Happy All-Star break all! We’ve made it to the halfway point so to speak in the season. Whether or not you’re a fan of the all-star game and skills competitions (most likely age dependent) is one thing, but I do think the All-Star Game is a great snapshot of who mattered in each season. If [...]
We have finally hit that mid-season break moment where some of the NHL’s best players go hang out for a few days and compete for glorious prizes. This mark at the season tends to be viewed as sort of the unofficial and not actually halfway point of the season so I wanted to take a [...]
The Anaheim Ducks have named Pat Verbeek as their new general manager. He will need to quickly decide whether the Ducks (currently occupying the #3 seed in the Pacific Division) should continue their playoff push or attempt to sell off UFAs-to-be Rickard Rakell, Hampus Lindholm, Josh Manson, and maybe even longtime Duck Ryan Getzlaf. It’s [...]
Here are the top skaters to own in your points-only dynasty leagues - February edition! As always, players with a rating within +/-5.0 of each other should be considered equal value. Players are ranked based on upside, 3YP (three-year average of likely future peak seasons in the NHL), proneness to injury, current season's pace, strength [...]
With the NHL still placing players into the COVID-19 protocol, and with the number of injuries that have taken place this season I figured it may be best to release a second part to the article that was published last week. Mix that with the amount of players that are doing exceptionally well this year, [...]
There was news that Ville Heinola was sent down to the AHL on Wednesday but we need to remember that the All-Star break is at hand. There is no need to keep the young guys on the roster and the taxi squad has been dissolved. We will see if he gets called back up after [...]
Here’s the latest injury news from across the NHL! If you’re looking for information about a specific player and don’t see their name in this article, there probably haven’t been any significant updates about their progress since our last article. If you ever need injury updates for a specific player, shoot me a message on Twitter @BrennanDeSouza. Josh Manson – [...]
Welcome back to another edition of the Roos Lets Loose monthly mailbag, where I answer your fantasy hockey questions by giving advice that should be useful to all poolies even if they don’t own the specific players being discussed. As a reminder, if you want your fantasy hockey question(s) answered in the next mailbag, check [...]
It’s February, so that means it’s time for Filip Forsberg to score a few extra goals. It seems as though every year he finds a little bit extra for “Filbruary”. Maybe a good guy to sell-high on at your league’s trade deadline in a month, but in the short-term, a good guy to have in [...]
In this week's Eastern Edge, we'll look at each team’s most disappointing fantasy player at the halfway mark. Not all teams have a clear-cut candidate for this list, so hopefully you’ll forgive me for grasping at straws in certain cases. Some teams also have more than one, so we had to cut down in other [...]
