    Lightbulb Resources to win your league

    in prepping my keepers for next year...and getting ready for the playoffs i put together this list of sites for myself. Maybe it will help out others.

    Most of these are free resources - so take advantage, and win those leagues.


    Checking Salaries
    capgeek.com
    Nhlnumbers.com

    Checking all lines (good to see who plays on the Power Plays)
    http://hockey.dobbersports.com/
    FrozenPool - Last 3 Games
    Dailyfaceoff.com - Thiefs!
    LeftWingLock.com - Starting Goalies

    Checking Stats for players (additionally good for checking playoff stats, sort by Points Per Game - good time to do it now!)
    http://www.eliteprospects.com/

    Live Games + seeing all goals scored (see what kind of goals your fantasy players are scoring - can gauge skill going forward)
    Nhl.com (duh)

    #1 most important advice: use as many tools as possible. Even if a site is less useful they offer different points of view and will highlight different players. It gives you more food for thought to formulate your own final opinion that applies to your league.

    Also, don't just look for freebies. Invest a few dollars for some more in-depth publications (fantasy guide, prospects report, other sites).

    Fantasyhockeygeek is fantastic for league-specific value. However it only shows you what has been done and can only be used as an indicator of what is to come. Guys with fewer GP that season obviously get ranked lower so you have to catch this to know what that player might offer next year.

    Prospects:
    dobberprospects
    hockeysfuture
    hockeyprospectus
    hockey news forecaster (the player bios can sometimes offer useful tidbits)

    Use them all as they each offer something. Some more than others but nobody can do every prospect justice.

    Nice - love the prospect sites... need to get my keepers in check!

    and +1 for the forums - always get good ideas from there.

    Yah for whatever reason i always looked at paid sites as cheating (haha) but obviously that's probably were the good stuff is at.

    Also, Daily Faceoff stole the line combos idea from Frozen Pool.

    Here's a direct link to the last three games lines (I use those a lot):

    www.leftwinglock.com for starting goalies, they also have a useful tool for H2H leagues where you can calculate your's or your opponents goalie stats in different scenarios.

    A random tool that I also came across late in this season: http://www.fantasysp.com/start-sit-tool/nhl .... I didnt use it a lot but could be useful

    Of course rjfisher's same night tool tha he posts i the forum is very valuable for H2H leagues: - http://forums.dobbersports.com/showt...ght=night+tool

    there was also this thread from 2010 that gets the odd update - http://forums.dobbersports.com/showt...ght=night+tool

    I enjoy using roto-world for daily player updates. CBS fantasy actually does a nice job in the pre-season at giving individual player breakdowns (or at least they did in the past). Typically you wouldn't think of them as a resource but they had a fair amount of content
    I once traded Henrik Lundqvist and Ilya Kovalchuk in return for Peter Budaj and Henrik Zetterberg… have lived in shame ever since.

    Not the only thing daily faceoff has stolen through the years. They used to steal starting goalie info from leftwinglock a few years ago. I won't even visit their site. Bunch of jackals.
    GO WINGS!
