79. Matt Duchene
The Nashville Predators newest addition should be a fantastic choice in fantasy hockey this year, because, for the first time in his career, Matt Duchene will finally have stable linemates.
Adding stable linemates to a player who can already get you 25-30 goals and add 30-40 assists a year is a recipe for a breakout season, which is why now is the time to jump on the Matt Du-train.
Word on the street is that Duchene will be playing on a line with Filip Forsberg and Mikael Granlund, which could easily become one of the best lines in hockey.
Adding Duchene to a line with a guy with 30 goal upside and another guy who is an assist machine is a favorable position for a player, which is why it is time to buy into him in fantasy hockey.
If he is available in the 7th or 8th round of your draft, there is no reason why you shouldn’t take a flier on Matt Duchene.
