Some Minor NHL Trade Deadline Deals Might Have Big Fantasy Impact
In case you haven’t seen them, I have been covering the movement for the NHL trade deadline. While most sites will want to chip in their two cents on “winners” and “losers” in these trades, I am more concerned with the fantasy hockey impact. If you want to read up, here they are: F Ryane […]
Jason Pominville Could Be Fantasy Hockey Gold
One of the trades that got in just under the deadline was one completed by the Minnesota Wild and Buffalo Sabres.
