After scoring 41 goals last season for the Chicago Blackhawks, Alex DeBrincat has struggled to regain his scoring touch from a season ago. Last year saw him put up 41 goals, 35 assists, 0 plus/minus, 24 power-play points, and 35 hits, which lead to him being tied for 58th in Fantasy Hockey Geek value among [...]
Hopefully you were able to find alternate ways to pass the time on Saturday instead of watching hockey. Something to consider while we wait for the season to possibly resume is the status of injured players.

The NHL announced that the season will be suspended indefinitely, and how the league proceeds is open to any and all options at this point. How should fantasy hockey league commissioners proceed?
