Lewis and Derrick welcome in the new fantasy hockey season and the Short Shifts season 7 premiere with news from the first games and early season strategy advice. First a discussion of the potential value in Chicago's second-line, powered by Frank Nazar's early success. Then the guys cover Geogiev's waiving from Buffalo, Perfetti's injury and Iafallo's promotion in Winnipeg, Arturs Silov's threat to Jarry, and plenty more news and notes. They wrap with some draft notes, as well as waiver wire strategies to get your team off with a win.
