INSIGHT

Hart Signing Is Long-Term, Not Immediate

  • Carter Hart signing gives Vegas a potential long-term option but he cannot play until Dec. 1 and hasn't played since Jan 2024.
  • Aiden Hill remains the likely starter unless he struggles, so short-term fantasy impact is limited.
ADVICE

Treat Hart As A Future Handcuff

  • Consider Aidan Hill as the primary fantasy goalie in Vegas for now and treat Hart as a dynasty/deeper-league handcuff.
  • Avoid expecting Hart to immediately supplant Hill unless Hill struggles markedly.
ADVICE

Attack Buffalo In Week With Four Games

  • Do target Buffalo players this week since they play four games and have momentum after consecutive wins.
  • Consider rostering Zach Benson and Josh Doan who are producing in larger roles.
