Continue readingNHL Playoffs Daily 2021: Round 2 begins; Toronto Maple Leafs look to close out the Montreal Canadiens
On Saturday night, the Toronto Maple Leafs will get their second chance to close out their first playoff series win since before the 2004-05 lockout.

It’s a different game, without question. Managers must weigh an individual’s projected productivity with their respective team’s chances at surviving one round after another.

While season-long success can still inform decision-making, the […]

Craig Smith, RW/C, Boston Bruins (39.1%): Having incessantly highlighted Smith as an underappreciated fantasy asset for several weeks now, this is my final push for the productive right-winger. At least for this season. The former Predator has four goals and 12 assists in his past dozen games. He’s skating on a dynamic scoring line with […]

Some teams only have a dozen games left in the fantasy season. There are no more excuses for a player, no more wait-and-see approach. If a player isn’t putting up points on your fantasy roster, you don’t need him. Baseball is back, and so is fantasy! Get the gang back together, or start a new […]
