Only two weeks left to go before the big dance, hopefully you're all doing well down the stretch in your pools! Unfortunately, I have to keep things a bit short here as I've had a crazy week and the weekend is looking to be more of the same. Last Saturday I finished 5-1, which [...]
Vladimir Tarasenko returned to the lineup for St. Louis after missing the last couple of games with an upper-body injury. At least head-to-head fantasy owners will get him for this weekend and heading into next week. For those that needed all of his games this week, well, sorry about that. He wouldn’t specify what the [...]
By this point in time your fantasy playoffs are underway and that need for regularly rostered players to produce to net the hardware is vital. There are several household names that have failed us in one way or another earlier in the season, only to now be recuperating what they can of the campaign. [...]
All fantasy owners need help in the short term AND the long term. The Looking Ahead feature identifies one player to plug into lineups in the short term, a second to invest in for the long term, a third to bench for the coming week, and a fourth who will struggle to meet expectations [...]
I continue to obsess over the conundrum that fantasy owners will face this summer when considering who to draft first overall in prospect drafts. Rasmus Dahlin is a lock to go #1 overall in the NHL draft, and looks like he might be the best defenseman prospect we’ve seen in a long time. I [...]
This week's Capped reviews some of the disappointing big-money players of the season. **** When things go wrong in your salary cap league, it can be due to not having enough low-cost support players, but it almost always means that your big stars just didn’t perform. This year was no different in that some [...]
Match-Up Spotlight: With the 10-game slate, there are several games to look at. The Toronto Maple Leafs face the Nashville Predators in what is expected to be one of the highest event games of the night. These are two teams that can shoot the puck a lot. Carolina and Arizona is another game where scoring [...]
Around this time last year, I looked at some breakout candidates for the 2017-18 season. Specifically, I looked for players who failed to reach 55 points who stood a good chance of clearing 65 the following year. This is something we’ll do again, but first let’s look at how last year’s breakout candidates have [...]
I know many of us are focusing on our playoff matchups this week, so I’ll try and get straight to the point! If you don’t see a certain player below, there probably haven’t been any major developments in their progress. Once there is a significant update, I’ll be sure to have it for you on [...]
It’s rare enough to find top defensemen who match up well for this column, but this week’s battle is a true first in the nearly five years I’ve been doing Cage Match because it features two rearguards from the same team: Roman Josi and P.K. Subban. Who should you pursue in your leagues going forward? [...]
