Mike Fisher goes from Ottawa who are minus 62 in goal differential to the Nashville Predators who are plus 15 in goal differential. Mike Fisher owners rejoice, the best is yet to come.
Analysis: Mike Fisher leaves an awful team and hopefully for fantasy owners his minus 19 rating on the year as well. He is available in about forty percent of leagues and if your in need of a center and Peter Forsberg is not available you need to strongly consider what Fisher brings to the table. The only thing that has prevented him from being owned in every league is the Ottawa defense and goaltending which have allowed the second most goals in the NHL.
Projection: It’s still too early to pinpoint how well Fisher will fit into Nashville’s system but we do know he shoots a ton, get a lot of ice time and won’t hurt you in the plus/minus category anymore. Expect about 15-20 points the rest of the season as Fisher will help the Preds try to chase down Detroit for the central division crown.
