Dans les pools de hockey, un joueur qui change d’équipe est souvent positif pour son propriétaire dans les pools. Un nouveau départ ou une place à côté d’une vedette sur un trio – ou les deux – est souvent le remède pour un joueur en pleine léthargie. Dans la Conférence de l’Ouest, en date de samedi, huit points séparaient la quatrième et la cinquième place…et neuf points séparaient la cinquième place et la quinzième place. Alors qu’il serait difficile à prévoir quelles équipes seront des acheteurs et quelles équipes vont vendre dans l’Ouest, nous allons débuter par la Conférence de l’Est.

In fantasy hockey, a player being moved to a new NHL team is often good news for the fantasy owner. A fresh start or a likely shot as a star’s linemate – or both – is just what the doctor ordered for a slumping player. In the Western Conference, as of Saturday, eight points separated fourth and fifth…yet only nine points separated fifth and 15th. Since it’s tough to nail down which teams will be buyers and which teams will be sellers in the West, we’ll take a look at the Eastern Conference first.

Goaltending Prospects – Building a Fantasy Future

It's extremely difficult to predict how fantasy goalie prospects will pan out. The "goalies
are different" philosophy applies to fantasy hockey as much as it does to the locker room. Their development is incredibly unpredictable. Goalies can hit their peak early (Cam Ward at 22), late (Tim Thomas at 30) or not at all (Hannu Toivonen). Unfortunately in most fantasy pool formats, goalies are a crucial subcategory. The rest of your team can be great, but without a decent goalie or two, you simply won't win. If there is one position you should stockpile its good young goalies, because for every Carey Price there is a Dan Blackburn.

Tim Celebrates- AP

It's been a long time boys. DobberBaseball and the 2009 Fantasy Guide have consumed me for the last two months. No longer. It is time to get back to basics. Time to go retro. It's time The Status Report returns to hockey.

This week we'll discuss the intriguing fantasy phenomenon known as Tim Connolly. Value investment or fantasy detriment? At a certain point, this players value will switch from one definition to the other. In addition, a classic conclusion with sell highs, buy lows and other category reports on some of the more notable of the fantasy fringe.
