Grant Campbell breaks down the latest fantasy information from the Western Conference – the streaks, the slumps, the line combinations and much more.
We looked at some of the early MVPs and MDPs from each team in the West on November 8 and now that we are at the midseason mark, I thought we could revisit and see what players have emerged or continued their fine year or vice versa. Anaheim MVP: Troy Terry (Ryan Getzlaf was the [...]
I’ve seen a fair share of graphs over the years that depict a decline in play from most players after a certain age, or a certain amount of games. I thought I would look at it myself as a little project and ended up losing myself down a bit of a rabbit hole. Alex Ovechkin, [...]
We did a similar column last season, but I thought we would look at each category this time instead of by the team. All shots are not equal and this kind of analysis is focused on the bigger picture and the philosophy that you can’t score if you don’t shoot. All stats are taken from [...]
Happy New Year to everyone! With this column, I will piggyback from Brennan Des’s Eastern Edge column from last week and focus on some players from each team for the regular season calendar year of 2021 and see if there are some interesting takeaways. Anaheim Ducks For the 2021 calendar year, Troy Terry led the [...]
I wrote a column about goalies in the West in early November here and thought I would re-visit how each team’s goalies did in December and how the splits are trending compared to then. There have been some big swings on some teams due to injuries and/or performance. Hopefully, games will be back on the [...]
Some of the names in lineups might not be recognizable during a few of the games from this past week as teams have been forced to scramble and get a few AHL players signed under NHL deals to allow them to play. I’m sure this has played havoc with most fantasy pools. This week I’m [...]
The NHL trade deadline is March 21st, 2022, but it is never too early to look at some trade targets in mid-December. I’m going to focus on the one or two players per team that might be available or sought after by other teams. These players might not be dealt before the deadline, but the [...]
We will look at a few players in the West that had very good Octobers but have fallen off a little since or vice versa, with poor Octobers and done well since. Some of these players are reverting to where they should be in terms of historical production, but others are pushing for career highs. [...]
Teams are always looking for the next French Connection or West Coast Express. Once players have success and chemistry playing together, it makes things so much easier for the coach. Here are some of the top lines in the West and a look at some interesting line combinations as well. To put things in perspective [...]
Teams have played between 15 and 19 games so far, so we have a pretty good sample pool of stats to go through. I’m going to focus on some players in the West that if you have on a fantasy team, I would look to sell at their highest value. These players will more than [...]
