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.

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.
