The window to buy low on Conor Garland didn’t last long. Garland has arrived. What you’re witnessing is a real-time offensive breakout. Garland was originally passed over in his 2014 draft year even though he notched 54 points in 51 games with Moncton. At 5-8, 160 lbs, it’s not a surprise all 30 NHL teams [...]

Ramblings: The Beautiful Outdoor Near-Failure, Crosby 1000, McDavid Blows Out Flames (Feb 21) Sooner or later, the ice conditions in one of the NHL’s outdoor games was going to make a game unplayable. This one happened to be over what was naturally the most beautiful backdrop ever used for an outdoor game. That’s why I [...]

The Journey: AHL Watchlist

By |2021-02-20T11:37:17-05:00February 20th, 2021|The Journey|

Welcome back to The Journey.  I've mentioned it a few times now, but if you are a prospect enthusiast and haven't checked out an AHL game, do yourself a favor.

The Florida Panthers appeared to be in a prime spot to cash in on Friday against Detroit. They didn’t disappoint, scoring a converted touchdown against the Red Wings. This may not be the season to own multiple players from the same team. The two COVID stoppages from the Stars and Hurricanes that forced delays to [...]

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 [...]

Ramblings: Elvis, Jumbo Joe, Shorthanded Flyers, Struggling Zibanejad (Feb 19)

By |2021-02-19T01:32:43-05:00February 19th, 2021|Hockey Rambling|

On Thursday morning, Alain Vigneault announced that no one on the Flyers COVID list would be going to Lake Tahoe. Those players are Claude Giroux, Travis Konecny, Jakub Voracek, Oskar Lindblom, Scott Laughton, Justin Braun, and Morgan Frost. That’s a big chunk of their team, especially when it comes to scoring. I’m not sure at [...]

Capped: Bargain players with slow starts

By |2021-02-18T09:13:58-05:00February 18th, 2021|Capped|

As a fantasy manager, I don’t think I have ever owned Teuvo Teravainen. I never fully bought into the upside, and then once he had broken out, he was never productive enough for me outside of hits that there were always players I liked better in trades and drafting. As a result, he’s a player [...]
