Fantasy Hockey Top 10

One thing to keep in mind during your fantasy draft and then throughout the season is that you always want to target players who are getting plenty of power-play time. After all, most leagues count power-play points as a category, but even in points-only pools, many players can get a boost by playing top minutes [...]

Every year, the NHL season is full of surprises. I'm not talking about the "this-player-outperformed-expectations-by-15-points" kind of surprise, but "William-Karlsson-had-more-goals-than-all-but-two-players-in-2017-18" type of jaw-dropping surprise. Some of these stats may be evident, whereas others you may not realize are happening unless you look more closely at the numbers. It could be one player is having a [...]

One of the more frustrating aspects of cap fantasy leagues is when one of your players signs a contract that is an overpayment as soon as it is signed. Most of these contracts are serviceable enough in your league, but any player making at least $10 million deserves a long look at whether they are [...]

Today is the NHL trade deadline, but many fantasy leagues have already seen their deadlines come and go. If you want to improve your squad at this stage of the fantasy season, all you're stuck with is the waiver wire. Of course, the deeper your league, the tougher it is to find productive players. Which [...]

The NHL trade deadline is a week away, and this will be a time of year when even the most pessimistic fantasy general manager can get swept up in the emotion of it all.  Any time a player gets dealt around trade deadline day, the value of that traded player increases in fantasy circles. Which [...]

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 [...]

Twitter isn't the only place where hockey players can be trending. Too often, we look at hot/cold streaks from a perspective of points only. 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 [...]

One of the big talking points heading into the NHL's all-star season is the list of snubs. While some will put together a list of fantasy all-stars, many of the names mimic the NHL. You don't have to be a genius to figure out the Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews would be fantasy all-stars. Obviously, [...]
