My two favourite mantras in fantasy hockey are; buy low sell high and; proven over potential. As we saw last week in the Giroux vs. Kane Cage Match sometimes you just have to throw those out the window. Things do eventually change. Learning to tell the difference between a buy low stock and a sinking ship is tremendously valuable. Being able to tell the difference between a breakout player and a fast starter is similarly valuable. In this week’s Cage Match we look at two different players in two very different situations – one in the latter situation and one in the former. It’s Valterri Filppula vs. Mike Ribeiro. Are these two contenders or pretenders?

  Midseason Guide is out in about six weeks. I've also set up a package where you can get this, the playoff draft list AND a Frozen Pool or Goalie Post membership for $19.99. That's basically just a buck for the membership. There are other deals in the shop too - including one for Hockey [...]

Happy Black Tuesday everybody! I trust you’re enjoying hockey on your brand new $49 Black Friday 75” LED TV.  Up here in Canada, all we have are faux noir Monday 5% off sales. It’s a bit of a joke. Look at us! We have sales too! It’s almost worth driving down and wading through a sea of jogging pants at Walmart to save some bucks (import duty $$ aside). If anyone knows where I can buy a car with a hidden 75” compartment let me know…

 

This week we’ll be doing some bargain bin shopping of our own.  The best part: no sweaty jogging pants, no rat-tails and no inappropriately tight 1987 Def Leppard t-shirts! Let’s begin shall we?

  Taylor Hall - out two to four weeks with his shoulder injury per TSN. Paajarvi has a few games to show his stuff   Updated the Elliott/Wilson note below. Stefan Elliott's hot start reminds me of Shattenkirk's from a year ago.   Footage of the Tootoo dive below. Shameless! The Tennessean floated the concept [...]

Last week we looked at some quality players who are either hot or heating up who are worth keeping on your roster. This week we’ll take a look at a few Eastern Conference players who might be better off on your opponent’s roster. Let’s take a look and keep in mind, these comments are for one-year leagues.

  Carolina has fired Paul Maurice and hired Kirk Muller. I will post a column breaking this down later today as well.   I will have a fantasy breakdown of the Bruce Boudreau firing later this morning. A reader suggested that I do breakdowns for coaching changes, not just trades. And I think that’s a [...]
