Fantasy Hockey Top 10

  The end of the regular season doesn’t mean it’s the end of fantasy hockey. In many ways, it’s just starting. While I love regular season fantasy hockey, playoff fantasy hockey is more special. It’s the one time of year when you get interest from regular joes who don’t normally participate in fantasy sports. There’s [...]

Every year, no matter how much we prepare for drafts, read all the experts’ opinions, and do up our own point projections, there are always plenty of players who put up jaw-dropping seasons that no one saw coming. This year, those jaw-dropping seasons seem more extreme. With scoring on the rise, there are numerous players [...]

I’ve hinted around at this for the past few weeks, but there are a lot of players in keeper pools whose values are overlooked simply because of their age. When many fantasy general managers have given up on a season and are looking to next year, they have a tendency to focus on youth for [...]

  It’s always a little annoying to own a Band-Aid player, but at least you can plan for that. You take into consideration that players like Evgeni Malkin and Taylor Hall are going to miss some time. When they don’t, you get seasons like this year. It’s even more frustrating when you own a player [...]

Many head-to-head leagues are about to start their fantasy hockey playoffs this week. And while it’s too late to make trades in most leagues, there’s still moves you can make to put yourself in a better spot for a championship.

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 [...]
