On this episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast, it's the uncut, unedited, four hour livestream extravaganza from Keeping Karlsson Ultimate Patron Fantasy League's Tier 1 Championship Tier's Auction Draft!
This auction draft features 14 of the top fantasy managers in the world, drafting from 6 different countries on 3 different continents, building their teams to compete for ultimate glory in the most prestigious fantasy hockey league on the planet, the KKUPFL.
The list of Tier 1 managers who've climbed the ranks to compete at the top of the KKUPFL this year includes Elan (Toronto), Lewis Ezekiel (Kalamazoo) and Ben Burnett (Saint John) from Short Shifts, Dave Betten (Pittsburgh) from Stream Scheme, Marcas Callanain (Dublin) from Stat Attack, along with past Keeping Karlsson guests Jesse Severe (Milwaukee), Jeff Good (Maine) and Tom Crowhurst (Belleville), and of course defending champion Max Fredrickson (Victoria). Joe Attila (Vienna), Dustin Au (London UK), Jordan Beach (Edmonton), Michael McClintock (Brisbane), and Mike Ryan (Boston) round out the group.
Listen in to not only hear the draft happen live and get takes on the picks that are made, but to also learn from their strategies and get incredible tips on roster construction and management from co-host Jon Neuhold, manager of the highest-scoring team in the entire KKUPFL for the 2019-20 season. Jon also regularly shares whether picks were above, below or right on the nose compared to the values he'd set for them himself heading into the draft.
Brian and Jon are joined by several managers throughout the episode as they come on to share their draft thoughts, feelings and schemes.. and occasionally defend moves that Brian and Jon picked on.
And, of course, Elan shares his thoughts on The Queen's Gambit around the 3 hour mark.

No. 317 - Smörgoåliesbord 2021!!
It's the annual Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast Smörgoåliesbord!!
Feast your ears on this two hour-plus episode in which we partake in our annual tradition of tiering every freaking gosh-darned dadblasted goalie in the league for your fantasy hockey draft, in the stubborn belief that there is any possibility that past goalie performance and our guts can help predict future goalie success and failure.
The episode begins with a crash course in why we tier and the numbers Brian uses to evaluate goalies and project their performances in the season ahead. From there, Elan and Brian place 68 goaltenders into 7 tiers (and 4 sub-tiers!), using analytics and gut to justify every single choice as best they can.

No. 315 - Mocking Yahoo
On this episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast, we take part in one of our favourite annual traditions: finding the biggest mistakes in Yahoo!'s default draft rankings! We compare theirs to ours to find the greatest market inefficiences that you can take advantage of in your drafts.
Combing through Yahoo!'s rankings, top to bottom, we name more than 50(!) players who are going to be over- or under-rated (or even just plain forgotten) by anyone just going by that default list. So, on this episode, you'll hear our top candidates for 'let someone else take them there,' 'would be amazing if you can get him at that spot', and 'sneaky great late round flyer'.

No. 313 - Second Attempt In Learning
On this episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast, it's time for us to hold ourselves accountable-- again!-- for all we predicted and projected way, way, way, way, way, way back in the summer of 2019.
Elan and Brian have compared their 2019-20 NHL fantasy skater projections against what actually ended up happening. In last week's show, we looked at players who exceeded our expectations by the most; this week, we look at the players whose output was closest to our projections, working to learn whether we were really good or just lucky. We then move on to doing our best to explain and understand the players who underperformed our projections by the greatest amount.
We revisit direct quotes (and arguments) from our 2019-20 Audio Almanac and look under the hood to see if we were wrong to be so high on a player, or if a player was wrong to score so many fewer points than they should have.

Elan and Brian have compared their 2019-20 NHL fantasy skater projections against what actually ended up happening, and take this week's show to try and explain and understand the players who outperformed our projections by the greatest amount.
We revisit direct quotes (and arguments) from our 2019-20 Audio Almanac and look under the hood to see if we were wrong to be so low on a player, or if a player was wrong to score so many more points than they should have.
We also name a few players who we were pretty much exactly right about. We'll talk about more of them, plus the biggest underperformers, on an episode to come.

No. 310 - Because it's the KKUPFL
On this episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast, Elan and Brian announce Season 6 of the Keeping Karlsson Ultimate Patron Fantasy League!
We kick off this week's show with an exclusive interview with the reigning undisputed(?) KKUPFL Ultimate Champion, Max, who shares his keys to winning Season 5 and imparts some wisdom and advice for those who want to follow in his footsteps.
After that, we share all the details on KKUPFL Season 6. We go deep into how to build a fantasy league-- points vs categories, H2H vs roto, trading and free agency, draft types, transaction limits, point weightings, keep managers active-- and explain all the choices we've made (and not made) along the way in building the KKUPFL. We also unveil brand new Season 6 features like the Tier 1 Fast-Track and FAB trading, and wonder aloud if benches should be banished.

No. 308 - Dynasty Boys
On this episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast, Elan and Brian are joined by prospects writer and podcaster (and Keeping Karlsson patron!) Victor Nuño to break down and analyze Elan's first every Dynasty League prospects draft.
All players with fewer than 82 NHL Games Played are eligible to be drafted, and so the draft features a really interesting mix of players and prospects drafted in each of the last 3+ seasons who either haven't yet made their debuts, or who have had one season or less to show something encouraging-- or not-- to their potential managers.
Elan, Brian and Victor spend the show giving their takes on the reaches, steals and sleepers of the first 3 rounds and beyond.
See the draft results here. ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u9rX-Hy0DCesCkxs_Fp3ndsqr6IkjeTo/view )
And follow Victor on Twitter @VictorNuno12, ( https://twitter.com/VictorNuno12 ) read his writing at The Hockey Writers ( https://thehockeywriters.com/author/vnuno/ ) , and hear him on the Fantasy Hockey Life Podcast. ( https://twitter.com/FanHockeyLife )
