Narrowing the Gap

Nicklas Backstrom

 

In most preseason fantasy guides, Washington’s Nicklas Backstrom was predicted to be the top-scoring rookie this season. As Chicago’s Patrick Kane started piling up the points, that opinion quickly changed. For a while there, it looked to be a two-man race between teammates Kane and Jonathan Toews.

Not so fast.

It’s easy for a fantasy owner to determine which players are ‘buy low’ candidates – usually, players on his or her own team qualify. The ‘sell high’ players, well, that one’s more difficult.

The Goalie Conundrum

Marty Turco

 

More than any other year in recent memory, the goaltending picture from a fantasy standpoint has been cloudier than ever. The usual suspects – Martin Brodeur, Roberto Luongo and Miikka Kiprusoff – aren’t in the top 10 in any major goaltending category (well, Kipper is tied for ninth in wins, but you catch my drift). This has turned a lot of fantasy leagues upside down.

Suddenly, owners of Pascal Leclaire and Martin Biron hold the bragging rights.

Ovechkin

 

You see it practically every time a coach gets the pink slip. Heck, you saw it six games into the season when Atlanta fired coach Bob Hartley.

The team gets hot and the slumping stars go on a tear.

The best keeper-league (and roto-league) owners don’t get that way by stubbornly sticking to their opinions for too long, despite evidence that they were clearly on the wrong track. No, the really good ones know when it’s time to change gears and roll with the trends. At the same time, they need to balance what truly is a contradicting trend with events that are just ‘hot streaks’.
