Fantasy waiver wire pickups: Week 18

Pete and Nick are joined by "Waiver Wire" James Harding to highlight the best pickups entering the 18th week of the fantasy season. The guys debate goalies Jeremy Swayman vs. Ilya Sorokin for the rest of the season, Anthony Mantha vs. Jakub Vrana with each nearing a return from injury and discuss breakout seasons for Adrian Kempe, Tage Thompson, Robert Thomas and Mason Marchment. Other topics covered include Alex Tuch's keeper appeal with the Sabres, Cole Caufield's bounce-back play for the Canadiens under coach Martin St. Louis, the buy-low fantasy window on veteran center Nicklas Backstrom and defenseman pickups like Jaccob Slavin and Oliver Ekman-Larsson. The guys also set the table for a big guest coming up on the show this Thursday.
