Even though the NHL trade deadline isn't for another three weeks, many fantasy leagues have already seen their own trade deadlines pass. The trade deadline was this past Saturday in one of my dynasty leagues. In another one of my keeper leagues, deals are allowed until the Sunday after the NHL trade deadline. If your [...]
With Kailer Yamamoto and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins sidelined, the Oilers iced a less-than-ideal lineup. And you can tell that Coach Jay Woodcroft felt that way because man did he ever shorten the bench. Four players saw under 7:45 of ice time, three other players saw under 12:45. That means five players topped 21:56, with Leon Draisaitl [...]

Don’t look now, but the NHL playoffs are only about 60 days away. With that comes the stretch run of the schedule in which teams jockey for postseason positioning and legitimate contenders begin to separate themselves from peripheral pretenders. In more plain terms: buckle up for a two-month ride of what is sure to feature [...]
Well despite what appeared to be a successful week of hockey on the fantasy sites, with larger than normal contests filling often times well in advance of lock, the return of the NBA has the NHL contest sizing right back to “normal”.
