Ryan Getzlaf is planning to retire at the end of the season. He had an excellent start to the year, propped up by some high percentages, but as the campaign has progressed it does appear that he is nearly running on empty. He had an incredibly impressive career, winning all of the important titles including [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll look at widely rostered players who have underperformed in the past month (since March 1st). We’ve reached a point of the fantasy campaign where name-value becomes meaningless, and loyalty goes out the window.
