The Colorado Avalanche have started to get the trade deadline in motion of late. They traded for Josh Manson on Monday, and on Tuesday followed that up by trading Tyson Jost. The 24-year-old has appeared in over 300 regular season games for the Avalanche but seemed to have plateaued as a bottom-6 piece, and so [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll continue looking at skaters who have bounced back from underwhelming starts. In last week’s article (which covered skaters from Boston to New Jersey) we focused on first-half and second-half splits. I decided to be more lenient with the timeframes in this week’s edition so that we could include a [...]
The Top 100 Roto Rankings push forward for March. Plenty of updates have been made, including several new players and even a new top goalie! Keep in mind that these are single-season rankings for a head-to-head or rotisserie league using the following settings: G, A, +/-, PPP, SOG, HIT, W, GAA, SV%. These rankings [...]
Welcome back to a special edition of Lining Up. This week will examine goalies and the ongoing battles to earn the coveted spot of “lining up” on their respective creases. As this will involve different players on the ice than previous columns, a quick recap of some advanced goalie stats is in order. Along with [...]
We had just one game in the NHL on Monday night and it was the Arizona Coyotes heading into Ottawa to face the Senators. That is about as uninteresting as it can get at this point of the season, though there aren’t many games that are uninteresting from a fantasy perspective. Lawson Crouse tallied his [...]
The Anaheim Ducks have traded right-shot defenseman Josh Manson to the Colorado Avalanche for prospect Drew Helleson and a 2023 second-round draft pick. The Ducks get: Basically, Josh Manson from nine years ago. Plus a nice draft pick. Helleson, when he bulks up (he’s still only 20) could end up being the exact size as [...]
I’ve tried to come up with a Core Three for each team in the West in 2020 and 2021 and figured it was time for the 2022 version. This is never as easy as it seems as there are a few factors that come into play, like long-term contracts, blue-chip prospects and emerging players that [...]
The NHL trade deadline is a week away, and this will be a time of year when even the most pessimistic fantasy general manager can get swept up in the emotion of it all. Any time a player gets dealt around trade deadline day, the value of that traded player increases in fantasy circles. Which [...]
Here are the top 200 prospect forwards to own in points-only dynasty leagues - March edition! As always, players ranked within +/- 5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal value and at that point become a matter of team needs or personal bias. Click any player name to be taken to his [...]
Since the return of Evgeni Malkin, Evan Rodrigues has seven points in 26 games. This surprises no one. But for the last couple of games he has been playing with Malkin and getting reasonable ice time in that 15–16-minute range, and he has points and at least four shots in each of his last two [...]
