Now is the time to buy on capitals goalie samsonov. He posted a .913 save percentage last year with 22 starts. Holtby s contract is up and the Capitals don’t have much cap room. Their is a very good shot at samsonov being the starter for a playoff contending caps team next year
He would most likely get 2nd power play time and centre the 2nd line. The reason this could be a good fit is because he will get tons of feployment in situations that stronger teams wouldn’t want him in as a rookie. He posted 82 points in 45 games in the OHL this year
Let’s talk about Byfield. He will most likely end up with the Kings or Senators. The better fit him would be the kings. If drafted by LA he could have immediate fantasy value not because I think he’s ready, but because after kopitar, the kings don’t have much up the middle
Let’s take a look at how Lafreniere fits in with the rangers. First year, it looks like he will slot in 3rd line left wing and 2nd powerplay. With Panarin and kreider on the left side, he will not have much of a chance on the top two lines next year unless their is an injury
Kapanen getting traded to Pittsburgh is great for his value. I see him getting 20+ goals and 50+ points if he remains healthy. This shooting percentage was down 2% last year. In Pittsburg, he slots in perfectly alongside Crosby on right wing and on the 2nd power play.
@TSN_Sports@OverDrive1050 This is very good news for Kapanen’s fantasy owners. This has 20+ goals and 50 plus points written all over it. His shooting percentage was down last year and he will be playing with a potential 100 point player. He is also looking to be getting time on the 2nd power play.
@TSN_Sports Mackinnon is proving to be one of the most vauluble players in the league this playoffs leading all players with 20 points in 11 games. The best part is his shot % is only inflated 2% from his average and he is averaging just under 5 shots a game.
