As training camps get underway, it’s important to keep an eye on what line combinations are developing throughout the league. The success Michael Bunting enjoyed playing with Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner last year made him very valuable as an add off the waiver wire, so watch for other players that might be able to [...]
It remains to be seen where Matthew Tkachuk slots in to the Florida Panthers lineup, but I think it’s safe to say his offensive numbers are going to take somewhat of a hit. He scored 100 of his 104 points while playing Johnny Gaudreau last season and maybe the only Panthers player he could’ve played [...]
Things are looking up for Elias Lindholm. Despite losing 2/3s of arguably the best line in hockey last year, getting Jonathan Huberdeau and his 85 assists from a season ago as a consolation prize isn’t too bad. A top unit of Huberdeau/Lindholm/Tyler Toffoli should still be very fruitful for the Calgary Flames and there’s a [...]
Now that the dust has somewhat settled on free agency, it’s a good idea to examine the ripple of effect of some of the signings. Everyone likes to talk about what a player’s new team will mean for them and their teammate’s fantasy value, but what about the team they left behind? Take Johnny Gaudreau [...]
If Game 2 of the Battle of Alberta is anything like Game 1, you’ll want to take the over and there should be plenty of opportunities for anytime points from a number of players. Out East, the Carolina Hurricanes and New York Rangers don’t figure to light the lamp as often as their Western counterparts, [...]
There’s nothing like an elimination game in the Stanley Cup playoffs and Friday will offer three contests where teams will have to win or go home. That also means the spotlight will be on a number of players to deliver clutch performances to keep their seasons alive, or advance to the next round. Here are [...]
If you’re fortunate enough to still be alive in your fantasy hockey playoffs, make sure to do a thorough check of your waiver wire. Desperate GMs could have offloaded players that wouldn’t normally get dropped and those teams still playing can take advantage. One such name to look out for is Evgeni Malkin who is [...]
It sounds weird to say, but Sidney Crosby is quietly having a tremendous season. Maybe it’s just because we’ve come to expect such greatness from the Pittsburgh Penguins superstar that 22 points in his past 15 games doesn’t make a ton of headlines. Crosby is actually on an 89-point pace this season if he played [...]
I can’t remember a season with so many teams having schedules this thin to start the year. The Colorado Avalanche are in the midst of their second of three weeks where they play just two games and the New York Islanders have only one game this week for the second time this year. There are [...]
We’ve officially hit that point in the season where fantasy hockey GMs are starting to get frustrated with underperforming players. Whether it’s Marc-Andre Fleury, Mitch Marner or Roope Hintz, now may be the time where fellow GMs are willing to accept a bargain offer for a player that is really struggling. The key is targeting [...]
