Re-signing restricted free agent Bollig helps address any concerns the Hawks had that they won’t be tough enough. In his first NHL action this season, he went scoreless in 18 games, but racked up 58 penalty minutes in seeing less than six minutes of action per game.

It is always tough to say goodbye to anything. However, with the Fantasy hockey playoffs now complete and an extra week passed to let it all sink in, this was a just time to bid adieu to the 2011-12 Fantasy season. Hopefully you followed us all season and took heed to some of our picks (even the odd ones). We did notice that for whatever reason, rotisserie and point league GMs seemed to be quite appreciative.

McGinn has risen in Fantasy leagues because of a second straight hot week. At press time, the left winger had put up seven goals in his last seven games. How much more on fire can you get? McGinn’s ownership rate went up a whopping 34.1 percentage points in ESPN leagues and a comparable amount in Yahoo! leagues. Is he a potential 25-goal scorer? With the right ice time, he sure is and even before this hot stretch, the Avalanche winger would have come pretty close to 20 goals. Either way, add McGinn for the stretch if you still can.

Ruutu returned to action Saturday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Though you may want to give him a couple games to get back in the swing of things, insert him into your lineup anyway because 17 goals in 57 games translates to a respectable 25 over a 82-game schedule. Ruutu is owned in 25-to-30 per cent of Fantasy hockey leagues, but his shots on goal, hits and point potential is at least a good reason to consider an add. Playoff runs are won on depth guys at this point and the multiple positional eligibility is a huge boost for GMs.
