Jason Chen and Michael Amato talk about the Oilers potentially getting a coaching bump with Kris Knoblauch replacing Jay Woodcroft, the Leafs' young players making their impact and a rundown of a messy goalie situation across the league.
In case you missed it, Episode 10 of the Sleepers and Keepers podcast opens up with Jason Chen and Michael Amato discussing the Oilers' new coaching bump with Kris Knoblauch, who gets his first ever head coaching gig in the NHL and was previously Connor McDavid's coach in the OHL. Does making a change behind the bench turn the Oilers' season around despite their mediocre defense and atrocious goaltending?
Matthew Knies is now playing L1 and Nick Robertson has provided some much-needed depth scoring for the Leafs. While their defense and goaltending remain suspect – there's a theme here – the Leafs cannot rely on Auston Matthews forever. Good thing in fantasy that it's primarily offense that counts.
That's bad news for goalies throughout the league, and already we're seeing big timeshares in Carolina, Detroit, Toronto, Buffalo and Anaheim. Jason and Michael play a quick game of who-would-you-rather among fantasy goalies for the rest of the season.
