As someone who has been playing hockey fantasy pools for over
10 years, you are constantly seeking an edge or a player who can make a difference on your roster.
Whether you're playing head-to-head or various styles of hockey pools as a general manager, making trades, acquiring talent, and monitoring the waiver wire are all crucial strategies to secure victory in your playoff pool and potentially earn some money.
The upcoming NHL season is poised to be captivating as fantasy team managers make their player selections, considering the influx of new talent in recent years.
For rebuilding teams like the Flyers, the question remains: are there any players on this roster who will hold value for general managers? Depending on the layout of your pool, the Flyers do have several options that could make an impact.
Must read on FlyersInsider
Travis Konecny stands out as the best fantasy option for the Flyers. His point-per-game performance last year, coupled with the expectation of full health this season and playing for a contract next year, should boost his numbers and maximize his value for GMs. The return of
Sean Couturier will further support Konecny's performance, potentially propelling him beyond the 80-point mark in my opinion.
Carter Hart is undoubtedly the number-one goaltender in any NHL organization. Over the past two seasons, he has showcased his brilliance, offering the quality goaltending that the Flyers need for this season. Despite significant question marks surrounding their defensive core, it is anticipated that Hart could secure between 20 to 30 wins this season. Additionally, he could become a trade asset at the deadline if the Flyers find it challenging to negotiate a long-term deal with Hart.
Owen Tippett is poised for a remarkable season this year. After being traded from the Florida Panthers in exchange for former fan-favourite and superstar
Claude Giroux, Tippett must establish himself as a top-six forward and strive to surpass the 50-point mark. Naturally, his success hinges on his centerman, especially considering that
Kevin Hayes is no longer on the team. I anticipate Tippett being a strong contender for a high-point season this year.
Fantasy hockey always offers excitement for NHL fans. It provides them with the opportunity to manage a team, and if they approach team-building seriously, it could lead to considerable success and profitability through wagers with other players.
