Although it may feel like we’re still early in the season, it’s already time to take stock of what’s happening with your fantasy squad. Some teams have already played 12.5 per cent of their season’s game, which would be the equivalent of 10 games in the usual 82-game season. That’s generally a good benchmark of [...]

I thought that this season would be a very difficult one to navigate through in fantasy hockey. I even considered punting one of my three dynasty/keeper leagues for this year and just build for a big 2021-22 (a friend of mine actually did/is doing that).
