Jason Chen and Michael Amato make their picks for the best banger league player in fantasy hockey at the quarter mark of the fantasy hockey season.
In leagues that count faceoffs, it's hard not to pick a high-usage center as the banger league gem.
For Jason, the best banger league player so far has been the Canucks' J.T. Miller, playing top-six minutes and PP1 while stuffing all the categories you could imagine, including shots and hits. With RW eligibility in Yahoo leagues, his added versatility is a huge bonus.
Michael picks Wild pivot Joel Eriksson Ek, who doesn't have as much offensive upside as Miller but plays in all situations and offers broad category coverage in points, shots, faceoff wins, hits and blocks.
