While many of you are still gunning for a championship, there are a few who have already waved the white flag on any hopes for a title this year. However, that doesn't mean your season is finished. After all, you have to work on rebuilding your squad for next year. Depending on the makeup of [...]
Even though the NHL trade deadline isn't for another three weeks, many fantasy leagues have already seen their own trade deadlines pass. The trade deadline was this past Saturday in one of my dynasty leagues. In another one of my keeper leagues, deals are allowed until the Sunday after the NHL trade deadline. If your [...]
A good power play can make all the difference in the NHL, but also with your fantasy squad. A player one year might have 70 points, with 20 of them coming on the power-play. If that same player struggles with the man advantage the following season and finishes with five power-play points, he might drop [...]

While there are some of those on this list, there are always other trends and streaks you should be aware of. You need to know who is doing much better than [...]

Opportunities can come in many forms, but for this list, we're looking at players who are getting their chance on the power play. Remember, not everyone getting power-play time will be successful, but they are at least worth keeping an [...]
All too often, fantasy hockey general managers are eager to give up on players after one or two poor seasons. Truthfully, the giving up happens much quicker than that. A bad week or a horrendous month is enough to convince a general manager that a player sucks and it's time to get rid of the [...]
Covid has clearly done a number on many fantasy leagues. While some fantasy commissioners have decided to pause their leagues during these few weeks, they are in the minority. Most leagues are going ahead as normal, but that means there are plenty of open spaces on rosters as there were about 75 players on the [...]
Scoring is up in the first few games since Christmas, but that shouldn't have been much of a surprise. With numerous games postponed, many teams had at least a week off, which gave players the chance to rest up. It is almost like a new start to the season as players seem refreshed and full [...]
