NHL Fantasy Briefs: Detroit Red Wings
No-brainers Players you should be drafting in all standard formats: Jimmy Howard: Coming off his best season, yet, it will need to be seen how a Lidstrom-less D affects his numbers. Pavel Datsyuk: Datsyuk is now 3 seasons removed from 97 point but has still produced at or near a point per game in his [...]

No-brainers Players you should be drafting in all standard formats: Jamie Benn: Hard to argue against increasing his point totals every year despite less games played. Look for 30+ goals if healthy. Loui Eriksson: Three straight 70+ point seasons and proved he can still perform without Brad Richards. Michael Ryder: Might have had the quietest [...]

No-brainers Players you should be drafting in all standard formats: Jack Johnson: Slim pickings for the Blue Jackets but 14 points in 21 games after the trade gets him on this list. James Wisniewski: 27 points in a short 48 game season last year. You’ll just need to stomach the +/-. Deep stuff Players you’ll [...]

No-brainers Players you should be drafting in all standard formats: Semyon Varlamov: Regrouped to finish the season on a solid note. Gabriel Landeskog: The new captain can only expect to improve on his 22-goal rookie season. Deep stuff Players you’ll take as a flier at the end of your draft or in deeper leagues. Think [...]

8. September 2012
No-brainers Players you should be drafting in all standard formats: Patrick Sharp: Back-to-back 30-goal seasons at a weak winger position. Draft and accept the injury risk. Jonathan Toews: Nearly a point-per-game after returning last season and could come at a discount. Patrick Kane: Three straight years of declining points but hard to believe he can’t [...]

7. September 2012
No-brainers Players you should be drafting in all standard formats: Eric Staal: If the ‘Canes are going to do big things this year, Staal is the guy to start it off. Jordan Staal: Coming off of a stellar season filling in for Crosby and now united with big bro’. Alexander Semin: Not even a rocket [...]

6. September 2012
No-brainers Players you should be drafting in all standard formats: Miikka Kiprusoff: The best fantasy option on this team but the wins will be lesser now more than ever. Jarome Iginla: Played every game over the past 5 seasons. Michael Cammalleri: Produced at a decent rate after the trade to the Flames, but may get [...]

5. September 2012
No-brainers Players you should be drafting in all standard formats: Ryan Miller: Still proving to be among the fantasy elite. Thomas Vanek: One of the most reliable near-30 goal scorers in the NHL… and you’ll probably still be able to get him at a discount. Christian Ehrhoff: Big production drop after signing the big contract [...]

4. September 2012
No-brainers Players you should be drafting in all standard formats: Zdeno Chara: Easy argument for a top-3 defenseman. Tyler Seguin: Should lead the B’s in points… again. Tuuka Rask: This is Rask’s tryout. We’ve seen flashes of brilliance as Thomas’ backup and he could easily end the season as a top-5 goalie as the main guy. [...]

3. September 2012
No-brainers Players you should be drafting in all standard formats: Corey Perry: In his final season before free agency, Perry could net himself a huge payday with a huge year. Ryan Getzlaf: Ditto. Bobby Ryan: Hopefully Ryan can get back to that 71 point level from ’10-’11 after all the trade rumours have settled. Teemu [...]
