March Madness is in the air and for most of you that means fantasy league playoffs start in just a few short weeks. That being said, the chaotic mayhem known as “jockeying for position” has taken over the lands. Leashes are the shortest ever as drastic times call for drastic measures. Do you need one last miracle acquisition to push you into the post-season? Do you need one more piece of trade bait in order to land the big fish you’ve been seeking all year?

The NHL trade deadline is fast approaching, which means that your keeper league trade deadline is doing the same. It is around this time in the season that you must make the tough decision of deciding whether to go for it this year, or to sell off some assets and build for the future. If you are not in a position to win right now, moving proven, veteran talent for young, unproven talent is the way to go. Building at the deadline is extremely crucial to any future fantasy successes, and it helps to have information on some young players who may not be getting the acclaim and press that they deserve. These players are often referred to as “sleepers” or “darkhorses.” Whatever you want to call them, they often are the difference between winning and losing.

Boy, it sure is tough to find a goalie that can play so many games down the stretch and still produce dazzling consistent performances.

Dans les pools de hockey, un joueur qui change d’équipe est souvent positif pour son propriétaire dans les pools. Un nouveau départ ou une place à côté d’une vedette sur un trio – ou les deux – est souvent le remède pour un joueur en pleine léthargie. Dans la Conférence de l’Ouest, en date de samedi, huit points séparaient la quatrième et la cinquième place…et neuf points séparaient la cinquième place et la quinzième place. Alors qu’il serait difficile à prévoir quelles équipes seront des acheteurs et quelles équipes vont vendre dans l’Ouest, nous allons débuter par la Conférence de l’Est.

Last June I wrote this piece on my ideas for the Canadian Olympic roster for the 2010 Games in Vancouver. Yesterday's debut of Pierre McGuire's roster picks inspired me to update my selections. Over the past nine months quite a bit has changed, and my updated roster will reflect that.

It's been a long time boys. DobberBaseball and the 2009 Fantasy Guide have consumed me for the last two months. No longer. It is time to get back to basics. Time to go retro. It's time The Status Report returns to hockey.
