I'd snap up Zibanejad quick. Clear top option. Radulov is a decent alternative too but hes injured.
Looking to replace Hertl, who's been frustrating -- and is now out for two weeks with Covid protocols.
Who do you like for points the rest of the way?
Zibanejad
Zacha
Kreider
Tuch
Zuccarrello
Radulov (expected back sometime in the next 6 games)
(the rest of these guys below are still good but have played 4/5 more games than most of the ones above...)
Atkinson
Roslovic
Dvorak
Kessel
Nick Schmaltz
Garland
Kubalik
F: McDavid, Kucherov, Eichel, Gaudreau, M Tkachuk, E Lindholm, Rob Thomas, Hischier
D: S Jones, Werenski, DeAngelo, Hamilton
G: Husso, Raanta

You have faith in Mika, eh? He has me a little uneasy as his only goal in the last 15 games was an empty netter... and in the same span he still only has 3 assists. He's still awfully quiet which makes me nervous that perhaps the Covid effects have messed with him or something...
That said, he could be ready to burst open the dam at any moment...

How is hertl owned with those guys on the wire. This league seems to make no sense. I’d take almost all of them over hertl even if hertl was playing.

Zuccarello is super hot right now.
I'd look at Garland and Dvorak too, but Zibanejad is the best player out of all of those, even though he is having a terrible season so far.
One Year. 11 teams. Points only. G=1. A=1. GWG=1. W=2. SO=3
8 F, 4D, 2G. 5 drops all year. ***NO BENCH, NO IR, SWAP D for D, F for F, G for G ONLY***
F: P Kane, Wheeler, Kucherov, Malkin, Batherson, Crosby, Eichel, Point
D: Carlson, Q Hughes, Barrie, Karlsson
G: Demko, Ullmark
Careful on Garland though. Did not play yesterday and is day to day with a lower body injury. I'm not so sure about the Rangers. So inconsistent. It's as though they're trying for the number 1 pick again.
I wouldn't get too hung up on extra games (although important). I give more weight to points per game, TOI, PP, ect. On your top list, I think Tuch is really coming on. On your lower list, I like Arizona, so any of their guys. Kessel looks reborn. Hope this is more helpful than "take any of the guys on your list are better than Hertl"

Zib and Garland
I would take my cahnces with Zibanejad. But keep an eye on guys like Kubalik and Garland.
