Pete and Rob are joined by “Waiver Wire” James Harding to highlight the best fantasy pickups entering the second week of the season. The guys discuss the impact of injuries to Max Pacioretty and Mark Stone for the Golden Knights and why Evgenii Dadonov may be worth adding. Other topics covered include Jesse Puljujarvi vs. Zach Hyman for the rest of the season from the Oilers, whether to be concerned about the early struggles for the Blackhawks and Islanders, Braden Holtby's value with the Stars, the Senators vs. Canadiens from a fantasy angle and which rookie defenseman will be most valuable out of Bowen Byram, Moritz Seider and Jamie Drysdale. Other players mentioned include Tyler Bertuzzi, Brandon Tanev, William Eklund, Kirby Dach, Nazem Kadri, Michael Bunting and Jeff Carter.
