What Is The Value Of Keeping Defensemen In Fantasy Hockey?

As a follow-up to my post on the value of goaltenders in fantasy hockey keeper leagues, I thought it would be pertinent to give a brief analysis on defensemen as keepers. I raise this point for a couple reasons: If trade deadlines have not passed, they are likely this week. It’s decision time for most […]
NHL Fantasy Hockey: Week 8 Preview

With only three weeks left in the Fantasy Hockey regular season, now is the time to make moves if you need to. Most leagues have their trade deadline coming up in the next 10-14 days which means you don’t have a lot of time left to keep taking the wait-and-see approach. Whether or not the […]
NHL Fantasy Hockey: Week 7 Preview

Two-Game Teams Dallas, Ottawa If there was a team that could use a light week, it’s Ottawa. I say that because G Craig Anderson is on the road to recovery. In Dallas, a light week could be useful for Lehtonen, who recently returned from a groin injury. With so much up in the air in […]
How To Value Defensemen and Evaluating Goaltenders

Like I wrote about in my fantasy hockey draft guide, the value of players in a league is largely dependent on that specific league’s particular settings.

NHL Fantasy Hockey: Week Five Preview (Feb. 18-24)

The fifth week in Fantasy Hockey features quite the anomaly; there are five teams playing just two games, yet there is one team playing five games this week. That can be fantasy gold for some people. This is how it breaks down this week. Two-Game Teams Anaheim Ducks, Boston Bruins, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, Washington Capitals Offensively, […]
NHL Fantasy Hockey: Week Four Preview (Feb. 11-17)

It was a great week for those of you that have multiple players from the New Jersey Devils roster. David Clarkson, Patrik Elias, Ilya Kovalchuk and Andy Greene all finished in the top-10 in a standard roto format while both Martin Brodeur and Johan Hedberg were top-12 goalies. The Devils are one of the best […]
NHL Fantasy Hockey Week Three Preview (Feb. 4-10)

It seems as though a few of the superstars in the NHL were listening to Jump Around by House of Pain on repeat last week and told themselves “Like the cream of the crop, I rise to the top”. If you have players like Crosby, Stamkos, Malkin, Staal, Letang or Karlsson, then you likely had […]
