Welcome to the first mailbag of 2021 and, accordingly, of the 2020-21 season. For new readers, this is a column where I answer your fantasy hockey questions while also giving advice that should be useful to all poolies even if they don’t own the specific players being discussed.

Many years ago, Dobber coined the term Band-Aid Boy to refer to a player who seems to find a way to get injured most every year, wreaking havoc on countless fantasy teams in the process.
