NHL Fantasy Hockey: The Underrated Stats

Source: Bleacher Report NHL

When you talk about fantasy hockey with your buddies, it won’t take long till someone brings up how many goals Steven Stamkos has or how many assists Henrik Sedin has.  The discussion usually centers on goal, assist and point totals. However, the smart fantasy GM knows there are a few underrated stats that are extremely important.

Points, especially goals, garner all the highlights on TV. To be successful in your fantasy pool you can’t just look at points.  Time-on-ice per game, power play time-on-ice per game, and team penalty minutes per game are underrated stats that fantasy players don’t use to their potential.

Time-on-ice per game is exactly as it sounds; the average amount of time a player gets into the

The Canucks won their second straight President’s Trophy, finishing as the top team in the NHL this season.  However, this year, the team did it with a more balanced attack as their top offensive players saw dramatic decreases in their scoring totals.

2012 NHL Trade Deadline: Breaking Down the Last 5 Trades (Part 2)

Source: Bleacher Report NHL

The 2012 NHL Trade Deadline has passed, and teams have made moves to bolster line-ups for a playoff run or working on the rebuild.  Lets break down some of the transactions that went down before Monday's deadline.

 

Buffalo Sabres trade Paul Gaustad and a fourth-round draft pick in 2012 to the Nashville Predators for a first-round draft pick in 2012.

Gaustad is the kind of player teams want to add for a playoff run.  He is an aggressive, defensive forward who can chip win with 10-12 goals a season. 

As an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, he is a rental, but he will be an effective player for the Predators during their playoff run.
