This week on Frozen Tool Forensics we are going to have a little fun looking at rookies. In redraft leagues, rookies aren’t always worth rostering, and all of these players are going to be rostered in dynasty formats, but it is worth taking a quick look at who is being productive so far and whether [...]
Welcome back to Puck Picks! Each Thursday, I break down some of my favorite NHL bets, explain the reasoning behind them, and track performance transparently.
