Wisniewski Dead to Most Fantasy Leaguers

The strong arm of Colin Campbell came down on Anaheim Ducks defenseman today, suspending him for eight of the remaining 13 games.  A true example of retaliation due to a similar hit by the “victim” Brent Seabrook on right wing Corey Perry certainly did not seem to be suspension worthy but here at Daily Faceoff [...]

Scramble to Replace Campbell

After Brian Campbell was severely boarded by Alex Ovechkin and suffered a broken collarbone and rib, much ado was made about Alex Ovechkin and his occasionally reckless style of play. In a recent DailyFaceoff article, “Ovechkin Not Helping Your Playoff Push”, it was noted that Ovechkin’s hit would likely result in a suspension and [...]

The Value 25

The best way to describe this list is if you go to the waiver wire in your individual fantasy league (personally, I use Yahoo!) and find that Alexei Ponikarovsky, Tim Connolly, or Ryan Clowe are all available, this list is not for you. The Value 25 is a watch list intended for deep fantasy [...]

Ducks Drowning in Olympic Sized Pond

The Anaheim Ducks appeared playoff bound only a month ago, winning five of their seven games going into the Olympic break.  Unfortunately, those wins came back in February and now ten days into March they still look for their first win. Let us review. Jonas Hiller signed a new contract, giving him the confidence from the front [...]

Oilers Get Younger, Bigger and Shed Payroll

The Edmonton Oilers made two deals today which should effect their payroll, size and average team age.  Their first deal sent offensive defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky to the Anaheim Ducks for Ryan Whitney and a sixth round draft pick.  Their second move sent long-time Oiler Steve Staios to the Calgary Flames for impending UFA Aaron Johnson [...]

Key Players Find Themselves on the Shelf

There must be something in the air as we see some pivotal fantasy players take a turn for the worse. Last night, Ryan Getzlaf left his game with a sprained right ankle after an awkward collision with King’s captain Dustin Brown.  He will undergo an MRI today as the fantasy world and Team Canada eagerly await [...]

Giguere Turning Over a New Leaf

Jean-Sebastien Giguere shutout the Atlantic Division leading New Jersey Devils last night, effectively placing him back on the fantasy radar.  This transition should be no surprise as we listed him as a winner of the recent blockbuster trades due to an increase in playing time. The problem for the Leafs this year would be keeping the [...]

Under Review: Armageddon Edition

In light of Sunday’s bombastic pair of trades between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Calgary Flames/Anaheim Ducks (and a decidedly light week on other ‘big issue’ NHL news), it struck me as necessary to dissect the re-landscaping nature of the deals pulled by Burkie and Co. The facts: on Sunday morning, Brian Burke announced two [...]

The Winners: Matt Stajan – [...]
