Welcome back for part 2 of The Good, The Bad (fair) and The Ugly In the same vein as last week, I will review two players that fall into each category. The good will cover players that produced over expectations & provided really good to exceptional value to their cap hit. The ‘bad’ – perhaps [...]
I think there’s a lesson being taught to fantasy owners these playoffs that we need to keep in mind each and every fantasy season: we are at the mercy of individual coaches, the minutes they give players, and the combinations they use them in. I am reminded of this as I sit here and contemplate [...]
Avid readers of my column know the area where I’m least knowledgeable is prospects, as in my main league you can only own players who are signed to NHL contracts and we can only keep players up to three years. I realize that prospects are important in many leagues; given that, and in honor of [...]

With the playoffs underway for the past month, there have been few changes to the Roto Rankings for June. Most notable are the addition of players injured during the 2020-21 season that should be back for the 2021-22 season. You could use these rankings if you somehow have a draft tomorrow or want to get [...]

This is a big offseason for the Carolina Hurricanes for a number of reasons. First up is just the magnitude of their UFAs/RFAs. They have all three goalies up for contracts – Mrazek and Reimer as UFA and Nedeljkovic as RFA – Jake Bean as an RFA, Andrei Svechnikov as an RFA, as well as [...]
The New York Rangers have named former Vegas, Florida and Columbus coach Gerard Gallant as their next Head Coach. As much as I (and many of us) dislike the “coaching carousel”, I don’t think Gallant has peaked. And so far, what we saw in his last two stints were nothing but positives. The only red [...]
