DFO Fantasy Show | Trade Deadline Preview + Brock’s Lock of the Day (Mar. 4) 🏒🔥
Welcome back to the DFO Fantasy Show! It’s Wednesday, March 4 and Brock Seguin is back with:
✅ Fantasy hockey news & notes
✅ Brock’s Lock of the Day
✅ A trade deadline preview focused on fantasy impact — who could move, where they fit, and the ripple effects for teammates + waiver wire adds
📰 Fantasy Hockey News & Notes (Mar. 4)
Wild acquire Michael McCarron from Nashville (hits/PK/faceoffs boost)
Predators trade Cole Smith to Vegas
Roope Hintz placed on IR but expected back Friday vs Colorado
Ryan O’Reilly leaves after taking a stick near the eye (status unclear)
Artturi Lehkonen expected to miss time (upper-body injury)
Jake Walman leaves game but not expected to be serious
Curtis Lazar expected out about a week
Colton Parayko won’t play Wednesday (back spasms / possible deadline precaution)
🎯 Brock’s Lock of the Day
Red Wings Moneyline (-130) vs Golden Knights
Detroit returns home, Vegas on a back-to-back, likely seeing Adin Hill, plus no Mark Stone and an illness going around the room.
⏳ Trade Deadline Fantasy Preview (Who could move + what it means)
Brock breaks down fantasy impact for key names on the trade boards, including:
Robert Thomas (STL)
Landing spot could boost value (elite playmaker, PP1 likely)
STL ripple: Buchnevich uptick; keep an eye on Kyrou staying put
Dynasty note: Dalibor Dvorsky becomes more interesting if Thomas moves
Nazem Kadri (CGY)
Hard for value to rise unless he lands somewhere with top-line minutes
Best-case fits mentioned: Minnesota (Kaprizov), Florida (if Barkov out)
Calgary ripple likely limited (team already struggles to score)
Vincent Trocheck (NYR)
Value depends heavily on minutes + linemates
Carolina fit is great real-life, but could cap fantasy ceiling due to balanced TOI
NYR ripple likely modest (top six already leaned on)
Elias Pettersson (VAN)
One of the clearest “value up if traded” cases
Vancouver scoring environment has been brutal — change of scenery could revive him
VAN ripple: keep an eye on Marco Rossi usage
Steven Stamkos (NSH)
Not sure he moves, but his production since mid-November has been unreal
Possible destinations mentioned: MIN, DAL, TBL, NJD
Nashville ripple: more opportunity for Evangelista + Matthew Wood (bigger long-term boost)
Bobby McMann (TOR)
If moved, could become a sneaky waiver add depending on role
TOR ripple: watch Easton Cowan + Nick Robertson for a top-six bump
Evander Kane (VAN)
Banger-league staple (shots + hits)
Worth a speculative add before Friday — trade could unlock better finishing value
Example fit: Dallas top six
Blake Coleman (CGY)
Huge real-life add for a contender, but fantasy value likely stays the same (banger appeal)
Justin Faulk (STL)
Fantasy value hinges on whether he gets PP1 anywhere
STL ripple: Broberg / Cam Fowler could see more PP usage
Dougie Hamilton / Simon Nemec (NJD)
If Hamilton is moved and Nemec stays, Nemec becomes a major waiver watch
Nemec (~7–8% rostered) is the “add now and wait” candidate for deadline week
📌 Waiver Wire Note (End-of-Episode Emphasis)
Simon Nemec is the name Brock is tracking closely heading into Friday — if he stays and Hamilton moves, Nemec could see a major usage jump (including PP time).
