Fantasy hockey rankings Week 6 update: Top five consistent defensemen to add
Hits and blocked shots, however, are less likely to ebb and flow for the non-elite fantasy assets. The same is somewhat true of shots. They are stats that can be collected by a player for fantasy points independent of deployment. Not completely independent, mind you, but to an extent, taking those actions doesn’t rely on […]

With the switch to a points-based default game, and the redesign on the scoring settings, the opportunity presented itself to move to a points-based ranking system as we attempt to forecast how the next few years might play out.

Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings Week 6 update: Top four goalies to trade for
Based on current season fantasy points per 60 minutes (FPP60), games remaining for each club and each goaltender’s timeshare percentage in their team’s crease, only four goaltenders are projected to accumulate more than 100 points from this stage forward. And of those four, fantasy managers could only feel really good about Andrei Vasilevskiy and Semyon […]

If we take a player’s fantasy points per game (FPPG) and multiply it by the number of games they have left, that’s how much fantasy value they have remaining — again, assuming a static pace forward (which we know isn’t the case). Join or create a league in the No. 1 Fantasy Hockey game, and […]

Continue readingUpdated fantasy hockey rankings: What’s changed from last season?
We last checked in with a rankings update in June, when the NHL was very much in limbo. Since then, we’ve had an extended playoffs, a draft, a long delay, and the start of a very different NHL season. Since then, we’ve revamped the default scoring to better reflect positional value and diverse skill sets […]

Phil Kessel, RW, Arizona Coyotes (Rostered in 32.1% of ESPN.com leagues): Remember him? The highly coveted asset of old lost a good deal of his fantasy luster in falling flat during his first season as a Coyote, collecting only 14 goals and 24 assists. Well, it seems Phil the Thrill is back, in view of […]

The word that typically defines free agency in the NHL is “uncertainty.” Players with expiring contracts enter a marketplace unsure of what their next deals will look like or where they’ll next call home. But in the 2020 free-agent frenzy, that uncertainty has reached previously unseen levels for players and teams. There’s a flat salary […]
