Artturi Lehkonen has so much more fantasy value playing alongside Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Cale Makar and Gabriel Landeskog (when he’s back to full health) than he ever did in Montreal.Īnd knowing who plays on which unit is only half the battle. Brent Burns’ value skyrockets this season as he gets away from split duties with Erik Karlsson and onto the Hurricanes roster, where his minutes are bound to go up. So, yes, fantasy GMs obviously need to know who gets power-play time. It pays to know how players get their points. Thus a player like Victor Hedman, who scored 38 power-play points on his way to 85 points overall, was worth more in most points-based leagues than Kevin Fiala, who also scored 85 points but only got 17 with the man advantage. Power-play points get their own category - or extra points value - in so many leagues that they are essentially counted twice. There is also the matter of how most fantasy leagues are structured. Tyson Barrie in Edmonton is the most obvious example, but Noah Dobson, Moritz Seider and Charlie McAvoy all scored at least 50 points by virtue of taking over the top unit in 2021-22. There’s a massive scoring spike available to players merely by getting onto a top unit. For defensemen, it’s where most of the damage gets done.
