Goaltender Performance and Contract Situations

Pete, Nick and Anna are joined by guest Jake Hahn of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio to (over)react to the first few nights of the season, answer early fan questions and identify the best pickups going into the weekend. Topics covered include the fantasy spin on Connor Bedard's hot start for the Blackhawks, his productive linemate Ryan Donato, the week-to-week injury for Taylor Hall and whether you should be concerned about a rough season debut for the Oilers goalies. Other players mentioned include Jonas Johansson and Nick Paul as fantasy pickups from the Lightning, Brock Boeser vs. Vladimir Tarasenko after Boeser's four-goal game, Golden Knights goalie Adin Hill picking up where he left off in the playoffs, rookie sleepers Zach Benson and Matthew Poitras and the renewed futures appeal of the Jets after re-signing Connor Hellebuyck and Mark Scheifele.
