After a hiatus for a couple of weeks due to vacation I am returning this week to finish off the playoff coverage. In the previous articles we covered teams that were eliminated in the first two rounds and identified players who seemed like they were on the outs and those who were getting a bigger [...]
The Top 100 Roto Rankings have been updated for July following the free agent signings. We’re finally getting an idea of how rosters are shaping up for the upcoming season. As always, you can leave your feedback on the rankings to help make them more accurate for everyone. I’ll take the time to evaluate a [...]
In Tuesday’s Ramblings, I offered some guesses at players that I think will be undervalued when it comes draft time in September. They were more high-end options like Buffalo’s JJ Peterka, Columbus’s Kirill Marchenko, and Calgary’s Mackenzie Weegar. Today we’re going to dig deeper and look for values further down the list. As always, data [...]
With the playoffs over, it’s time for a poll I like to run this time every year. The gist is you vote on whether players whose production in the playoffs differed – in a good or bad way – from their 2023-24 regular season scoring rate, are going to score in 2024-25 at a rate [...]

Not much news to speak of in terms of what’s popping in the Eastern Conference right now, which makes sense considering the flurry of activity that transpired at the beginning of the month and with training camps set to open in roughly 60 days.

Quinton Byfield has signed a five-year extension with Los Angeles, totalling $31.25M over those seasons. The $6.25M cap hit makes it very palatable for cap league purposes as he’s just starting to scratch the surface of what he can produce in the fantasy game. It would not be the least bit shocking to see a [...]
The July Roto Rankings have been updated to account for offseason trades and free agent signings. The stat categories for the Roto Rankings are as follows: Goals, Assists, Special Teams Points, Shots on Goal, Penalty Minutes, Hits, and Blocked Shots. These rankings are different from keeper rankings in that they don’t extend beyond the current [...]
Goaltenders. Likely the hottest topic and hardest position to manage in the fantasy hockey game. Handling goalie rosters with precision, and getting lucky with injuries, likely leads to a team finishing near the top of the table each season - regardless of the format or how many GMs are in the league.
