DFO Fantasy Show – Fantasy Hockey Week 9: KEEP or CUT?

In this episode of the DFO Fantasy Podcast, Brock Seguin opens with a full rundown of the latest Fantasy News & Notes, including key injuries that could impact your week ahead. He then rolls into Brock’s Lock of the Day, breaking down his favourite player prop of the slate using data-driven reasoning (+15.4% ROI this season).

After that, Brock dives into an extended KEEP or CUT segment, analyzing the players that DailyFaceoff users are most conflicted about dropping. Using underlying metrics like shot volume, ixG, on-ice xGF, deployment, and regression indicators, Brock breaks down whether each skater is worth holding onto—or if it’s time to move on in standard redraft formats.

Players discussed in this episode include:
Jordan Kyrou, Quinton Byfield, Matvei Michkov, Dylan Guenther, Ivan Demidov, Seth Jones, Mikhail Sergachev, Dylan Holloway, Juraj Slafkovsky, and Andrei Svechnikov.

Whether you’re looking for buy-low opportunities, potential drop candidates, or simply trying to make the right roster decisions in competitive leagues, this episode gives you the numbers, context, and clear verdicts you need to stay one step ahead.
