2021-22 NHL Season Preview: Fantasy Sleepers and Undervalued Players
Below are a few undervalued fantasy hockey targets in the 2021-2022 season for your NHL drafts. You could call these players sleepers if you want, but it’s hard to call a former 38-goal scorer a sleeper, so I went with the term undervalued. I don’t think a player who flirted with 40 goals is going […]

2021-22 NHL season preview: Central Division
The NHL’s Central Division was around during the shortened 2021 season, but the alignment has reverted back to the 2019-20 format with the addition of Arizona as the eighth team. This division is both easy and difficult to handicap, as the Colorado Avalanche should be the class of the division and run away with both […]

Fantasy sleeper candidates for the 2021 NHL season
Below, you’ll see a few fantasy hockey sleepers to consider for the 2020-21 NHL season. Sleeper is just another term for value.
