If there was ever a season where you wanted to go the zero-goalie rule (waiting until late in the draft to select a netminder), this would have been the year. Scoring was up to an average of 3.18 goals per game per team, the most since 1993-94. The uptick in scoring led to plenty of surprising [...]
Here are the top 200 prospect forwards to own in your points-only dynasty leagues - April edition!

As I mentioned yesterday, the Blue [...]
