Hot Picks - Feb 1-7

ROTISSERIE HOCKEY ANALYSIS
Take the guess work out of your team’s weekly roster change. We look through the waiver wire for an average roto pool and pick the projected top performers for the next week.

These are the border line fantasy players who are almost good enough to earn a full time roster spot, but just as often, end up on the waiver wire where you are free to pick them up as a stand-in.

To appear on this list a player must be:
1. A borderline fantasy pick likely to be on the waiver wire.
2. Projected to have an above average point production over the next week.

Monday February 1 to Sunday February 7, 2010

Sitcom Player Ratings - Vancouver Canucks

Today we look at the Vancouver Canucks using our patented Full House Rating System. Enjoy!
