Let’s not kid ourselves - no one thinks the majority of UFAs will be worth what they’re going to be paid.

As expected, we are down to just one game per day, or less, for the remainder of the NHL playoffs. Don’t fret though, as the fantasy sites have a format for this occasion and will continue to post contests up until the final horn sounds on the 2022-2023 season. A unique format that I haven’t [...]
