Fantasy Hockey Waiver Wire: Vasily Podkolzin a must-add skating with Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl

But enough of the preamble. Let's see a sample of a few NHLers who've mainly gone under the fantasy radar.

Vasily Podkolzin, EDM (Yahoo: 54%): Imagine being on a line with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl at both five-on-five and the power play. The fantasy upside alone would be worth adding that player. Podkolzin opened with two goals (one PPG) and seven shots over 18:20 against the Canucks and followed that up Thursday by contributing another marker and assist (both PPPs) alongside four pucks on net from another 18-plus minute game. If this isn't the definition of a no-brainer pickup, I don't know what is.

Dylan Strome, WAS (Yahoo: 47%): Strome can claim a strong rapport with Alex Ovechkin, having been his primary center since arriving in Washington. And the two are set to run it back for what could be the future Hall of Famer's finale. During their time together, Strome hasn't posted less than 58 points, 21 PPPs and 143 shots in any season. With No. 8 by his side, that streak should continue.
