The Keeper Trade Conundrum
By J.P. of Japer's Rink It's that time of the year again - the race for your fantasy league's title is whittling itself down to a few contenders and, if you're in a one-year league, the pretenders are working on their fantasy baseball draft prep. If you're in a keeper league, though, the pretenders are looking to the future. Either way, there is a growing fear among the teams at the top that one (or more) of the teams at the bottom will make a trade that will fundamentally shift the balance of power at the top in a way that's not in the best interest of the league. You know the trade I'm talking about – the one that results in name-calling, threats to quit the league and crying like a girl watching Titanic.
Another week, another ten wonderful prospects. Since I love this kind of thing like Kings fans love Dan Cloutier being on the IR, I'm not ready to end this next week. But it's up to you, dear readers. Is 30 enough? A top 60, maybe? How about 90? Or somewhere in between? The greatest advantage one can have in the world of fantasy hockey is knowledge. Well, that and someone else having drafted Clouts.
