This week on Frozen Tool Forensics we are going to be digging into the young guns. We will be looking at their current production and giving some perspective on whether what they are doing is sustainable for those trying to make some short term decisions, but by and large the bigger question for these guys [...]
This week on Frozen Tool Forensics we are going to dive into upcoming UFAs. We won’t specifically be tackling which players might be moving at the deadline, though there certainly could be some overlap in the names we address today. Instead, we are taking a look at players who have seen changes in their production [...]
Today on Frozen Tool Forensics we are looking back to draft day. A lot has happened since then and we are going to attempt to quantify a bit of that and highlight some big changes for players. To do this we are going to take some Yahoo average draft positions and compare them to the [...]

This week on Frozen Tool Forensics we are turning specifically toward defence production. There are certainly a number of D making headlines, from rookie Matthew Schaefer whom we discussed last week, to Simon Nemec pulling off a hattrick, to Cale Makar casually on an 111-point pace. Today though I want to focus on players who [...]
There have been many impressive performances to start the season and a surprising number of them have been from this year’s rookie class. For today we are going to take a look at some of the top scoring rookies. In a standard redraft league rookies are typically not that helpful. They go hot and cold, [...]
Last week we used league scoring data to focus on some players who were performing well in the early going to see if there were any hot streaks worth jumping on.
