Fantasy waiver wire: week 1 pickups; Couturier injury impact; best bets

NHL Fantasy on Ice

Pete, Rob and guest “waiver wire” James Harding discuss the best fantasy pickups around the League. They open with the implications of J.T. Miller rejoining the Vancouver Canucks from the COVID-19 protocol, the impact of Sean Couturier’s injury on the Philadelphia Flyers lineup and some big storylines from the Florida Panthers’ season opener on Sunday. The guys discuss players like Oskar Lindblom, Morgan Frost, Devon Toews, Patric Hornqvist, Ilya Sorokin, Cam Talbot, Jakob Chychrun, Yegor Sharangovich and give their best bets and DFS targets for Monday’s slate. James also explains his bold take that the Toronto Maple Leafs will miss the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2021.
