Why Legace Makes a Great Sleeper

 Manny Legace

 

We all are in agreement that the best goalies to own next season are Roberto Luongo and Martin Brodeur. We can also agree that there is a second tier that would include Miikka Kiprusoff, Marty Turco, Ryan Miller and Henrik Lundqvist. From that point, there are a handful of goaltenders who will give you solid fantasy numbers – to the extent that they could perform just as well as anyone in that second tier. These goaltenders include Tomas Vokoun, Rick DiPietro, Ray Emery, J-S Giguere (wherever he goes), Evgeni Nabokov, Marc-Andre Fleury and Cam Ward.

 

There is another one you should add to the list. In fact, you can stick him in the group of second-tier netminders. He’ll be that good.

Two million page views and growing...  Brendan Morrison underwent successful hernia surgery on June 7. He is the NHL's reigning iron man and he could finally play pain-free this year, for the first time in two years. If so, I think he could get back up into the 60s.  There are some suggestions going around the media [...]

Several sources indicate that the Leafs have signed Simon Gamache. No further details, but I would assume it is a two-way deal and this is a minor deal. However, if I were GM (Dobber for GM!), I would insist that he plays 18 minutes a game for 10 games on the top line. I would [...]

I noticed a couple of fantasy sites have outlined the NHL award winners. If you want me to do that, flip me an email...otherwise I will just assume you know them all.  Now that Columbus has a new GM, word out of the organization is that Zherdev may be pushing for a trade. Since the [...]

The Hamilton Predators! Wow - that would sure teach the Leafs some lessons... Unbelievable - the Flames have hired Mike Keenan as their head coach. Funny how all the Playfair talk had died off and Keenan was snug in his European job...and now this. I'm not sure I would be so interested in Kristian Huselius now. [...]

Antropov and Ponikarovsky

As keeper league hockey pools increase in number each year, fantasy junkies become more active in the offseason as they prepare their team for the coming year. Rebuild? Retool? Tweak? Whatever your intentions, it helps to get all the information you can about your players. FPL will look at a pair of teams each week and give you the fantasy lowdown. Bucking the trend of past years, FPL will review alphabetically – in reverse. Just to be different.

Florida gave Bryan Allen a five year deal for nearly three million per year. He's the one defensive, hard hitting rearguard on a team seemingly full of offensive ones. Still...that's a lot of coin.  The Boston Bruins have re-signed rearguard Andrew Alberts. He should be good for 140 PIMs this season. After playing in the Czech [...]

"How to Start a Keeper League" Version #4 is (finally) up. Click the 'starting a pool' link to check it out.  I just posted this on the forum, but thought i would explain for all to see, in case some people don't understand why Toronto and Sundin agreed to a one-year deal: Sundin was only scheduled [...]
