Value in St. Louis
The St. Louis Blues' Keith Tkachuk and Pual Kariya are two veterans who are putting up fantastic fantasy numbers. Both players were under most people's radars when it came to drafting either one, at least if your league isn't very deep. However, Kariya has 1 goal and 9 assists while Tkachuk has 7 goals in s7 games. Tkachuk has yet to register an assist, but I don't see that being a problem for very long.
There are two other guys to keep an eye on here. Andy McDonald has already tallied 9 points in 6 games. McDonald has registered 1 goal and 8 assists through 6 games. McDonald has only twice managed over 70 points and three times has he skated in over 70 games in a season.
Boyes has delivered the most balanced attack of all the aforementioned forwards in St. Louis with 5 goals, 4 assists and 9 points through the first 6 games. The 26 year old has managed plus 60 points twice in his short career, but out four seasons in the NHL he has only managed twice to skate in more than 62 games.

If the Blues can stay healthy all four of these guys could be great waiver pickups.
