Bounceback Players in Fantasy Hockey

Nick Schmaltz

Nick Schmaltz only put up 7 G and 25 points in 40 games in the 2018-19 season;
he already has 4 G and 13 pts in 14 games so far this season.
Nick Schmaltz has been one of the best Arizona Coyotes this season is on track for a bounceback year.

JT Miller

JT Miller had a subpar year last season, putting up only 13 G and 47 points in 75 games;
so far this season, JT Miller has 6 G and 15 points in 14 games.
JT Miller is a perfect fit on the line with Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser and is off to a great start in Vancouver.

James Neal

James Neal was acquired by the Edmonton Oilers in a trade with the Calgary Flames for Milan Lucic in the offseason in what was essentially a cap dump for both teams
Neal was in and out of the lineup with the Flames last year and only had 7 Goals and 19 points the entire season;
So far this season, Neal has 11 Goals, with 8 of them being on the PP.
Playing alongside Superstars like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on the PP in Edmonton will ensure that James Neal will have at least 30 Goals this season.

Sami Vatanen

Sami Vatanen struggled with injuries last season; he only put up 4 Goals, 17 points and was a -17 in 50 GP.
Vatanen has gotten off to a great start to the season, putting up 4 Goals and 7 points in 12 GP;
Vatanen plays on the Devils' 1st PP unit, so for that reason he should continue to have good fantasy value.

Justin Schultz

Justin Schultz only played in 29 games due to injury last season, so he didn't have much fantasy impact.
With the injuries the Penguins have had early in the season, Schultz has gotten time on the Penguins 1st PP
and his fantasy value will go up with due to Kris Letang miss an extended period of time.

Carter Hutton

Carter Hutton had a terrible season last year; he had a 18-25-5 record with a 3.00 GAA and .908 SV%.
Hutton has gotten off to a great start to this season; he has a 6-2-1 record with a 2.09 GAA, .928 SV% and 2 SO.
While you don't expect Hutton to continue putting up these type of numbers, he should still be a solid third goalie.

Fantasy Hockey Keeper League Advice

Keeper leagues add a layer of strategy and long-term planning to fantasy hockey. Every keeper league has its own unique rules and scoring settings, so adjust your strategy accordingly. By following these tips and adapting to your league's specific dynamics, you can increase your chances of long-term success. Here are some tips to help you dominate your Fantasy Hockey Keeper Leagues. Number of Keepers and League Settings When deciding on keepers, it is very important to know how many keepers the league allows you to keep and the league scoring system, because there are players that work better in H2H CAT leagues as opposed to H2H leagues with standard scoring categories.  If you can only keep a few players, focus on those who provide the most value in your specific scoring format. Keep players who excel in categories that are heavily weighted in your league (e.g., power-play points, hits, blocks, faceoffs).

2024 Offseason Preview ft. New Jersey Devils

The New Jersey Devils the playoffs in the 2023-24 season after making it into the second round of the playoffs last season, and finished the season with a total of 81 points, a 38-39-5 record; With Jack Hughes and Nico Hischier in the midst of their primes, the New Jersey Devils really need to start to buckle down and put together the pieces for a contending team. The good news is that the New Jersey Devils have the benefit of having the 10th overall pick, which they could move to acquire a netminder, and they also have plenty of cap space to add other players as well. This coming offseason is a big one for the New Jersey Devils front office because after striking out on a netminder last offseason, the pressure to acquire a netminder this offseason is immense for GM Tom Fitzgerald, who might be on the hotseat if he can't find a way to fix the mess. Before the 2024 NHL Draft, the New Jersey Devils make two major trades New Jersey Devils acquire Jacob Markstrom, Matthew Coronato, 1st...

2024 Offseason Preview ft. St. Louis Blues

 The St. Louis Blues just missed out on the playoffs again in the 2023-24 season, and finished the season with a total of 92 points, a 43-33-6 record; St. Louis is one of those teams that has no direction, as they are stuck with a lot of aging players with bad contracts and are stuck in mediocracy unless they can find a way to move some of those contracts. Moving forward the Blues' primary goals should be trying to unload their bad contracts to gain picks and cap space and retool through the draft.  St. Louis has 8 draft picks in the 2024 NHL draft, this is who they should select. 2024 NHL Draft: 16-Michael Hage (C) 48-Spencer Gill (D) 56-Carson Wetsch (RW) 81-Timur Kol (D) 94-Hagen Burrows (LW) 113-Felix Lacerte (C) 145-Dawson Cowan (G) 209-Jan Golcic (D) 211-Maxim Velikov (RW) Though no big names jump out at you, this group of prospects is pretty solid and could play a vital role on the team a few years down the road. Retooling the Prospect pool is a long process, but the cr...
