MVP/CPT

Evgeny Dadonov, F OTT

I am a firm believer that, you need to get your upside in at the MVP/CPT spot, and Dadonov is that. He provides top power-play exposure and sees 16-18 minutes per night. The Canucks give up lots of shots, and goals right now, Dadonov could really pay off.

Jake Virtanen , F VAN

Pettersson won't stay cold forever, so getting some cheap exposure to him, on a night where there should be plenty of goals could really pay off for you. He is also cheap enough that you won't have any issues getting some higher-floor players into your lineup either.

Tanner Pearson , F VAN

Pearson and Virtanen are similar in the sense that they are getting you exposure to a group of players. Pearson is giving you exposure to the group that is playing well right now in Horvat and Boeser and leaving you salary to pay up elsewhere.

Mid-Tier

Brady Tkachuk , F OTT

Tkachuk might have the most solid floor on this slate, and there is multi-point upside here as well. Vancouver is giving up 4.7 goals per game on the year, and 5.5 goals in the last seven days. Don't fade Ottawa completely tonight.

Bo Horvat , F VAN

With six points in his last four games, Horvat is easily the hottest Canuck right now. This pace isn't sustainable for him, but you should consider riding the hot hand.

Quinn Hughes , D VAN

Much like Tkachuk, the floor for Hughes is high. He won't block many shots, but he shoots a lot, and exposure to the top power-play gives him plenty of upside.

Value Tier

Josh Norris, F OTT

The young top centre has two points in his last three games and has been getting three shots on net per game. With how many goals Vancouver has been giving up, having shares of a top-line player, who is also on the top power-play is going to be valuable.

Alexander Edler , D VAN

Edler is a floor player. He gives you shots and blocks. He hasn't' hit the score sheet as much, recently, but when you put the puck on the net good things can happen.

Drake Batherson , F OTT

You have to love how much Batherson has been shooting, the goals haven't been there yet, but if he keeps going at this pace they will start to come. Much like Norris, you are getting Batherson at a discount, but Ottawa shouldn't have issues scoring tonight, and you're getting a solid floor from Batherson.
