Hello again my Salary Cap friendlies! I hope everyone had an enjoyable and healthy summer. Now though, the time is fast approaching…fantasy hockey is right around the corner. I’ve heard of leagues out there that have already had their draft, with some even taking place back into August. If you’re one of those leagues, I’d [...]
Welcome back to the only poll I’ve run every single year since I transitioned to the Roos Lets Loose column format. It’s an important poll, because the goalie position is so key and there are always a number of teams with projected goalie shares or likely 1A/1B situations. The poll is based entirely on the [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll discuss why Jake Guentzel and Joonas Korpisalo are players you want on your fantasy team this year. Jake Guentzel Guentzel has hovered around a 40-goal, point-per-game pace in each of the last five years but based on where he’s going in fantasy drafts right now, I don’t think that [...]
Free hockey pool player boxes, for those who would like to run simple pools at the office... Every year in April (for the NHL playoffs) and to kick off September (for the regular season) I group players into comparable boxes and post them online for people to enjoy for free. Whether it's for the office [...]
With Gabriel Landeskog set to miss the entire 2023-24 season, Colorado has spent their offseason filling out their middle-6 forward spots. They signed Miles Wood, they traded for Ross Colton and Ryan Johansen, and they signed Nathan MacKinnon’s junior hockey running mate, Jonathan Drouin. Even still, there was room for more depth, and they did [...]
In this episode Elan is joined by Fantasy Hockey Life and Dobber Prospect Report's prospect expert Victor Nuño to talk about all of the players in the running for the 2023/24 Calder award for rookie fo the year.
I thought I would look at each team in the West and see what the ceiling was for fantasy for points, goals, shots on goal and hits. There are some teams who top out at 30 goals, 60 points, 200 SOG and 150 hits, while others 60 goals, 150 points, 350 SOG and 325 hits. [...]
As the popular expression goes, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. All too often, fantasy general managers can be found to be the fools, trusting players to bounce back to heights that are normally too high to begin with. We have seen this with Mathew Barzal for the past [...]

Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. *** John Klingberg (now with TOR) is an out-of-control power play thief. Everywhere he goes, he blocks young defensemen from getting well-deserved power play time. First it was Miro Heiskanen (DAL), [...]
