Ilya Kovalchuk Stays in New Jersey!
Fantasy Analysis: The Devils have re-signed Ilya Kovalchuk, with details to trickle out as Tuesday's press conference approaches. The move is a shocker, as Kovalchuk was rumored to be quite close with Los Angeles.
Angus Audits Your Team: Thai Sticks
Today I'll take a look at a team in a league with some complex scoring categories and rules.
A Skill-Filled Danish
We all enjoy trying to find the next great sleeper in fantasy hockey. Every year there are at least a half dozen players who rise from relative obscurity to NHL (and fantasy hockey) stardom. How many of you can say that you expected Craig Anderson to be one of hockey’s best goaltenders in 2009-10? How many saw Patric Hornqvist score 30 goals, 15 times his goal output in 2008-09?
I will be profiling many of my favourite sleeper picks in the DobberHockey Fantasy Guide. (Out August 1st, in case you haven’t heard!) I have decided to share my (unofficial) favourite sleeper for the 2010-11 season with you all today. Peter Regin, Ottawa’s 3rd round draft selection from way back in 2004, played three full seasons in the SEL before making the trip over to North America. His first season in North America saw him record 47 points in 56 games for the Binghamton Senators. Regin only scored once in 11 games at the NHL that season, and he was considered an afterthought in Ottawa Senators heading in to the 2009-10 season.
Angus Audits Your Team: London Aviators
Another simple audit. Points-only, no goalies. Some interesting keeper questions, including the likes of Frolik, Vanek, Gagner, Wolski, and Derek Roy. Thanks to DobberHockey reader Andy for sending this one in.
Angus Audits Your Team: Kinnaird Krunks
A pretty straightforward audit - helping to pick keepers as the 2010-11 season approaches. Niclas Bergfors or Michael Frolik? Erik Johnson or a forward? DobberHockey reader Jarret wanted some help, and I was glad to oblige him!
Angus Audits Your Team: The Penguins
DobberHockey reader Justin sent me his team to be audited. Upon first glance, I wondered why he was asking about the likes of Nigel Williams and Keith Aucoin, until I saw the size of rosters in this league (60). I find a bench of five or six is more than sufficient, so needless to say this was an interesting audit to conduct.
The Anatomy of a Trade
I have found it difficult to make trades in my own fantasy hockey leagues since joining the DobberHockey crew full-time over two years ago. I share my thoughts on sleepers, overrated players, and my favourite players/prospects with all of you on a daily basis. When I propose a trade in any of my leagues, my potential trading partner is usually quick to check out the site to see what I have said in the past about the player(s) I am inquiring about.
However, I managed to pull the trigger on a very interesting deal yesterday in my favourite league. It is a head-to-head league with many DobberHockey veterans, and I finished fourth out of 12 last year (my first year in the league after taking over a pretty decent roster).
Earmarked for Success (East 2010): Part One
Russ is on hiatus for the summer, so I’ll be filling in for him. You Dobberities won’t miss out on half of the information for your fantasy leagues in these series of columns.
I’ll try to keep it the same as the articles from the West. First, I want admit that I’m not as informed about the East as I am with the West, so if there are any controversial items, be sure to make comments at the bottom of the page to open up some discussion.
