This week’s in-depth player analysis – Antoine Vermette is underrated in fantasy hockey
Wow, is it ever nice to have NHL hockey back. The summer flew by for me so all of this NHL action sort of hit me like a fire hose and I was a little less prepared for my drafts than I am accustomed to (but probably still did 10 x more prep than a reasonable person would). Now that all of our drafts are over though, we enter a very critical point of the fantasy season that is often overlooked: the first month. A lot of people like to watch their team for a month before and there is certainly a lot of merit to doing that; but there is a ton of information on un-owned players available in the first couple weeks (powerplay lines, TOI etc) that can allow you to be ahead of the curve and grab some value players to help make up for some of your shortfalls at the draft table. Today I take an in-depth look at one of them to take advantage of: Antoine Vermette.
Antoine Vermette to me is the prototypical depth fantasy add. He's good for 20 goals
