But beyond the obvious names, there are a few less obvious ones sprinkled among the players who are the biggest contributors to their team’s scoring. Shayne Gostisbehere, D, Arizona Coyotes (point on 52.2 percent of team’s goals, second in NHL): While he’s close to Draisaitl in percentage, it is a little less impressive since the […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings: Should you drop these seven players?
In the spirit of potentially finding some room on your roster, let’s cull the list of players to those with at least 12 minutes of ice time per game and six games played, then look at which players are rostered in at least 20 percent of ESPN leagues and doing nothing for you. Fun. Free. […]

The easier part of the equation is definitely identifying early movers and shakers whom you would like to add to your roster. But there are more early successes than there are obvious failures.

As a reminder, these rankings stem from a spreadsheet that attempts to project the future fantasy production of all relevant players, including many that haven’t laced up skates in the NHL ever.

The poor fantasy managers invested in the Calgary Flames can’t be pleased with the remaining schedule. The Flames only have five more games to count for fantasy.

Default head-to-head leagues are into the second week of the playoffs, with the championship all that remains after this week.

The 13 players are the fewest since there were 12 listed on Jan. 17, and the total continues a steady decline since a league-high 59 players were listed on Feb. 12.
