Here are the Top 100 defensemen to own in your points-only keeper league - July edition. This month I'm still manually tweaking. The August edition will be fully audited with proper short-term projections entered into my template, proper lineups put in, etc. For this edition, I added in the best drafted players from [...]
Both the Draft and Free Agency are behind us which means there really isn’t a whole lot left to do this offseason. There is still the possibility of offer sheets but let’s face it, NHL general managers are more concerned with getting a Christmas card from a rival than improving their own team. Were [...]
This summer marks the return of Cage Match Tournaments focusing on breakout players. I figured with the rise in league-wide scoring, the Tournaments should be about picking the next group of players to make leaps into higher scoring echelons. To cover all the angles for your leagues, I’ll be doing tiers of forward breakout [...]
Here are the Top 300 skaters to own in your points-only keeper league - July edition. This month I'm still manually tweaking. The August edition will be fully audited with proper short-term projections entered into my template, proper lineups put in, etc. For this edition, I added in the best drafted players from last [...]
I really like the Robin Lehner signing for the Islanders (Mike breaks it down with his thoughts here, which I agree with). The Isles have two of the best goaltending prospects in all of hockey with Ilya Sorokin and Linus Soderstrom, but neither will be available this season and likely not next year either. So [...]
The Carolina Hurricanes have signed defenseman Calvin de Haan to a four-year contract worth $18.2 million. The Hurricanes get: probably the best two-way defenseman on the free agent market, but also the most injury prone. Were it not for said injuries, we could be talking about a completely different de Haan right now as [...]
Following his departure from the Sabres, which is a kind way of saying they didn’t want him back, it seemed inevitable that Robin Lehner would find a job somewhere. On Tuesday night, he signed a one-year deal with the New York Islanders with a cap hit of $1.5-million. The Islanders appear set to go [...]
I’ve sufficiently exhausted most of the advanced stat metrics I could throw at you this summer, but don’t worry, we’ll keep revisiting them and hopefully as promised wrap everything up come draft time with ADP values. Now it’s time to switch gears and start looking at each team in the East, we’ll take a [...]
Here are the Top 100 goaltenders to own in your fantasy hockey keeper leagues - June edition (yeah, I know...) Last month I tried a new idea and sorted the goalies by Tiers. This is because I honestly don't care which goaltender I own if it is between two goalies in the same tier. [...]
It was always a near-certainty that Joe Thornton would return to the Sharks on a similar deal as last year and he signed on of those Monday afternoon. It’s just a one-year deal with a $5-million cap hit. Thornton, now 39 years old, is coming off significant knee problems in each of the last two [...]
