    Default Which players to stream for final week Apr 8-18?

    Originally I was thinking of a Vegas player and Chicago's Kurashev

    The best Vegas players not taken are Mantha and Barbashev:

    In the Last Month drop down, they basically have the same stats.
    Mantha has been hotter lately but Barbashev is on PP1 with Eichel and Marchy.

    But then I thought of Conor Garland (who pl

    Or would you stream Garland for 5 games vs the above Vegas players for 6?

    Any thoughts?

    I'm also planning to stream Kurashev (5 games but much better stats than the Vegas guys).

    I'd go Barbashev here. We could argue that Hertl coming back could hurt his deployment but apparently he would stay in the front line and pp1.
    Plus, 6 games for Vegas that wants to give everything in the next weeks for playoff spot, I believe that's the best bet to take.

    If you can catch Barbashev when he's hot, he's great. But he's also someone who goes stretches without doing anything. And no way do I want to pin my hopes on Mantha. Yes, he's been superb of late but his ice time is not very good, suggesting he's overachieving. Garland is indeed playing with Miller, so that is something to consider, and he's been on PP1 for the last four games, with a PPT to show for it. And Kurashev has put together perhaps the quietest 19 points in 17 games stretch I can remember, and is seemingly entrenched on PP1; but that does include 7 goals on just 30 shots, and 30 SOG is not a lot.

    All things considered, I think that even with the Vegas game in hand you might fare best focusing on Garland and Kurashev.

    I'd take barbashev also.

    In my league hanifin and theodore are also available, should I go with one of them over barbashev?
