Fantasy rankings for Week 19; analytics with Shayna Goldman

Pete and Nick are joined by Shayna Goldman of The Athletic, Sportlogiq and Sportsnet to go around the League and discuss the biggest fantasy and futures storylines with analytical insight. The crew discusses Cale Makar’s Norris Trophy stock, the Avalanche’s Stanley Cup chances, trial of Andre Burakovsky on the top line, the potential that Sam Girard could be traded before the deadline and more. They also have the impact of Josh Norris’ expected return Thursday for the Senators, Alexis Lafreniere’s top-line placement and breakout appeal for the Rangers down the stretch and why the Devils are worth tapping into for the rest of the season with elite players in Jack Hughes, Dougie Hamilton and Jesper Bratt plus potential fantasy pickups in Yegor Sharangovich, Dawson Mercer, Nico Hischier and rookie goalie Nico Daws. Other topics discussed include whether the Predators should consider trading top forward Filip Forsberg, the appeal of adding Jakob Chychrun and/or Mark Giordano in fantasy before potential trades, Igor Shesterkin’s MVP chances, signs of Elias Pettersson of the Canucks and Jordan Binnington of the Blues bouncing back, the Blue Jackets’ outside playoff chances with Elvis Merzlikins back and more.
