Dobber here, Angus will breakdown the Stefanovich for Brunnstrom deal further. But what concerns me about Fabio is that he is being outscored in the AHL by teammates Greg Rallo (undrafted) and Travis Morin (career minor leaguer). On the plus side, he did score a hat trick at the NHL level in his debut. [...]
Just pulled the trigger on a fairly large trade in one of my keeper leagues. If you have a few minutes check out my analysis here. The Midseason Guide, you can buy it here, re-released this morning with some updates to prep you for this weekend's midseason draft. Ryan Suter is plus-13 [...]
Just like in weeks five and 10, I will be giving an analysis on team’s defensive tendencies at home versus on the road.
Fantasy Impact: The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired Fabian Brunnstrom from the Dallas Stars.
The picks are coming a little early this week as I’m heading down to watch the Wild – Avs game Friday night, which means I have to drop my dogs off at my in-laws Thursday evening. Thunder (the brown/black mutt) isn’t feeling so well, so her sister Caribou (black lab) has been called up on an emergency one game basis from juniors. The best part about the trip down to St. Paul is making my wife (a beloved Leafs fan) wear my Nordiques jersey! Although the highlight of the weekend for me will be the hockey game, for my wife it’ll probably be a visit to IKEA the following day... Anyways, let’s hope to some fortunate bounces to start 2011 off on the right foot!

How quickly things can change. McBain was everyone's (myself included) preseason darling. A rookie defenseman who could defy the odds and put up big points. Why? He had some nice pedigree as a second rounder back in '06 and a two-time member of Team USA at the WJC. He was also the 08/09 WCHA player of the year after recording 37 points in 40 games at the University of Wisconsin. So yeah, he was a great prospect, but it was his cameo at the end of last season (10 points in 14 games) that had us buzzing. So what went wrong? It was simply two oversights:

Remember in last week’s School of Block when I mentioned that a legitimate talent rarely struggles for an entire season? From that standpoint, I focused mainly on Martin Brodeur – he was a true workhorse showing the signs needed to reverse his first-half misfortunes. This week’s lesson will again discuss goalies changing their fantasy values, but with a focus on the shifting balance of opportunity and roles.
