Episode notes
Vegas Offense Is Unusually Deep
- The Vegas Golden Knights offense is a juggernaut with multiple players averaging a point per game through six games.
- Jack Eichel's MVP-Hart-level start (15 points in six games) makes him a legitimate early contender for major awards.
Hold Underperforming Stars Briefly
- Do not panic and drop Shea Theodore or other underperforming stars after a slow starts; hold for upside.
- Be patient because role and power-play changes can quickly restore fantasy value.
Hart Signing Is Long-Term, Not Immediate
- Carter Hart signing gives Vegas a potential long-term option but he cannot play until Dec. 1 and hasn't played since Jan 2024.
- Aiden Hill remains the likely starter unless he struggles, so short-term fantasy impact is limited.
