It is always amusing how every year fantasy hockey players jump on the bandwagon of the defending Stanley Cup Champions.

It mattered little that Anaheim finished just five points ahead of Dallas. They were going to hammer them four straight.

 

 

 

 

The regular season is complete and fans are starting their playoff drafts. Here are some more players who are at the bottom of everybody’s list (if they even appear at all) you should take a flyer on in the later rounds:

The last four Calgary games have not been pretty for Kristian Huselius owners. After averaging less than seven minutes of ice time in the previous three games, Huselius found himself watching from the press box as a healthy scratch for Tuesday’s game against the Canucks.

A year ago, the DobberHockey Crew went 12-3 with our playoff picks as a group. Individually, Jim Gunther, who wrote Sticks and Stones at the time, was tops at 11-4. Matt Bugg was the only one to say Anaheim would win in four, Gunther said in six – it wound up being five. Everyone on the panel had a winning record, but the worst prognosticator was (gulp) myself going just 8-7.

There has been much ado about the way defenseman Brian Campbell has turned around the San Jose Sharks since his arrival at the trade deadline. Patrick Marleau has 14 points in the 16 games since February 26. Jonathan Cheechoo, prior to his neck injury, has been showing signs of shaking a season-long slump. Superstar Joe Thornton has also seen a boost in his numbers, tallying 20 points with Campbell in the lineup. But one player seldom mentioned in the mainstream media should be on your keeper-league radar and he also makes an excellent dark horse for your postseason pools.
