It’s that time of year again. NHL All-Star Weekend. The festivities kick off Friday with the skills competition and carry into Saturday’s 3-on-3 tournament. It will be another star-studded event, filled with the league’s biggest and brightest talents showing off what they do best. Before the puck drops in Las Vegas, we’re sharing a little […]

These selections are based on how a player’s fantasy production compares to their expected production/cost of acquisition. To get the list of eligible nominees, I simply looked at the difference between a player’s current projected finish for fantasy points and compared it to where ESPN.com had them ranked in the top 300 during the offseason. […]

In that vein, here’s a look at some high FPP60 performers currently averaging fewer than 16 minutes per game. Anthony Duclair, W, Florida Panthers (15:26 average ice time, 8.00 FPP60): To set the tone, we’ll start with someone you probably can’t get your mitts on in your league. Duclair’s production is not a secret, playing […]

During this rough month of COVID-hampered play, we had some disparity in ice time, to be sure. Some teams played as many as 11 times, while the Ottawa Senators, for example, had only four games.

I shouldn’t flippantly say they’re not embracing it though. Dobson, for what it’s worth, is now earning the ice time deserved by his play this season — but it took a while for that to come around, including a visit to the press box at one point. But he looks secure now as the offensive […]

Not all coaching changes are created equal. When Andrew Brunette took over the Florida Panthers, for example, he has stepping in to take the reins of an already-successful team and wasn’t going to tinker much. We had Mike Yeo step in as new coach of the Philadelphia Flyers this week, but he doesn’t have a […]

When it comes to the skaters on your roster, they can do OK for prolonged periods of time without constant attention. Aside from making changes to your injured reserve, you can compete in fantasy with a standing roster of skaters. Goaltenders, on the other hand, require a little more attention. Through a combination of scheduling, […]
Continue readingNHL Power Rankings: 1-32 poll, plus what each team is ‘most likely’ to do
With the one-month mark in the rearview mirror — with the requisite awards presented to their winners — teams are certainly beginning to show tendencies that are more than just early-season trends.
