HOW CALGARY FLAMES CAN WIN THE STANLEY CUP

The Calgary Flames have gotten off to a terrific start to the season, but have cooled off since getting off to a red hot start. In order for Calgary to have a legitimate shot at winning the Stanley Cup this year, they need to add some pieces to the team. This is how the Calgary Flames could improve their chances to win the Stanley Cup this year.



Needs for the Calgary Flames:

1. Top 4 LD

2. Top 6 Winger

3. Goal Scoring Depth


The biggest weakness of the Calgary Flames is the left side of their defense. Noah Hanifin, Oliver Kylington, and Nikita Zadorov may be good enough for the regular season, but if the Flames are to make a deep playoff run, they need to really improve the left side of their defense and their defense in general. 

Although the Flames have enough goal-scoring from their top 6, it is always a good idea to add a proven veteran player with playoff experience to their top 6. In addition, Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan have not had great performances in past playoff series, so they will need to add a top 6 winger if they are to make a deep run in the playoffs.

In the Playoffs, goal-scoring depth is very important, so the Calgary Flames need to add some more offensive depth to fill out their lineup. Knowing Darryl Sutter's coaching style, it would be better to get players an gritty, two way forwards, and highly versatile. 


Trades:

Calgary Flames trade Nikita Zadorov, Dillon Dube to the Montreal Canadiens for Ben Chiarot, Tyler Toffoli. Montreal retains 1 million of Tyler Toffoli's annual cap hit.

Calgary Flames add Ben Chiarot to bolster the depth on the left side of their defense and Tyler Toffoli can fill and need in their top 6.

Calgary Flames trade Michael Stone, Brett Ritchie, 4th round pick '23 to the Arizona Coyotes for Johan Larsson

The Flames get Johan Larsson, a versatile 4th line player who can take faceoffs, and chip in on the penalty kill.


This is what the lineup would look like in the playoffs:




J.Gaudreau-E.Lindholm-M.Tkachuk

A.Mangiapane-S.Monahan-T.Toffoli

M.Lucic-M.Backlund-B.Coleman

J.Larsson-B.Richardson-T.Lewis

B.Chiarot-R.Andersson

N.Hanifin-C.Tanev

O.Kylington-E.Gudbranson

J.Markstrom

D.Vladar

 

With the moves made here, this team looks poised to make a deep playoff run and potentially win the Stanley Cup.

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). If the league uses Rotisserie or Points settings, you will have to take that...

Fantasy Hockey All Star Edition Defenseman

 These are the best defenseman so far this season in Fantasy Hockey: Rasmus Dahlin Rasmus Dahlin has been by far the best defenseman in Fantasy this season, and it isn't close; he has 13 goals, 35 assists, 23 PPP, 119 SOG and a +16 rating on a bad Buffalo team. If Dahlin can sustain this type of production for the rest of the season, he will be a favorite to win the Norris trophy. Cale Makar Cale Makar has been a tad bit disappointing considering he was a top 5 pick in most fantasy drafts, but he is still having a fantastic season; he has tallied 13 goals, 30 assists, 21 PPP, 136 SOG, along with 3 GWG and a +7 rating. His dip in production may be due in large part to the injuries on Colorado, but as the team gets healthy, look for a strong second half from Cale Makar and Colorado. Roman Josi Roman Josi has once again been the best player for the Nashville Predators, putting up 12 goals, 23 assists, 17 PPP, 187 SOG, 4 GWG and a surprising 100 blocks, which is only 33 shy of last yea...

Fantasy Hockey Advice Players to Trade Away

Here are some players you should Trade Away: Brock Nelson Brock Nelson has a track record of having hot starts to the season and then cooling off in the second half of the season. Nelson already has 11 goals, 22 points, and 6 PPP so far this season, but his best scoring season was last year when he had 37 goals and 59 points. It's already established what type of player Brock Nelson is, he is a player who excels in the first half of the season but cools off in the second half. For this reason, it would be best to trade away Brock Nelson.  Dominik Kubalik Dominik Kubalik is arguably the biggest steal in fantasy hockey this season, as he wasn't drafted in many leagues, however, his hot start has him rostered in 81% of Fantasy leagues. Kubalik has 9 goals, 13 assists, 10 PPP, and is a +4 so far this season, playing on a line with Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond and Detroit's 1st PP unit. It would be a good idea to trade Kubalik now while his value is sky-high. Martin Necas Mart...
