Rostering a team under a salary cap can vastly change the value of players in your league. Draft positions change; some players take big jumps while others fall further down the depth chart. Which players are the best to own in a league that counts cap hit? I'd like to start off with who's the best and I'll show you why he is.
Fantasy Impact: The Carolina Hurricanes acquired Evgeni Dadonov and A.J. Jenks from the Florida Panthers for Jonathan Matsumoto and Mattias Lindstrom.
The IR - Letang, Hall, Skinner, Koivu, JVR, Henrique, Eberle and more...
Gaborik vs. Semin: I am going to let you guys in on a little secret; I loathe Band-Aid Boys. What’s the use in owning a player who could, at any moment, spontaneously combust? Sure, anyone could go out for an extended period in today’s “Noggin Hurts League” but there is still something off-putting about knowing that there is a high probability a player will miss 20+ games. With Band-Aid Boys it is basically a coin flip. Heads you get Jekyll, tails you get Hyde.
My Midseason Guide was released January 6 and then an addendum was added Friday the 13th, get it here. Prospects, second-half projections, the trading block – and so much more. Uh oh – Taylor Hall and Jeff Skinner. Down and out. Footage below. Hall took an UGLY one, a fluke in which Corey [...]
Based on last week’s articles, if ice-time and SOG are any indicators of fantasy success, this week’s column will be a good complement in identifying a few trends moving forward. We’ll take a look at several advancers, as well as decliners out West to help you get through that mid-season lull.

Let’s say you want some goal scoring infused into your lineup. One quick look at the top leaders in the Eastern Conference and you’ll see some of the usual suspects – Stamkos, Kessel, Gaborik, etc. Simply looking at standard goal totals might not actually help your squad though. Each year players get hot, cold, go on long stretches of strong or poor performance, or perform differently based on the situations around them. This week I’ll take a deeper look at goal scorers in the Eastern Conference and I’ll follow up with the same analysis in terms of playmakers next week.
This week, I take a look at Toronto's best player (spolier alert, look above), a sleeper in 'Big D', some prospects to target for next season, an unknown AHL star in the making, and more.
January’s Roto Guide undergoes a New Year’s clean up and breaks away from the lone Roto Score column. This time around, the Top 100 features a current on-pace Roto Score as well as a Potential Roto Score based on career performance. By doing so, readers get the best of both worlds – a more accurate month-to-month representation as well as the player’s peak rotisserie abilities.
