Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Instead of there being three bowls of porridge though, I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a third [...]
In the last bit of the NHL offseason before we start to get real news, real lines, and actual games I figured I would do a preliminary run-through of all of the top-100 players of so, and how I’m feeling about drafting them to begin sorting out my rankings for the year. I’m going to [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll discuss a few players to avoid because of their high ADPs (average draft positions) in upcoming fantasy drafts. Keep in mind, Yahoo’s ADPs aren’t the most accurate at this point in the offseason. As a result, we won’t pay too much attention to the ADP itself, but we’ll use [...]
Just as the Eastern Conference saw many teams add key players over the off-season, the Western half of the NHL isn’t looking like the same 16 teams that started out last season. 2021 saw the Colorado Avalanche win Lord Stanley’s Cup, Connor McDavid’s team (finally) win two playoff rounds, and the Vegas Golden Knights miss [...]
This is the last week before training camps start, though there are rookie camps that will be happening all week long across the league. For anyone that even pays cursory attention to social media for hockey clips and information, it is probably worth taking a bit of time about what we should look for in [...]
The Colorado Avalanche have signed versatile forward Evan Rodrigues to a one-year contract worth $2M. The Avs get: a solid middle-sixer who can slot in at any forward position. Rodrigues truly flourished with the Penguins last season when both Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin were injured. Once they returned, the dynamic changed. And even with [...]

As Brennan Des looked at the different tiers of goaltending in the Eastern Conference last week, we will do the same for the Western Conference this week. Just a reminder that these tiers are subjective and meant as a guide to help you for fantasy purposes, not necessarily the level of skill of each goalie. [...]
Hope and optimism are great things to have in fantasy hockey, but a healthy dose of realism can go a long way to ensuring your success. Not every player can always be great. And not every player can be successful every season. Some years, players have setbacks. Last week, I focused on players who might [...]
