As per tradition, it's the Keeping Karlsson Hockey Podcast's annual Fantasy Hockey League Design episode! Points or categories? Head to head or Rotisserie? What categories should count? What should rosters look like? How many transactions should be allowed? How can you handle bad trades? What's the best type of draft? Elan and Brian weigh the pros and cons for each of these league design choices and more, ultimately sharing their thought process and rationales for the setup of the Keeping Karlsson Ultimate Patron Fantasy League's (lovingly known and referred to as the KKUPFL) 2018-19 season.

You can now pre-order the world's first audio NHL fantasy guide! The Keeping Karlsson 2018-19 NHL Audio Almanac boasts 31 chapters, 20+ hours of content, and all of Elan and Brian's analyses and projections for each team's fantasy relevant players this upcoming season.
