Seattle Kraken expansion draft protected lists, available players
The Seattle Kraken are joining the NHL for the 2021-22 season and will play in the Pacific Division. The front office and coaching staff have taken shape, and Climate Pledge Arena is on track to be ready, but the team needs players. The Kraken will select one player each from 30 NHL teams, as the […]

Down but not out, the Vegas Golden Knights return to T-Mobile Arena for a critical Game 3. Can they keep this series interesting, or are the Colorado Avalanche clicking on too many levels right now? Meanwhile, after an unsettling end to Game 1, the Montreal Canadiens and Winnipeg Jets return to the ice, minus Mark […]

Farewell to the Washington Capitals and St. Louis Blues, two recent Stanley Cup champions who were eliminated Sunday. Three more teams — the Florida Panthers, Minnesota Wild and, quite shockingly, the Edmonton Oilers — could join them after Monday night’s action. Check out the ESPN NHL Playoffs Daily to catch up every day of the […]

No, there’s no reason to suspect a further spiralling of the planet into some Lovecraftian horror. It’s the Seattle Kraken that will wrap their tentacles around players and pull them into the Northwest. The Vegas Golden Knights get to skip this expansion draft, being relatively new to the league themselves. But that also offers a […]

Two overtime games, and one absolute barnburner in front of a wild crowd in Florida. The road teams went 3-0. No one held more than a one-goal lead. The second day of the 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs brought the heat. And to think, half of the series haven’t even started yet. Two of those series […]

The 2021 NHL season was a campaign the likes of which we’ve never seen — and hope to never see again. The game schedule was limited (both in overall volume and variety of opponents). The fan capacity was limited. Thankfully, the permutations of how the Stanley Cup Final might play out are less limited because […]

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. Connor McDavid‘s proclivity for putting up points will only go so far if the Winnipeg Jets sweep the Edmonton Oilers in four (this won’t happen). Ideally, fantasy competitors want to invest […]

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. The Los Angeles Kings, Canucks, St. Louis Blues and Colorado Avalanche, for example, have 10. Vince Dunn is more appealing than Mark Giordano under these circumstances, and it’s […]

The Canucks are in four of those games, the Calgary Flames in three of them and the Toronto Maple Leafs, Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets in one each. Baseball is back, and so is fantasy! Get the gang back together, or start a new tradition. Join or start a league for free >> Prepare with […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings Week 13 update: Is it time to drop Logan Couture or Tyler Toffoli?
Default head-to-head leagues are into the second week of the playoffs, with the championship all that remains after this week. Points and rotisserie leagues don’t have to sweat the nuances of that schedule, but the pressure created by minimal games really puts a strain on the value. While season-long success can still inform decision-making, the […]
