Jonathan Drouin vs. Nathan MacKinnon

This is one we will no doubt be debating for years to come. Jonathan Drouin and Nathan MacKinnon are two can’t miss prospects in one of the best drafts in recent years (although we do seem to say that every year, don’t we?) Each has the power to not just become an impact player right away but to help change the course of the team that drafts him at Sunday in Newark. And each one could have a similar impact for your fantasy team. But who should you choose?

Points Can Be Deceiving

Taking a look at some point totals that are somewhat deceiving

Even if you look closely at a group of players who all scored roughly the same number of points in a season, chances are each guy could’ve had a somewhat different overall impact on your team. Of course the key is finding the best guy among a group of apparently similar players, as that can often makes the difference between winning and losing in fantasy hockey.

With that in mind, I’ll look at several groups of players who had similar point totals in 2012-13, to see if there were any standouts (good or bad) once you dig a little bit deeper beyond just how many points they scored. I’ll highlight some interesting trends within my discussion of each group, and finish with some key overall takeaways in my Final Verdict.

A couple of afternoon notes - Jonathan Toews was in practice this morning. I would guess that his concussion (that I'm guessing that he had) was a mild one, easily cured by having a Cup-winning game ahead. Down Goes Brown is at it again - hilarious. Ranking the 20 awkward Gary Bettman Cup presentations. * [...]

The NHL Draft – Do Your Homework

Draft

Briggins with some great draft prep advice for the poolies out there

The NHL Draft is just a little over a week away. The past few years, fantasy hockey wasn’t on my mind at this point. Sure, I’d be interested in seeing who went where on draft day and think things like “Grigorenko dropped in the real draft, maybe I can nab him late in my rookie draft”. Looking back on things, I shouldn’t have picked Matt Dumba as high as I did simply because he was a top 10 pick last season.

This season I’m taking a totally different approach to draft day. Here are a couple tips for fantasy hockey prep before the draft takes place.
