Fantasy Hockey: Projected Top 300 NHL Scorers 2018-19

Ah training camps around the NHL started this week, and fantasy hockey managers and poolies are starting to do their research.  No matter what type of hockey pool you’re in, you should be educated about the various stats.  We like to focus on your traditional goals, assists, points etc, but fantasy hockey leagues have become much more complicated requiring a steady review of Injury Reserve (IR) lists and checking latest roster moves.

Unlike previous seasons, there has been a lot of moves prior to training camps beginning, culminating with the trade of Erik Karlsson from the Ottawa Senators to the San Jose Sharks. Patches going to Vegas, the high flying Winnipeg Jets, the reborn Toronto Maple Leafs and potential resurgence of the St. Louis Blues, there are a lot of factord to consider as you draft your fantasy hockey teams this year.  It is also worth noting that with another potential work stoppage looming for the NHL next season, you will truly want to enjoy your hockey pool experience this season.
