Fantasy Hockey Faceoff: Trade deadline winners
Did you hear? The NHL trade deadline was this week (I know, the Canadian
sports media should really devote more time to this thing). And if
there's anything people like more than speculating on/making up trade
rumours in the weeks leading up to the deadline, it's anointing the
"winners" after the dust settles.
In this week's Fantasy Hockey Faceoff, we're focusing on the players
(not teams) we think will give their fantasy owners a boost following a
move on deadline day.

There's also NHL trade talk. With the deadline fast approaching, what

Suter? Should Nashville - and more NHL teams for that matter - push
their chips in for a run at the Cup?

move or two. If you're willing to take a calculated risk, I've got a
couple of suggestions for buy-low, sell-high trade proposals for fantasy
owners with nothing to lose.

Fantasy Hockey Faceoff: Who's starting in net?
It's a daily burden for fantasy players: finding out which of your
goalies will get the call to start (and which won't) so that active
netminders are in your starting lineup and the guys sitting out are on
your bench. Keep on top of this information, and you're more likely to
squeeze the maximum amount of points from your goalies, rather than
leaving valuable starts (and fantasy points) on the table at the end of
the season.
But how do you know who's starting every night? In this week's Fantasy
Hockey Faceoff, the guys share their secrets on how they stay abreast of
what's happening with their goalies.
