You see it practically every time a coach gets the pink slip. Heck, you saw it six games into the season when Atlanta fired coach Bob Hartley. Sure, it took the Thrashers a couple of games to get going under interim coach/GM Don Waddell, but once they started rolling, fantasy leagues were turned...
More than any other year in recent memory, the goaltending picture from a fantasy standpoint has been cloudier than ever. The usual suspects – Martin Brodeur, Roberto Luongo and Miikka Kiprusoff – aren’t in the top 10 in any major goaltending category (well, Kipper is tied for ninth in wins, but...
It’s easy for a fantasy owner to determine which players are ‘buy low’ candidates – usually, players on his or her own team qualify. Here are some players who are over their head right now and it would make sense to trade them immediately for some fantastic return: Cory Stillman, CAR: With 30...
Only a handful of NHL teams can boast two elite offensive players who are in the same class as Atlanta’s dynamic duo of Marian Hossa and Ilya Kovalchuk. Clearly, the team has found one in rookie Tobias Enstrom, a diminutive blueliner who came over from Sweden. Game No. 7 brought in a new coach as...
If you happen to own the entire top line for Los Angeles, it was quite possible you were turning cartwheels late Thursday night. Anze Kopitar, Mike Cammalleri and Dustin Brown combined for a whopping 10 points and you can’t help but think that the best is yet to come from this young trio.
It finally happened. The moment thousands of poolies around the world waited for: Cristobal Huet pulled his groin and Carey Price had a chance to shine. The WHL and Canadian Hockey League goaltender of the year joined the Habs’ minor league team in Hamilton just in time to win the AHL playoff...
Milan Lucic is one prospect that was not on many radar screens in fantasy hockey circles. But he’s certainly on them now. Boston’s second round pick in 2006 (50th overall) has pushed his stock higher with each month that has gone by since that draft, highlighted by his being named the 2007...
Yet another example of how statistics correct themselves if given a large enough sample size: The Buffalo Sabres are finally starting to score goals. With the latest surge in goal scoring, Buffalo has moved up to seventh in the league in goals for and have five players with more than 20 points...
A trade was just what the doctor ordered for owners of Andy McDonald. If you held onto McDonald for two and a half rough months, kudos to you because going forward he will post a point-per-game, pushing him towards the 70-point mark come April. Not bad, considering he had 16 points in 33 games to...
With all the changes that the Flyers have made over the past year, fantasy owners were having trouble getting a read on where all the players fit on the roster. A team boasting seemingly a dozen second-line players and an equal amount of second or third pairing defensemen is bound to throw a few...
