Fantasy Analysis
Mike Fisher has rebounded smartly from a very slow start to the season when he was still hindered by the effects of offseason shoulder surgery. He makes for a great fantasy play right now, centering the Preds' top line between Martin Erat and Sergei Kostitsyn. (Updated 02/10/2012).

02/03/2012 17:22 Neutral Zone Wrap: Worth another look?
If you need some help on the waiver wire, Evan Berofsky tells you about the players you might have previously overlooked in his Neutral Zone Wrap.
After spending 10 full seasons in Ottawa, the Sens dealt Fisher to the Predators in exchange for draft picks in February 2011. With injuries to pivots Matthew Lombardi, David Legwand and Cal O'Reilly, Fisher was expected to immediately step into the lineup and center the Preds' top line, as well as provide some veteran leadership. Over the next 55 games, Fisher went on to score 14 goals and 10 assists, well below his usual level of productivity and career-high of 53 points in 79 games the previous season. Not to mention, Fisher struggled defensively with his new team as evidenced by an ugly plus-minus rating of -19. Looking ahead, Fisher will be called upon once again to center one of the Preds' top two lines, a role he has not excelled at over his career. Furthermore, the Preds are not exactly a top-tier offensive club, so he doesn't have an abundance of talent surrounding him. A 40-45 point season is probably a reasonable expectation for him, assuming offseason shoulder surgery doesn't lead to complications. (Updated 10/4/11)
