Time to Buy Low on Hemsky
Standard Spin: Ales Hemsky owners have been spending a lot of time wondering where things went wrong this year. Hemsky missed the beginning of the season with a shoulder injury that cost him 10 games, then put up a measly 10 points in 23 games upon returning. But suddenly Hemsky has a faint fantasy pulse. The Oilers are looking for him to step up with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jordan Eberle on the shelf. Hemsky is back on the top PP unit, has 4 points in his last 4 games - including the Oilers' only goal in a 2-1 loss to the Devils Wednesday - and the Oilers will want to audition him for other teams as the trade deadline approaches. He's the subject of relentless trade rumors, and there's a good chance the Oilers will deal him to a contender. If the stars align, Hemsky could fall into a great situation for the stretch run, and he might be available now from a frustrated fantasy owner at rock bottom prices. (Jan.12)
