The top 2013 prospect for fantasy hockey, Clarkson’s scoring emergence, replacing Karlsson, and more in this week’s Prime Cuts.
Jeff Angus shares his thoughts on the Karlsson injury.
Seth Jones, Nathan MacKinnon, or Jonathan Drouin? Unfortunately, after the Erik Karlsson
injury yesterday, that question will start getting asked more and more in Ottawa.
The Senators were able to weather the Jason Spezza injury (the offense struggled, but they were competitive in most of the games they played in after Spezza was placed on the injured reserve), but they won’t be able to replace Erik Karlsson.
What can poolies expect from Ottawa players for the rest of the season?

Ma tells you what to do with your players - better listen up!
The 2012-13 fantasy campaign has certainly thrown poolies a few curveballs. In a shortened 48-game season, there’s no time to dilly dally or sit and wait to make a decision. Every week that you sit on a decision, you’re essentially burning close to 10 percent of the fantasy season. If you’re after a league title, decisions need to be made promptly! This week we’ll look at a couple of slow and hot starters and my thoughts on what you should do with them.
I have been looking forward to publishing this piece for a while. Selecting Canada’s roster for any international hockey competition is never an easy task. There were a number of quality forwards, defensemen, and goaltenders that didn’t make the cut. I made sure to cover the “why” for each selection and omission. There may be a surprise or two as well....

This week, I take a look at Alex Killorn, Joe Morrow, Jordan Schroeder's great play in Vancouver, Nazem Kadri's surprising physical presence, and more.
Jason Farris, author of Behind the Moves, and currently a member of the front office for the Dallas Stars, has written a number of hockey books. Behind the Moves, a book I reviewed last fall, presents the reader with an in-depth look at the history and current status of hockey’s general managers. One of Jason’s first books, Hail Cesare!, describes the evolution of goaltending in the 1960’s and 70’s through the eyes and mask of goaltender Cesare Maniago.
The worst mistake losing poolies can make down the stretch is to tune out their teams entirely.
The Dean’s List has already previewed the top offensive forwards available for the upcoming 2012 NHL draft class and your fantasy prospect drafts but now it is time to turn our focus to a few player names creeping up the ranks. Examine the past draft boards two, three or four years later and you will certainly find a few names that leave you asking, “how was that player not selected higher?”
The list contains several current NHL star players highlighted by Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf, Claude Giroux, Shea Weber, Paul Statsny and Milan Lucic to name a few. The 2012 draft class will be no different and it’s important to introduce the readers to potential names that could be occupying future fantasy rosters in the near future. Lets face it, only a select few will have the opportunity to draft the Yakupovs, Grigorenkos, Dumbas and Galchenyuks in your upcoming fantasy drafts, so in Beyond the Elite Names (Part 1) TDL familiarizes the readers with talented players not receiving enough attention but should still become fantasy relevant.

Spring is upon us!
