Marty Turco

 

Marty Turco is a popular topic of discussion when it comes to fantasy hockey goaltending and that doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon. There have been some beefy rumors of a trade involvingTurco and Martin St. Louis milling around lately, which has only added fuel to this fire. But despite the fact he has been one of the best regular season goalies in the league for more than five seasons, until he wins a playoff series debates will always exist regarding whether or not he’s a giant underachiever or a playoff hero ready to break out. But Turco is proving by his recent actions and play that he’s no overrated goalie and things will be much, much different this spring.

With the NHL's trading deadline rapidly approaching, I thought it would be interesting to check out who has played for the most NHL teams. There is one guy who stands above the rest. He's been traded an unbelievable ten times and played for an NHL record 12 different teams during his 16-year career. He was taken 11th overall by Detroit in the 1989 entry draft.

A Capitals star not named Alex

Nicklas Backstrom

 

With all the hype that accompanied Nicklas Backstrom prior to the season, it was surprising to see how many roto-league owners bailed on him so early in the year. Even some keeper-league owners had an itchy trigger finger.

He’s 20 years old and was hyped as a Calder Trophy candidate in the summer. He started off with nine points in 21 games and poolies figured he was stuck on the third line for the entire season.

Not so.
