These are pretty much the top of the crop left on the waiver wire...need 1 of them.

Evander Kane (WPG) - 2nd line with Little and Wellwood
Daniel Alfredson (OTT) - 2nd line with Fogliano and Da Costa
Gabriel Landeskog (COL) - 3rd line with O'Reilly and Winnik
Alex Burisimov (WPG) - 1st line with Ladd and Antropov
Ales Hemsky (EDM) - 1st line with RNH and Hall (injured)
Chris Kunitz (PIT) - 2nd line with Staal and Dupuis

Who do you think?

It hurts me to say it but take Hemsky out of the equation, that (injured) status is there all to often. After that I personally take Kane and Kunitz out of the equation. Alfredson is better than either of them, and Burisimov I think will outperform both of them. Burisimov is just a guess though. Landeskog is intriguing, but I'd like to see him move to the second line before giving him a shot with the competition listed. I guess I go personally

Alfredson
Burisimov
Landeskog

in that order.

Thanks.
What about Mike Fisher?

Fisher is off to a hot start, if you have a revolving door policy (I can do 4 pickups every week, so the lower tier players I can swap pretty regularly, that's what I mean with revolving door) then he's a good pickup, if you are looking long term I'd steer away.
