At some point, there were going to have to be busts. Those players that just stink up the goodness of your Fantasy hockey team. You have seen the rest and below there will be… well… less. When this juncture hits, there are really two ways this can go: either bad or ugly. What we have below is not necessarily the literal lowest of the low. However, reality dictates that with a circumstance or two, these are players that it can turn really ugly for with an express train ride down to Fantasy Splitsville.

When you look at the list of centres available for Fantasy hockey, the depth is much stronger than the other forward positions. Any of the top five picks could push for the Art Ross based on luck and health; similarly, there’s plenty of argument to switch the No. 10 to No. 20 guys around. The best way to look at it is in groups of five, then draft based on individual needs: goals, special teams, shots, etc.

Fantasy Hockey Roundtable: Drop Them While They’re Hot

/ Hockey, Roundtable, Steven Ovadia

The hot player I’m considering dumping is Stephen Weiss from the Florida Panthers. He’s coming off a December 2 hat trick and has five goals in his last five games. He’s got 13 goals and 11 assists in his first 31 games. Weiss is having a career season. Amazingly, he’s never scored more than 20 goals in a season and he’s never had more than 48 points. One school of thought says Weiss will continue to sizzle, but I’m guessing, as the Panthers continue to struggle, his production will return to his usual low-to-average levels. There’s nothing in his history to suggest he’s about to evolve into an offensive superstar. Weiss is doing well right now, and some Fantasy owners are probably cashing in on his recent hot streak, but I’m betting this is all just an illusion.

The Wire Troll — Hockey Style

/ Chris Wassel, Hockey, The Wire Troll

In the beginning there was nothing and then there was light and there was still nothing, but you could see it. That is right, it may be Week Two of the NHL season for most of you or even Week Three for some, but it’s time for a little Hockey Wire Troll. Basically, you can go fishing for hours or let me do it for you. Most tend to prefer the latter. The less work you have to do now means the less you have to do later when Fantasy crunch time hits.
