HEY, IT’S FANTASY SPORTS GIRL JORDAN WITH THE LATEST FROM THE RINK. WE’VE PAST MID-SEASON AND IT’S TIME TO START TUNING UP YOUR ROSTER FOR THE PLAYOFFS. LET’S CHECK OUT THE MOVES TO MAKE IN THIS WEEK’S GUYS I’D LIKE TO PICK UP AND GUYS I’D LIKE TO DUMP.
I KNOW JOSE THEODORE HAS A LOWER BODY INJURY, BUT I’M STILL ADDING HIM TO MY ROSTER. THE CAPS GOALIE IS DAY TO DAY, BUT THAT 2.18 GAA AND 939 SAVE PERCENTAGE OVER THE LAST SIX GAMES IS JUST TOO GOOD TO PASS UP.
JASON SPEZZA MISSED MORE THAN A MONTH WITH A BAD KNEE AND FELL OFF SOME ROSTERS AS A RESULT. HOWEVER, HE’S HEALTHY AND SIGNALLED HIS RETURN WITH A GOAL IN EACH GAME SINCE RE-TAKING THE ICE. HE’S A MUST-ADD IN ANY LEAGUE.
PHOENIX HASN'T BEEN THE HOME OF FANTASY STUDS, BUT SCOTTIE UPSHALL IS MAKING A NAME FOR HIMSELF. THE COYOTE WINGER HAS 11 GOALS SINCE DECEMBER 1ST AND 19 POINTS OVER THAT STRETCH. HE'S CLICKING WELL WITH DOAN AND LOMARDI AND IS A VERY SOLID ADDITION.
FOR THE GUYS TO DUMP, I'M STARTING WITH NICLAS BERGFORS. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT HE'S FIRED 31 SHOTS IN THE LAST 13 GAMES, THE BAD NEWS - HE HASN'T LIT THE LAMP WITH ANY OF THEM. IN FACT, BERGFORS HAS JUST ONE POINT SINCE THE CALENDAR TURNED TO 2010.
I HAVEN'T BEEN TOO THRILLED WITH STEVE REINPRECHT EITHER. I ADMIRE THAT HE’S PLAYING THROUGH AN INJURY, BUT IT ISN'T HELPING FANTASY OWNERS. WHAT MATTERS IS THE BOTTOM LINE AND THAT HASN'T INCLUDED A GOAL SINCE JANUARY 3RD.
THERE'S NO DOUBTING JAY BOUWMEESTER'S QUALITY, BUT THERE'S ALSO NO DENYING THE FACT THAT HE'S GONE 35 GAMES WITHOUT FINDING THE BACK OF THE NET. AFTER TYING HIS CAREER-HIGH OF 15 GOALS LAST SEASON, HE'S ON PACE FOR JUST THREE THIS YEAR. I'M NOT SUGGESTING YOU DUMP HIM, BUT IF YOU CAN MAKE A DEAL, DO IT.
THAT’S ALL I’VE GOT FOR NOW, BUT REMEMBER TO CHECK OUT MORE VIDEOS AT FANTASYSPORTSGIRL.COM.
