Fantasy Hockey Top 10

Now that we're done with the first half of the season, this is a good time to look at those underachieving players who you hope can turn it around in the second half. After all, not all players who struggle will do so all year. Last year, we saw J.T. Miller show up on disappointing [...]

Happy New Year everyone! It’s a time of rejuvenation and hope and an excellent time for a fresh start. In today’s Top 10 article, I will be discussing 10 players who will be better in 2024 than they were in 2023. These players are all due for a bounce back in my estimation so without [...]

Any time the calendar flips over to a new year, it's always fun to look back at some of the best fantasy performances from the previous year. Maybe the craziest thing about 2023 is that there weren't many awesome fantasy performances compared to 2022. There wasn't a Tage Thompson-type game, where he scored four goals [...]

No matter how much you plan, who you draft, or who you trade for, at some point in the season, your players will go through cold streaks.  If it's a streaming player that you only picked up during a hot streak, you drop them as soon as they have two or three pointless games. For [...]

All too often, the focus in fantasy hockey is on the big-name players. But it's often the lesser-known players that can give your team that extra little boost in your quest for a championship. You don't need to be a fantasy hockey genius to recognize top players having a good year; all you need to [...]

As much reading, researching and studying a fantasy general manager may conduct into potential breakouts, a player's success can often come down to one word: Opportunity.  A player with the chance to play in a top-six role or on the top power-play unit will generally be more successful than those who don't get the same [...]

One of the biggest traps newer fantasy general managers fall into is to not take advantage of the waiver wire.  I'm in one roto league where the GM in last place has only used two moves all season. It's almost like he's allergic to the waiver wire. While I wouldn't recommend this GM drop struggling [...]

With a few exceptions, zero is not a number you want to see in fantasy hockey. Aside from a shutout from your starting netminder, seeing a zero pretty much means that your players are not performing.  Maybe you're accepting of a few zeros if it's just one game. Maybe you're tolerant if it's a week [...]
