I have a few general rules when it comes to building a team in a fantasy hockey keeper league. One of the more important ones is to not plan beyond a two or three year window. You are not building a real NHL club, and too often fantasy hockey poolies place an emphasis on youth and prospects over proven veterans with gas still left in the tank. So using my general rule, take a look at your team(s). Can you realistically say you will have a shot at winning the league at some point within the next two or three seasons? If not, time to scrap the rebuild and start adding proven NHL talent.

Believe it or not, fantasy hockey is a bit like scuba diving.  The threat of sharks is vastly overrated, sometimes there’s nothing you can do except hold your breath, and for the enthusiasts, both can provide moments of pause, like when first gazing over the far edge of a reef into the dark blue vastness of the open ocean.

  I have an update about the new shop - I've seen it, tried it, it works, it's lovely. But we're going to work on the Downloads section so that you can filter out older documents as needed. When that is complete - hopefully within a day or two - we'll go live with the [...]

Forget Me Not (West 2010)

Following the same footsteps as last year, here’s a list of some of the Western Conference underachieving veterans from last season. Many of them underachieved or were simply injured which resulted in them churning out horrible overall numbers for 2009-10. Those low numbers could lead them to be undervalued, so make sure you make a mental note of these players and don’t fall into the trap of undervaluing them like some of your competitors might on draft day.

  Sean Bergenheim has signed a one-year deal with Tampa Bay, per James Mirtle. I'll put up an analysis on that shortly.   Some notes - still hoping to get the new shop page set up today, but may hold off until tomorrow. We're close though. The Fantasy Guide is updated but I haven't uploaded [...]

The Diabolical Backups

Listen for the soft steps of the Diabolical Backups, lest you fall victim to a sneak attack! Those pesky, conniving, crafty, devious teammates are like a swarm of locusts digging into your skin. They test the patience, irritate the mind and eat away at one’s focus. They pressure starters to play at their best on a nightly basis, and like a virus, can exponentially destroy confidence from within. The diabolical backups - they force other goalies to keep their foot on the gas. The diabolical backups - anything can happen when a starter’s playing time is cut in half.

  The Fantasy Guide can be purchased here. It was last updated August 10 and should have another update by tomorrow.   Tampa has just traded Kari Ramo to the Habs for Cedrick Desjardins. An interesting move that I will research and blog about in tomorrow's ramblings (which I'll probably post in two or three [...]
