  Last week here we covered some of the best early-season performers on a cost-per-point basis, and next week we’ll dive into some disappointments, but this week I decided (with the help of some readers as well) that it was time for some cap league goalie coverage. Let’s begin the goalie rant!   **** Marc-Andre [...]

Ramblings: Update on Rantanen; injury to Tatar; Brown called up; slow starts – October 24

  The update on Mikko Rantanen was about as good as Colorado fans and Rantanen fantasy owners could reasonably hope for. Right now, the timeline for return is 4-6 weeks and he’s being considered week-to-week, but the team said they won’t know the full extent of the injury for a few days yet. We’ll know [...]

  Vancouver visited Detroit in the final match of their four-game road trip. Jacob Markstrom started his second consecutive game after missing three while away to deal with personal matters.

A small investment into any of the players below might yield a fantasy hockey championship in a few months. In this week’s Eastern Edge, we take a look at a few players in the Eastern Conference whose [...]

Ramblings: Rantanen injured; Josh Anderson returns; Philly flys; random facts – October 22

  The big news for Monday was that the Flyers had called up Joel Farabee, one of their top prospects. He slotted on the third line with Kevin Hayes and Scott Laughton, while finding himself on the top power-play unit. What’s more is that he was immediately slotted into the bumper role on the top [...]

Wild West: 6 Surging Defensemen

By |2019-10-21T12:18:22-04:00October 21st, 2019|The Wild West|

  Over the past couple of games, I have been seeing a few defensemen popping up quite a few times in the box scores. I’ll be honest one was Oscar Klefbom and I had to check and see if it was an illusion. That led to looking at the top-scoring D in the west - [...]
