Fantasy Hockey Top 10

One of the big things about looking back on a season is realizing how wrong we were on some of our assumptions. Of course, it’s hard to admit now. With the benefit of hindsight, we all knew that player was going to break out. We just didn’t draft or trade for that player because of [...]

Even though the trade deadline may be done in most fantasy leagues doesn’t mean you can’t improve your squad for the stretch drive. In leagues with a waiver wire, there are still plenty of good options out there. You just need to be willing to scour the wire to find some of the players who [...]

There are three non-game days in the hockey calendar that every fan looks forward to: Trade deadline day, the draft, and the first day of free agency. Today is the first on that list, and many fantasy hockey leagues also have trade deadlines this week. This is also the time of year when the perceived [...]

The NHL trade deadline is in a week, and with it comes the trade deadline for many fantasy leagues. I’ve always been a big believer that if you have a chance to win the title, you go for it. With many leagues having slim pickings on the waiver wire, making a significant trade could be [...]

  One thing that I try to stress in many of these lists is that for most players, it all comes down to opportunity. Whether it’s players with the potential to hit 70 points for the first time, waiver-wire pickups, bounce-back candidates, rookies that can surprise or whatever, players need that opportunity to be successful. [...]

With all due respect to Cale Makar and Quinn Hughes, it doesn’t feel as if this season’s batch of rookies is doing all that great. Maybe we’ve been spoiled the last few years, but there’s no Mathew Barzal with 85 points, or Auston Matthews with 40 goals, or Elias Pettersson at almost a point-per-game pace. [...]

  I’ve always been a big believer that you can have more success in some keeper pools if you forgo the youth movement and instead focus on the older players. After all, while other fantasy general managers will overpay for rookies and anyone under the age of 25, you can pick up guys in their [...]

  While many of us enjoy points-only fantasy hockey leagues, the real challenge is in multi-cat leagues, especially when looking at statistics such as PIM, blocked shots and hits. That’s because oftentimes, the players that are best in these categories aren’t the point-producing superstars. Sure, it’s easy to know that Nikita Kucherov is going to [...]

  Even if your league doesn’t count power-play points, you should still be looking at that stat and trying to find players who are getting time with the man advantage. After all, and this may sound obvious, but these players are in a better position to succeed and pick up points. Below are 10 players [...]

We’re at the halfway point of the season, and by now, you’ve probably had to deal with some sore points on your roster. Thanks to injuries or a tough season, you’ve had players that are struggling and you’re fed up with waiting for them to finally come through. So, you’ve been scouring the waiver wire [...]
