Fantasy Season in Review: San Jose Sharks

Forwards: The Burger Line of Patrick Marleau, Dany Heatley and Joe Thornton looked like one of the best line in hockey.  All three produced at a point-per-game pace and finished 8th, 14th and 16th in the scoring race.  With their padded ratios and strong powerplay time the three looked great on any fantasy roster.

Joe Pavelski is a MONSTER!!!

Now with seven goals in as many games, Joe Pavelski looks like the franchise player the San Jose Sharks should build around — not Patrick Marleau and not Joe Thornton.  This diminutive forward posted 25 goals each of the past two seasons, and could score another 20 or so in the playoffs if the Sharks [...]

Hot Starts: Who is For Real?

Keith Tkachuk: Last year Tkachuk scored eight goals and an assists in his first eight games of the year.  After that… not so much.  Those eight games accounted for a third of his goal production for the entire year.  Don’t get sucked in, but if he is on your team at least try to trade [...]

David Pollak reports that San Jose Sharks coach Todd McLellan announced today that the Sharks plan to use Dany Heatley on left wing on a line with Joe Thornton and Devin Setoguchi.  This isn’t much of a surprise but  with Thonton as his center Heatley has 50 goals written all over him.  This definitely won’t [...]
