An Offseason of Decisions

Thanks to a few well-timed strong finishers, my undermanned team (The Crosby Show) in an extremely competitive head-to-head keeper league managed a second place finish after the playoffs. As you can probably tell from my team name, Sidney Crosby was my star. This league counts standard categories (goals, hits penalty minutes, and so on), and over the past few seasons we have added a few more (faceoff wins and hits).

 

Over the past few weeks I have been formulating a plan for my team this summer. I’ve decided to share it with you, even though every single one of my competitors reads this site (in fact one of them is even a fellow columnist). Why? I’d like to think it is because I am such a nice guy, but I am also looking for feedback and your opinion as to how I should approach the summer ahead.

Krejci

 

Hey gang, sorry for the lack of Cage Match articles the past couple of weeks. Unfortunately duty calls and I was called away to fight some cage matches of my own taking on formidable opponents such as forest fires, Yogi Bear, and fantasy hockey withdrawal. It was arduous (particularly the latter) but I survived and now that I’ve had my first bear encounter I feel comfortable bringing you this week’s Cage Match – Krejci vs. Bergeron. That’s right, it’s a bear fight!

 

Good Players, Bad Teams

In deeper fantasy leagues many find themselves facing a difficult choice of who to select in later rounds. Typically I would look to a third line player on a strong team like Detroit or Vancouver to provide some offense and maybe boost my plus/minus. Lately however, I have been trying to buck that trend and look outside the box when it comes to the depth of my roster.

Another day, another prospect discovered. This is the trend heading into the summer again, as the market for the $4 or $5 million-a-year superstar begins with Tomas Vokoun and ends with Ilya Bryzgalov. So as general managers continue to try getting the most bang for their buck in goal, now more than ever before, tracking prospects is vital to successfully managing your fantasy keeper team.

 

A Work In Progress: Luke Adam

Adam

 

Just after the Anaheim Ducks selected Justin Schultz in the second round of the 2008 Entry Draft, the Buffalo Sabres selected Luke Adam. Their first-round selection from that draft, Tyler Ennis, would capture the Red Garrett Award (AHL Rookie of the Year) in 2009-10 and just this past season, Luke Adam would capture the award as well. With Gerbe taking the award in 2008-09, the Sabres have had a prospect win the honor in three consecutive years and four of the past 11 years (Mika Noronen in 99-00). While fantasy owners have been well educated on Ennis and Gerbe, they might not know as much about Luke Adam.
