Welcome to the Fantasy Hockey Waiver Wire Report! The waiver wire is key to winning. It helps you improve on the team you drafted, and to help patch holes when players go down due to injury. It’s something most managers will monitor daily. Let’s take a look at who we should be adding this week.

Ondrej Kase- Toronto Maple Leafs - Winger

Ondrej Kase was moved to the top line with Auston Matthews and William Nylander, and so far, it’s worked out very nicely for him. The former Bruin has three goals in the last three games and seems to have found some instant chemistry with his new linemates. If he can continue to produce, Kase will hold that top line spot and never look back. He’s a must add right now considering his tremendously high upside.

Jordan Eberle - Seattle Kraken- Winger

I know we’ve already talked about Jordan Eberle in a previous waiver wire report, but clearly no one was listening. The veteran winger has seven goals and two assists in the last two weeks, and yet, he’s only 36% owned in Yahoo! leagues. This is your last chance to claim him before it’s too late. The Kraken aren’t very good, which means Eberle is going to be on the ice a lot trying to score goals. Game script most nights will be in his favour, which is something that will continue to allow him to keep his production high. I’m not going to repeat myself so listen closely; add Jordan Eberle before you can’t no more!

Ryan Getzlaf - Anaheim Ducks - Center

With the Anaheim Ducks being good, Ryan Getzlaf has once again become fantasy relevant. The captain has 15 points this season, and while he only has one goal, he’s still doing enough to be on a points only fantasy team. The veteran is going to slow down at some point, but right now, he’s a great addition to a fantasy team that needs some consistency when it comes to racking up the points.

Cayden Primeau - Montreal Canadiens - Goaltender

Jake Allen left Saturday’s start due to an upper-body injury, and we don’t know how long he might be out of the lineup. Sam Montembeault came in to take over, and while he did start off shaky, he was able to do enough to let Montreal get back into the game. That being said, he’s not a good goalie, and if Allen were to miss a significant amount of time, and Carey Price nowhere ready to return, someone is going to have to step and lead the team. In comes Cayden Primeau, who could do that short-term and help fantasy owners who need a goalie. It’s a risky add, and he may not even play, but Primeau is the goalie to own if Allen can’t play, period.

Ben Chiarot - Montreal Canadiens - Defence

I have no idea when Ben Chariot decided to become good, but here we are. We know that it’s a contract year for him, and he’s doing his best to make sure he can get paid at the end of the season. His four goals this season is what has everyone turning their heads. We know he can hit and block shots, but adding any offence to his game makes him a real solid fantasy hockey player. In category leagues, he’s a player you can grab for nothing and that can be in your lineup every night. He’s not going to maintain this pace all year, but for now, he’s doing enough to earn a roster spot on any team.
