Fantasy Season in Review: Los Angeles Kings
Offensive Corps: The 2009-10 Los Angeles Kings took a large step in the right direction. A solid nucleus of rising stars in Drew Doughty, Anze Kopitar, Jack Johnson, Jon Quick and Dustin Brown along with some key veteran acquisitions in Ryan Smyth and Justin Williams turned out to be the right mix in qualifying for [...]

Alexei Ponikarovsky certainly isn’t Ilya Kovalchuk. The Kings know this but had to settle for the second (at maximum) best option available to them to shore up their left side. However, what Ponikarovsky can bring to the table is more than what the scoresheet can provide – solid two-way play and often the first one [...]

A few weeks ago we released an arbitration list which named the players ready to do battle with their employers. From that list a vast majority settled with the exception of Stanley Cup winner Antti Niemi. Let’s take a short look at who settled and who is still prepared to go to war: James Wisniewski [...]

…from his Fantasy owners. Dear Ilya, We never met but I’ve now owned you on my team for some time now. Although I was wary of drafting you a few years ago due to your poor supporting cast, you have proved to be one of the most consistent players in the game if not the [...]

At thirty-years-old, Simon Gagne may find himself on a new team. Gagne never laced them up for a team without orange and black colors but could be on his way out since he makes the third highest total on the team and could want a raise from that. Furthermore, his UFA status and age could [...]

It’s always a difficult process making player projections at the start of a fantasy season but what happens when we think the world of a player and he falls completely short of his lofty expectations? When making preseason projections, analysts take everything into account – past trends, a previous season’s playoff performance, their team, their [...]

Tuesday, March 16, 2010
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 you [...]

Saturday, March 13, 2010
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 league [...]

Thursday, March 4, 2010
Michael Farber of Sports Illustrated wrote yesterday that the NHL’s trade deadline lacked star power and only two players, Wojtek Wolski and Fredrik Modin, could comfortably play a top-six role in the current game. At this point I would like to urge Farber to see outside the box as numerous trades created holes likely to [...]
