  Last week we took a look at some top options in the net for fantasy managers in 2017-18. Beyond the five covered though there are still plenty of quality options that deserve their nod of appreciation. To continue the trend this week we look to another five in net that are helping fantasy squads [...]

  If anything seems to ever impede what is a juggernaut of a fantasy squad from winning a title, it’s satisfactory goaltending. Many a team has fallen when it matters most in the playoffs because their goaltending just was not sufficient enough to capture those all too important categories. In many leagues like some of [...]

  The first time I ever wrote for this website some time ago, I did a piece on the advantages of owning linemates on your fantasy hockey squad. Owning the likes of Tyler Seguin/Jamie Benn, P.K. Subban/Andrei Markov, and Claude Giroux/Jakub Voracek across several seasons past, I was fortunate to go on and have success [...]

As the season progresses into the second quarter some of these players though not all thankfully rekindle their scoring touch and go forth to [...]

  Currently in one of my leagues my infirmary consists of Jeff Carter, Bo Horvat, Ryan Getzlaf, David Perron, Cam Talbot, and Mika Zibanejad. It is fair to say the injury bug is bending me over and having its way with me. If you find yourself in this predicament you’re more than likely looking for [...]

  Over the course of the past few seasons we’ve seen the transition into a new era as far as player personnel and style of play across the league. A normal process in time with Crosby turning 30, the arrival of Jack Eichel, Auston Matthews, and Connor McDavid and the New Jersey Devils contending for [...]
