Fantasy Hockey Top 10

The NHL is not the only league to have a trade deadline this week. Deadlines for the majority of fantasy leagues are either today or later this week. Not only is this your last chance to make your squad better for a championship run, it’s also a good time to cheaply pick up players that [...]

With one week until the NHL trade deadline, it’s important to remember that some of the best moves are the smallest ones. Last year, we saw Sven Andrighetto have surprisingly great success once he was dealt to Colorado, while Patrick Eaves continued with his career year in Anaheim by notching 11 goals in 20 games. [...]

With two weeks left until the NHL trade deadline, this is a good opportunity to look at your fantasy roster and see whose value will soon be artificially inflated. Players who are dealt get an immediate boost in trade value as many fantasy general managers believe a new start can only benefit the players involved. [...]

There’s nothing more agonizing in hockey than watching a player of yours go on an extended cold streak. A few games is fine, as it might only cost you a single matchup in weekly head-to-head leagues. But a cold streak that lasts for 10 or more games can lead to some panic moves. Below are [...]

One of the tricks to winning a fantasy league is picking a guy on hot streaks and running with them until they cool off. This could include grabbing a hot player off the waiver wire, or making sure you have him in your lineup if he’s already on your roster. It’s pretty easy to know [...]

With the NHL all-star game this coming weekend, this would be a good time to have a look at who the fantasy all-stars would be. That list would be too obvious, and be made up with a bunch of players from the Western conference and the Tampa Bay Lightning. So I thought it would be [...]

Dick Clark once said “I don't set trends. I just find out what they are and exploit them.” While he may not have been talking about fantasy hockey, exploiting trends is a good way to give your squad at least a short-term gain as it can give you an idea on who is hot, cold [...]

A key to a successful NHL squad is a good power play. One could argue the same holds true for fantasy squads as well. Many leagues count power play points in some capacity, but even general managers of points-only leagues should pay attention to the stat. It’s the difference between a 60-point Brad Marchand and [...]

Happy New Year Dobber-heads. 2017 couldn’t have come to an end fast enough for some NHLers. It’s been a tough year for many players. That also meant a tough year for fantasy general managers as there were plenty of guys who stunk up the rink for the full 12 months. Below are 10 players that [...]

Merry Christmas Dobber-heads! I thought it would be fun for today’s list to look at what players would have made the best gifts over the past few 12 months. Obviously, superstars like Connor McDavid, Erik Karlsson and Sidney Crosby are tops. But the same as on Christmas morning, the best gifts are the ones you [...]
