The Journey: Prospects on the Cusp
A few weeks ago I highlighted a few players that scored their first NHL. But that doesn’t happen without getting into your first NHL game. None of these players have achieved that feat yet but if they keep going the way they are that will come to an end, perhaps sooner rather than later. [...]
Saturday Night Special: NHL DFS Picks – December 9
Top Budget Plays Centers Christian Dvorak $3300 – The center is a decent play at the least. However, playing against the Columbus Blue Jackets may set up very good as the center will draw depth Columbus match-ups which are below Corsi relative. He is going to get decent opportunities. Dvorak is playing more minutes and [...]
Saturday’s NHL Game Picks – December 9
I had a pretty decent week going 10-4, combined with a solid fantasy week where I have closed the gap in my salary keeper league to 6 points (it was over 30+ at one point). Things are finally starting to settle in, and it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas (sorry, but I had [...]
Ramblings: The Postman Delivers But The Breadman Assists; Wilson On Fire – December 9
It was the Artemi Panarin show in Newark on Friday night. After his team fell behind 2-0 on goals from Marcus Johansson and Brian Boyle, Panarin had three primary assists on three second-period goals for Columbus. The prettiest of the three was probably on Scott Harrington’s goal where Panarin finds him as the trailer through [...]
Marian Gaborik Can Help You In The Weeks Ahead
All fantasy owners need help in the short term AND the long term. The Looking Ahead feature identifies one player to plug into lineups in the short term, a second to invest in for the long term, a third to bench for the coming week, and a fourth who will struggle to meet expectations [...]
Six Stopgap Options For Your Fantasy League
Currently in one of my leagues my infirmary consists of Jeff Carter, Bo Horvat, Ryan Getzlaf, David Perron, Cam Talbot, and Mika Zibanejad. It is fair to say the injury bug is bending me over and having its way with me. If you find yourself in this predicament you’re more than likely looking for [...]
Ramblings: Brent Burnt, No Longer! (Dec 8)
I’d be more concerned if the Blues weren’t running over people, but we should probably discuss the changing situation on the St. Louis power play. After a couple of games of running Vladimir Tarasenko on both units, he was pushed exclusively to the second unit last night. Except, whichever unit Tank is on is [...]
Capped: Over-Appreciated Spending
This week's Capped covers some names who are underperforming compared to their cap hit, determining who is in a slump and who may be overvalued. **** Some managers are getting pretty desperate to save their fantasy seasons at this point, and there are varying degrees of panic. If you are one of those managers, [...]
Ramblings: Thoughts on Erik Karlsson, Draisaitl, Saad, Wilson and more (Dec 7)
My big pickup for this week was Tom Wilson, which has worked out better than I could have imagined. The power forward is enjoying his time on the top line with Nicklas Backstrom and Alexander Ovechkin. He put up a four-point night along with four PIM, three SOG, two hits and two blocked shots. [...]
