For this month’s poll we’re going to look at players who are riding streaks of several seasons where they’ve seen their scoring rate [...]
We saw the NHL announce their awards last night, and you can find the full breakdown in lots of places quickly if you google it. There’s not a lot of fantasy value to be gained from awards and all, but they are a fun way to wrap-up the season, and look ahead to potential winners [...]

Up next is the Los Angeles Kings who surprised some people (including myself) and made the playoffs last season. I thought they were two or three years out from where they were last summer, but they added Phillip Danault, Victor Arvidsson and Alex Edler before the season which accelerated the timeline a little. GM and [...]
