Here are the top skaters to own in your points-only keeper leagues - April edition! Not much has changed, considering we only had about five games to go on last month. And I played this (optimistically, until I hear otherwise) as if a few regular season games will be played in August. That means some [...]
There are benchmarks in any type of fantasy league that people strive for. In football, it’s usually something like 1000 yards from scrimmage or double-digit touchdowns. In baseball, it can be something like a .300 season, or a 20/20 home run/steal season. In hockey, we have things like 20-goal campaigns, 30-win seasons, and the [...]
I thought about adding a fake question for April Fools Day to help provide a momentary escape from the sober reality we’re all currently facing, but figured it would be in poor form. So instead I’ll stick to what you came here for - information via answers to questions while providing advice that should be [...]
The NHL has extended the teams' self-quarantine until April 15. The league is breaking off section in two-week chunks. And with the way the US is trending, we’ll be seeing that period extended a few more times. No surprise the NHL has again pushed back the period of self-quarantine to April 15. Bill Daly [...]
After spending the past couple of weeks looking at each team’s fantasy MVP (which you can check out here and here), I decided to analyze the other end of the spectrum. In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll take a look at the most disappointing fantasy player from each team in the Eastern Conference. If you [...]
Every year, some players don’t perform to expectations. It’s just the nature of sport; sometimes players will exceed their talent levels, and some will underperform them. It’s not a straight shot for everyone with regards to explanations, though. It’s not as if we can just point to a number and exclaim that is the [...]
With nothing left to do but reflect on a season that maybe was, I thought I would look back at my bounce back candidates from the start of the year and see what I was smoking. I had written a three part column here, here and here. I’ve put in Italics what I thought, back [...]
It's Game Night on the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast! Elan has created a brand new rotisserie fantasy game where every owner drafts a team to compete against one another, but with a catch: instead of drafting for the stats that you think a player is going to put up, you're drafting them for the stats they've already [...]
Last week, I took a shot at naming the top 10 disappointing players of 2019-20. As I mentioned at the time, it was a much more difficult task than normal, as my original list had 55 names. To make sure I could include more players, I decided to break it down into two groupings. Last [...]
The NHL is heading for a return…at some point. They seem to think June is a remote possibility, with each month that follows having increased odds as the likely date. Myself, I think August or possibly September. Regardless, even a return in mid-June is going to see a crap-load of players coming back to play [...]
