Fantasy waiver wire: week 9; replacing Islanders’ Lee; Jets’ futures appeal

Pete and Rob are joined by “Waiver Wire” James Harding to discuss the best fantasy pickups and replacement options for injured Islanders left wing Anders Lee. The guys debate whether to add Jordan Eberle, Kieffer Bellows or Oliver Wahlstrom from New York or take it outside and consider players like Paul Stastny of the Jets, Kevin Labanc of the Sharks and others. The guys discuss San Jose’s improved play with Erik Karlsson back on track and since the injury returns of Timo Meier and Tomas Hertl and how it impacts Devan Dubnyk’s rest-of season fantasy stock and also react to Harding’s sledgehammer pick that Winnipeg will come out of the North Division in the Stanley Cup Playoffs this year. Other players discussed in this episode include Jake Oettinger (plus whether to add him and drop struggling Carter Hart), Sammy Blais, Jack Eichel, Robin Lehner, Alexander Radulov, Roope Hintz and a debate of Stastny vs. Pierre-Luc Dubois for the second half.
