This will be my third season of trying to pin down the top 20 rookies and it is always much more difficult than it seems. I have over-reached on some 18-year-olds and just flat missed on some great rookies the past two seasons. The flip side is that I did have Pius Suter #17, Jason [...]
One of the best feelings in fantasy hockey is when a player you believe in breaks through for a monster season. In fantasy hockey, players who come out of nowhere to score 70 points are gold, but they are tough to find. There are always the obvious choices, but those are selected high in drafts. [...]
It’s that time of year where line combinations and power play units should be taken with a grain of salt, but it’s impossible not to get excited about the prospect of some of them. One such intriguing combo was in Montreal, where Christian Dvorak, Josh Anderson and Jonathan Drouin were paired together earlier this week [...]

Hey gang! Over the last two weeks I have recapped some of the more interesting sets of forwards and defensemen who have found new homes over the offseason whether that be via trade, free agency, or even the expansion draft! It was a busy offseason with player movement left, right and center! To wrap up [...]
If you’ve read my Ramblings from the previous two days, you’ll recall that I’ve had success using the Zero G strategy in two different mock drafts (source: Apples and Ginos). However, I’m not going to proclaim that you’ll have a guaranteed 100 percent success rate using this strategy. https://twitter.com/aussie_beerguy/status/1444186431484612610 If you do decide to use [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we follow hockey prospects and their paths to the NHL, providing fantasy predictions and analysis along the way. This week, I wanted to take a step away from the upcoming draft’s top-30 prospects and have a look at the NHL preseason, as many very promising young players have been [...]
Although the Canucks themselves did not announce the Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes contracts, Elliotte Friedman informed us what they would look like. https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1444036241440268299 Cap leaguers obviously won’t have the benefit of having these two players on entry-level deals any longer. However, keeping the cap hit under $8 million for both players has to be [...]
Last week we started a conversation about 2020’s most streaky players. Using the Most Consistent report from the report’s page we were able to look at which players were pointing more or less consistently than we would expect given their point pace. We left off with one major question though - is this something that [...]
Bad news for those hoping for a breakout season from Jakub Vrana. The Wings winger is expected to miss at least four months, as he will undergo shoulder surgery. After being acquired from Washington at the trade deadline, Vrana impressed with his new club, scoring eight goals and 11 points in 11 games. Vrana had [...]
