Jason Chen and Michael Amato talk about the Caps' slow start, the trickle-down effect of Connor McDavid's injury, finding value players such as Josh Norris after the season begins and a round-up of goalies include the potential dawn of the Joseph Woll era in Leafsland.
In case you missed it, Episode 7 of the Sleepers and Keepers podcast opens up with Jason Chen and Michael Amato discussing their failures in the survivor pool and what happens when you galaxy brain yourself into picking the Wild over the Jackets.
We then discuss the Caps' slow start and when it's time to panic if you have Alex Ovechkin on your fantasy roster, who seems unlikely to live up to his ADP.
Our wide-ranging episode then covers the fallout from Connor McDavid's injury, including the impact of fantasy values from Connor Brown, Leon Draisaitl, Evander Kane and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
If your roster is in trouble already, where can you find value players after the season has already begun? We talk about why Josh Norris and Sean Couturier are under-rostered this season, and why that may be the case for Kirby Dach next season.
Finally, we touch on Joseph Woll's excellent 29-save performance in relief for Ilya Samsonov and a comeback win for the Leafs against the Lightning in a rematch of last season's opening round playoff showdown.
