We now interrupt our regularly scheduled playoff coverage (while we wait for the Final to be decided) to start on one of our traditional offseason series. This week, and for several upcoming weeks, we will be taking a look back over full season data to find out which players provided the most, and best, value [...]

The week we are headed for the third of four playoff series articles. Now that the second round is wrapped let’s dig into our newest eliminated teams. As a quick reminder, the teams that went down in the second round were Edmonton, New Jersey, Toronto, and Seattle. Like the last two articles we are going [...]

With the NHL playoffs fast approaching, many fantasy leagues have ended, and as per usual some odd things are happening with NHL teams. We have teams secured in their spot resting all their key players, we have teams well out of it giving their new young players a chance, and we have teams pushing hard [...]

With a lot of league’s playoffs wrapping up this weekend there isn’t a lot of forward planning to do for now. I wanted to take a moment for what has become an annual tradition over here in Frozen Tools. We are using our regular season stats to look forward to playoff leagues and see if [...]

In our last column we focused on short-term streaks, players that you want to take a look at for your do or die matchups. This week we are going to take the same sort of approach, but in terms of goalies. We will highlight a few teams that have had some changes, take a look [...]

We are very much in the home stretch here. Some leagues have already started playoffs, many begin next week. That means if there are changes to make to your team they need to be made now or there might not be another week to do it. It also means we are way less concerned with [...]
