For the past three weeks, we covered goalies, defensemen and wingers while examining team-by-team who is primed for fantasy success and who is due for a fall in the coming weeks.

 

We conclude the series with centers this week and I hope you have gained some valuable information with this mini-series. Centers have always been the deepest position in fantasy hockey and the gap that exists between a top-tiered center compared to a waiver wire center is not that apparent especially if you play in a custom league where your league settings may include faceoff wins or shooting percentage.

The mass hysteria in the fantasy hockey world reached a record high recently with the news that superstar goaltender Roberto Luongo would be out with a long-term injury. Mass panic ensued, and many promising fantasy seasons went down the tube. No one will be able to replace Luongo, especially with the kind of season he was having. He looked to be a lock for the Vezina and once again a contender for the Hart Trophy. But now that he is out, what does that mean for Luongo owners?

 Trivia answer - Phil Housley scored 10 in 15 games to start 1987-88. I would have also accepted Al Iafrate who did it in 19 games that same year (so technically he was the "last" person to do it).  Five Karma for the first correct answer in "NHL Rumors" section of the forum. Name the last [...]

There is no solace that comes with losing your starting goaltender due to injury. There’s no extra IR spot on the roster or free agent acquisition to be made, there’s no antidote to fix the scar. Live with it and move on. Roberto Luongo has been placed on the gurney, clad in white sheets and neatly lined up next to Rick DiPietro, Kari Lehtonen, Martin Brodeur, and for now Evgeni Nabokov and Marc-Andre Fleury.

 morrow

 

Jeudi dernier, nous avons perdu un des joueurs les plus importants au monde pour les pools de hockey de saison régulière. Non seulement Brendan Morrow était utile dans plusieurs catégories, mais il jouait dans une des positions les plus difficiles à combler dans les pools – l’aile gauche.

Mais sa blessure n’impacte pas seulement les propriétaires de Brendan Morrow. Loin de là. Pour le meilleur ou pour le pire, les gens qui ont des joueurs à Dallas vont ressentir sa perte.

Thursday night we lost one of the most important fantasy players in the world for the rest of the regular season. Not only was Brenden Morrow a multi-category stud, but he also played one of the most difficult positions to fill in fantasy hockey – left wing.

But his torn ACL does not just impact Brenden Morrow owners. Far from it. For better or for worse, owners of any player in the Dallas organization will feel this one.
