Here are theScore's winger value rankings for Monday, January 18:
Top Options
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Tomas Hertl (SJ) | vs. OTT | 10 |
| Jonathan Huberdeau (FLA) | vs. EDM | 9 |
| Jaromir Jagr (FLA) | vs. EDM | 8 |
Skating with Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski while they're hot will boost Hertl's value big time. He is too inexpensive to ignore and he should be stacked with one of the Joes. Huberdeau and Jagr haven't seen salaries go up too much despite recent successes.
Best of the Rest
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Blake Wheeler (WPG) | vs. COL | 7 |
| Tobias Rieder (ARI) | vs. BUF | 6 |
| Mikkel Boedker (ARI) | vs. BUF | 6 |
| Jordan Eberle (EDM) | at FLA | 6 |
| Gabriel Landeskog (COL) | at WPG | 5 |
| Patric Hornqvist (PIT) | at STL | 5 |
| Max Domi (ARI) | vs. BUF | 5 |
Wheeler is almost a point-per-game player and has earned his salary designation. Rieder and Boedker have been producing steadier than teammate Domi. While Taylor Hall has been struggling, Eberle has been thriving with 10 points over his last 10 and he comes at a fraction of his teammate's salary.
Nothing to See Here
| Name | Opponent | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Alexander Steen (STL) | vs. PIT | 3 |
| Taylor Hall (EDM) | at FLA | 2 |
| Vladimir Tarasenko (STL) | vs. PIT | 2 |
| Phil Kessel (PIT) | at STL | 2 |
These four are too expensive and have not been returning value over recent weeks. Even with Tarasenko notching six points in nine games, that's not enough for his price tag.
