Fantasy Hockey Top 10

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 [...]

  Ah, cap leagues. The place where your dream of being able to run a successful NHL franchise goes to die. See, we all think we could be an NHL general manager, but we can’t even help ourselves when it comes to our fantasy squads. Some of us will draft or trade for overpriced players, [...]

    There’s always some sort of grief, or maybe anger, when it comes time to drop a player that you had drafted with high expectations.   After all, once you drop that player, that asset is gone. Obviously, it’s always better exporting a trade, but most times, especially in one-year pools, you just won’t [...]

The 12th-round pick giving the same value as a third-round pick will usually win you the championships. Of course, this early in the season, there’s [...]

  Goaltenders are easily the most important position in fantasy hockey. You can dress 10 forwards, six defensemen and two goalies, and no matter how good your forwards and defensemen are, you could still be losing your matchup week after week if your netminders are weak.
