Roos takes a look at the fantasy value of bought-out players

Over the next few weeks a lot of attention will be paid to the high profile signings, trades, and draft picks that teams make. And rightfully so – they’ll all have a huge impact on fantasy hockey leagues now and down the road. But you need to make sure not to overlook the compliance buyouts that will occur as well (the deadline for 2013 is July 4th), and the effect they’ll also have on fantasy hockey.

Taking a look at some point totals that are somewhat deceiving

Even if you look closely at a group of players who all scored roughly the same number of points in a season, chances are each guy could’ve had a somewhat different overall impact on your team. Of course the key is finding the best guy among a group of apparently similar players, as that can often makes the difference between winning and losing in fantasy hockey.

With that in mind, I’ll look at several groups of players who had similar point totals in 2012-13, to see if there were any standouts (good or bad) once you dig a little bit deeper beyond just how many points they scored. I’ll highlight some interesting trends within my discussion of each group, and finish with some key overall takeaways in my Final Verdict.
