Crunch Time - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy Hockey Report highlighting the best streaming players for Week 10

By Jeff Stacks · December 7, 2025 · Updated October 11, 2026

Welcome aboard this speeding train of a season, Fantasy Hockey Managers! Hope you're doing well on this fine Saturday morning. First off, I'm incredibly excited to be contributing for the first time to Fantasy Roundup's weekly Fantasy Hockey Report. Being a fantasy hockey manager for over 10 years, I've been looking for an outlet to express my thoughts and ideas on the topic. My wife and buddies are getting sick of hearing me talking about it, so I figured I could write to people who would need it most.

Included at the end of this article is a legend which has definitions for several advanced statistics I'll be using to evaluate players, and any other fantasy hockey-specific terms or jargon I may use.

Most Yahoo leagues allow four player adds per week. The players you can pick up with these adds are generally called "streamers". In this article I'll be outlining my five favourite streamer players for Week 10. One forward, one defenceman, one goalie, one "banger", and one deeper league target.

Week 10 is when things can start to get dicey for your fantasy hockey teams. With about 12 weeks left before your league's trade deadline (make sure to check with your league Commissioner for the actual date), its time to start thinking of how your team will stack up against others in the playoffs.

The first section is headlined "**SUPER SCHEDULES**", where I'm going to list all the NHL teams with a preferable schedule.

In the second section called "**WAIVER WHIPLASH**", I'll list my favourite Forward, Defenceman, and Goalie in the standard Yahoo Head-to-Head (HTH) format.

The third section I've labeled "**BANGER BEASTS**". This will highlight my favourite player overall for those managers in banger formats, which have additional stats: Blocks (BLK), and Penalties in Minutes (PIM), combined with Hits (HIT) mentioned previously.

The final section is entitled "**DEEPER DARLINGS**", where I'll identify an underrated player rostered under 10%, for managers in leagues with 12 teams or more (also called deep leagues).
