Ben and Lewis take you into the All-Star break with the latest headlines and add/drop advice for the long fantasy week 16. The guys discuss Marchment's outburst, Samsonov's opportunity, and Mrazek's viability. After a stop on the Islander's blue line, they finish with three adds and three drops to prepare for next week.
In this week's Eastern Edge, we'll look at each team’s most disappointing fantasy player at the halfway mark. Not all teams have a clear-cut candidate for this list, so hopefully you’ll forgive me for grasping at straws in certain cases. Some teams also have more than one, so we had to cut down in other [...]
Welcome back to the latest iteration of Lining Up. With the upcoming All-Star weekend, the next few weeks are going to be thrown into a state of flux with some teams making up games while others taking it easy for the majority of the time. Be sure to take a look at the Schedule Planner [...]
With Brian taking a well-deserved week off Elan is joined by legendary fantasy projector Scott Cullen to go over all of the fantasy headlines from the last week of NHL action

Well, it didn’t take Evander Kane long to make an impact with the Oilers (and hopefully your fantasy team)! As mentioned in my article last week, we are quickly approaching the NHL All-Star Game weekend and subsequent break. This has a pretty big impact on fantasy hockey leagues of all formats. In roto leagues, you [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we follow hockey prospects and their paths to the NHL, providing fantasy predictions and analysis along the way. At the end of last month, this column did a sink-or-swim article covering Kaapo Kakko, Erik Brannstrom, and Eeli Tolvanen—all young, formerly hyped prospects who seem to be at a crossroads [...]
