For the last few weeks, we’ve been reviewing peripheral contributions across the league, focusing on shots, hits, blocks, and penalty minutes. The last couple of Ramblings alone have covered the top peripheral performers among forwards and then among defencemen. Today, let’s start looking at the entire picture and compare the fantasy performances of some players [...]
We have a bigger update as we enter the offseason, turning over all of the stats and contracts to set up for the 2026-27 season. Connor McDavid is back in the top spot thanks in part to him taking a bit of discount in order to try and win a Cup in Edmonton. Meanwhile, breakout [...]
With the regular season in the books, it’s time– for better or, unfortunately for me in the last couple of seasons, worse – to look back at my Fearless Forecasts for 2025-16. For the 2024-25 campaign just one of my forecasts came true, although I was close on a few, which is why I assign [...]

Happy Monday y’all! I hope you had a great weekend and hopefully you have advanced to the next round of your fantasy playoffs! We had some shocking news Sunday afternoon after we learned that the Vegas Golden Knights fired their head coach, Bruce Cassidy, after winning 178 games through his three plus seasons with the [...]
Small sample size crops up at this time of year when prospects get called up at the end of the season. In Carter Yakemchuk’s case, it gets him a big boost as he has two points in one game at the time of processing the rankings. Obviously he won’t keep that up, so he’s going [...]
