Before Saturday’s game, Brad Marchand was placed on the COVID protocol list. That resulted in young banger Trent Frederic being placed on the top line with Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak. Although Frederic did not record a point, he logged a season-high 17:30 of icetime and 2:14 on the second power-play unit. Frederic is the [...]
Welcome back to The Journey. Here we are, just weeks away from the fantasy playoff season. This means that you are likely spending the weekend tinkering with your rosters and sifting through the market to sell your soul and go for a deep run. Of course, this means that you will be taking a good [...]
With approximately six weeks remaining in the NHL’s shortened 2021 season and just over two weeks to the trade deadline, you can expect the next month-and-a-half of hockey to be not only entertaining but tightly contested, as well. As I’ve mentioned in previous weeks, a quick scan of the evening’s boxscores produces a number of [...]
Last Saturday while I was scrambling right before lineup lock with the news that two of my favorite plays were scratched, Alexander Radulov and Tyler Toffoli, I was reminded of an important concept in DFS that I’ve never really touched on in this article. And that concept is bankroll management. I’m not going to pretend [...]
We have a trade to announce. It’s no huge surprise considering the current state of the Buffalo Sabres, as Eric Staal has been traded to Montreal for a third-round and a fifth-round pick in the upcoming draft. For more, check out the fantasy impact article from Mike Clifford. Staal’s value should improve just by getting [...]
Marc Bergevin said that the Habs would be very cash-strapped at the deadline, but as Bergevin has shown before, he’s not always truthful with his proclamations in the media. Montreal traded for Eric Staal late Friday afternoon, sending a third- and fifth-round pick in this year’s draft to the Sabres in exchange. The Sabres retained [...]
All fantasy owners need help in the short term AND the long term. The Looking Ahead feature identifies one player to plug into lineups in the short term, a second to invest in for the long term, a third to bench for the coming week, and a fourth who will struggle to meet expectations for [...]
It has been a while since we have specifically looked at some of the wide-ranging offers that Frozen Tools really has. We have been using it to answer specific questions for, but I wanted to take a moment and check back in on some of the basic info we can access, and some of the [...]
The cold streak for Carter Hart is extending longer than many people expected – especially on my end. Rookie goalies like Alex Nedeljkovic, Kevin Lankinen, and Kaapo Kahkonen are all making their mark, further reinforcing two points that I believe in. First, goaltending is not somewhere to spend a lot of money, and second, younger goalies should [...]
Going into Thursday night, the St. Louis Blues had been on a bit of a skid, losing six of their previous eight games. Their top defenceman, Colton Parayko, has been out of the lineup and the team really doesn’t look the same without him. They got a positive update on Parayko yesterday though: https://twitter.com/jprutherford/status/1375129476485505030 That [...]
