold it down at six and a half if you have to tease it for a lesser odd let’s just do it and get a

Win people it’s been a struggle so that’s the final one under six and a half between the Blackhawks and the Kraken much love for holding us down every single Monday through Friday on the locked on fantasy hockey podcast make sure you’re checking out the 247 streaming service that lock on has

Running all the days of the week 247 just like I said shout out to Steel who will be back for tomorrow’s episode thank you for joining us we’ll see you tomorrow

  1. Thank you for the CBJ love! The Kent Johnson, Voronkov & Marchenko line was stunning last night vs the oilers! KJ is the playmaker, Voronkov is the grinder & Marchenko is the sniper that line has perfect balance they all compliment each other. Those 3 players will get a big contract extension this offseason I want CBJ to build around them. Keep up the great work!

  2. Here's a little support for you Big Flip. the San Jose Sharks beat the Kings the other night in a shootout and it was Zetterlund with the winning goal. Then last night the San Jose Sharks beat the Rags as well. Also, great column the other day on Dobber hockey. Keep up the good work.
