Waiver Wire Adds: March 15th Edition
Beware the Ides of March! Not so much because members of the Roman senate are plotting your demise, but because we’re about a month away from the end of the NHL regular season. Time is short for you to make improvements. For those of you in head to head leagues, the playoffs will be starting soon (Playoffs in my league start Monday the 16th). For those of you in Roto leagues, it’s not too late to improve your standing in the…umm… standings. Without further adieu, here are some of the hottest players that are also available in most leagues:
RW Jason Williams (owned in 7% of Yahoo Leagues) Last Month: 12 Points (4 G, 8 A, +4, 10 PIMS). Williams has played well (19 points in 26 games) since coming to Columbus from Atlanta in Mid January. He’s been particularly hot lately with 7 points (3 G, 4A) in his last 6, and seems comfortable playing on a line with Antoine Vermette and R.J. Umberger. Expect his solid play to continue.
LW Alexander Ponikarovsky (owned in 17% of Yahoo Leagues) Last Month: 13 points (3 G, 10 A, +3) Ponikarovsky has been a solid but unspectacular contributor so far this season. However, after exploding for 4 points (4 assists) in Saturday’s game against Calgary, he seems poised to finish the season strong. With 48 points, Ponikarvosky has already surpassed his career high in points for a season, and could offer even more in his final 12 games.
C Patrice Bergeron (owned in 18% of Yahoo Leagues) Last Month: 11 points (3 G, 8 A, +3) Thought Bergeron has struggled to stay on the ice, he continues to show that when fully healthy, he is a very productive player. Bergeron is skating with Boston’s 3rd line, but has points in 6 of his last 8 games. He could be a productive add for the last weeks of the season.
D Anton Babchuk (owned in 10% of Yahoo Leagues) Last Month 10 points (5 G, 5 A, +12) Babchuk only has 22 points on the season, but 10 of those points have come in his last 15 games. In addition, he’s a +12 in his last 15 games to boot. If you’re desperate for a defenseman, Babchuk would be a nice addition.
PIM specialist: D Jim Vandermeer (owned in 1% of Yahoo Leagues) Last Month 2 points (0G, 2 A, +6, 48 PIMS) Vandermeer has earned PIMs in 6 of his last 9 games, including 17 PIMs in March 6th, and 14 on March 12th. He won’t help anywhere else, but if you’re in need, Vandermeer could give a late boost to your PIM totals.
Best of Luck in the week to come!
