Fantasy Hockey Podcast: We hope you've got somewhere very far to travel, because we're serving up commute-length eleganza in this episode of Keeping Karlsson!

In this edition of the show, Elan tries not to get too down on superstars who have had not-so-super starts to the season, including elite fantasy mainstays in Pittsburgh and Anaheim and injuries in San Jose and Detroit. To your potential surprise, Brian takes it upon himself to rush forth with silver linings found buried within the grey number clouds.

We also play our first round of Sustainable or Fleeting for the 2015-16 season, zeroing in on the production prognosis of sophomores in Tampa, Buffalo and Florida, as well as a pack of Yotes getting plucked of waiver wires far beyond Arizona.

The episode wraps up with a lightning round chock full of shallow and deep adds for you to consider heading into the next week of fantasy action, including a league leading Maple Leaf, a top-3 Hab, an Islander trying to make it on his own, a well-appointed Senator, a wayward Oiler finally sticking on a scoring line, a pair of Canes contributing to their team's early successes, and the other rookie in Buffalo.
