As an Eastern time zone dweller, the playoff seeding in the West being decided by the last two games of the season which are 10pm and 10:30pm starts is not ideal. I wanted to go through a couple of quick thoughts on each series here, and I will update this section sometime Friday morning. Carolina [...]
After spending yesterday afternoon finalizing a car deal and driving it off the lot, I am reminded how similar car shopping is to fantasy sports. Between the research, the bargaining, and making sure that all the rules/guidelines have been read and understood, I think my fantasy experience served me well. * The lottery luck was [...]
Jack Hughes missed last night’s game, and it’s now confirmed that he’s done for the season. He finishes the campaign with 74 points in 62 games, which is just shy of a 100-point-pace. That’s his third season in a row pacing between 94 and 104 points, which would seem to be his production wheelhouse. However, [...]
I know Brennan mentioned Jamie Benn yesterday, but I also wanted to touch on him as someone that has been a huge piece of helping one of my teams into the fantasy finals this week, with his scoring revival of seven goals across a six-game scoring streak from mid- to late-March. Last year’s 76-point-pace is [...]
The East playoff race is not exactly an arms race at the moment, but it is certainly fascinating. The Capitals were supposed to be done two months ago, and were too far out. Instead, after being sellers at the deadline, they’re getting balanced scoring, their top players are producing, and the young guys all look [...]
As we stare down a potentially active goalie market in the NHL, we’re left with the smoke but not much fire from the trade deadline, where we did see a few goalies change teams, but no one likely to make a huge difference fantasy-wise at this point. Logan Thompson reigns as the top value goalie [...]
Connor Bedard, having put up an incredible scoring run after returning from a broken jaw, is now the highest value player in my cap league rankings. With two years left on his entry level deal after this one, it’s not tough to see why. The slightly less expected name in the top-10 is Noah Dobson, [...]
The Flyers made Sean Couturier a healthy scratch just a month after naming him captain, and they went out and had a quick start against the Leafs, scoring 19 seconds in before holding on for the 4-3 win. Couturier has struggled of late, and the drop-off stated back in December when he sustained a minor [...]
With the trade deadline in the rearview mirror, there are a lot of thoughts here covering players in new situations, be it new teams, or with new roles as a result of recent additions/subtractions. Let’s start with the big fish. Jake Guentzel played his first game with the Hurricanes, lining up alongside Evgeny Kuznetsov, and [...]
The only way to properly break down two separate deals where the Avalance send out a centre, and then bring in another centre is to combine them into one recap. Colorado swung two back-to-back deals that addressed areas of concern at centre and right defence. The first of which was sending Ryan Johansen out as [...]
