Fantasy Hockey Top 10

Sometimes it’s tough in fantasy hockey to know what to do with top players when they struggle. Players you draft in the 15th round are easy drops if they are struggling.

With the NHL officially announcing the start of hockey on Jan. 13, many fantasy general managers are scrambling to play catch up with hockey news they may have missed over the last few months.
