Of fantasy hockey-related note:
Sportsnet’s Michael Amadio weighs in on the Red Wings’ signing of J.T. Compher from a fantasy hockey perspective…
The Detroit Red Wings spent a bunch of money in free agency, including a pretty rich multi-year deal for J.T. Compher. I’m not sure Compher will be able to duplicate a strong 2022-23 season in Detroit, though, as he recorded 29 of his 52 points playing with Mikko Rantanen after a bunch of injuries pushed him up the Colorado Avalanche lineup. Compher won’t be playing with anyone close to Rantanen’s talent level in Detroit and is probably destined for more of a defensive role.
And Daily Faceoff’s Nick Alberga has this to say about Shayne Gostisbehere:
Shayne Gostisbehere – Detroit Red Wings – DAfter rising back to fantasy prominence in Arizona last season, Gostisbehere’s stock took a substantial hit when he was traded at the deadline to Carolina. Now with Detroit, the 30-year-old should get ample opportunity —at least at even strength. That said, Moritz Seider figures to retain his role quarterbacking the first play unit, which obviously bodes terribly for Gostisbehere’s fantasy stock. Then again, things can change quickly.
