Welcome to the beginning of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast's 2015 Pre-Season Series! Elan and Brian are officially turning the page on the offseason, and focusing now on getting you prepped and ready for those imminent draft day decisions.On this episode, we comb through the default draft rankings that dictate the drafting priorities of so many poolies, and then pick out the guys who are rated suspiciously high and unthinkably low. We break it down from top to bottom: from an overranked forward at 45th overall, to an NHL newbie ranked at 712th, and everywhere in between.Also, have Elan and Brian found this year's version of the Stastny vs. Pavelski bet?Players discussed on this episode include Kyle Okposo, Anders Lee, Artemi Panarin, Teuvo Teravainen, Nick Bjugstad, Alex Barkov, Torey Krug, Chris Kreider, Zdeno Chara, James van Riemsdyk, Ryan McDonagh, David Backes, Matt Duchene, Boone Jenner, Hampus Lindholm, Bryan Little, Ondrej Palat, Derek Stepan, Michael del Zotto, Erik Johnson, Ryan O'Reilly, Alex Tanguay, Mathieu Perreault, Shawn Matthias, Jake Muzzin, James Wisniewski, John Klingberg and more.Also, have you heard about our new fantasy league that we're designing from the bottom up to be the most fun, most competitive fantasy hockey league ever?

No. 70 - Crossing the Line
Every year, some NHL forwards make that esteemed leap from being pretty good point-getters to being all-out point-producing wizards. There's also the flipside: once-reliable top end scorers who find themselves moving in the other direction, to the point that they're suddenly not worth the high pick or keeper protection status that they've enjoyed for years on end.In this week's episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast, Elan and Brian pick out a handful of highly-regarded forwards that are crossing the line-- in either direction-- that separates the great fantasy producers from the elite. We go deep to give you all the reasons why some players should now be considered amongst the cream of the fantasy crop, and why there are others that you might want to let fall a couple more draft rounds than you normally would.Do you have a suggestion for a player that's crossing the line that we didn't cover on this week's show? Tweet us @keepingkarlsson to let us know who we missed!Players discussed on this episode include: Vladimir Tarasenko, Eric Staal, Thomas Vanek, Jakub Voracek, Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin, Ondrej Palat, Corey Perry, Nicklas Backstrom, Filip Forsberg and more.Also, have you heard about our new fantasy league that we're designing from the bottom up to be the most fun, most competitive fantasy hockey league ever?

Instead, give your head a shake, open up your favourite podcasting app, and push play for the 57th weekly edition of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast.Star players are snoozing left and right at the worst possible time, going AWOL for your most important weeks of the season. On this episode, Elan and Brian work through the snoozing studs to figure out which ones are worth waiting for, and which ones need to be swapped out for the hot hand, pronto. Particularly close attention is paid to seemingly contagious point droughts wreaking havoc in New York, Nashville and Pittsburgh.And there are plenty of hot hands to be found. We look to a recently-recalled winger in Columbus, a blossoming young scorer in Winnipeg, a "hot" Florida forward taking a big step forward, a Sabre that's offering a glimmer of his past self, and a new first line arrival in Edmonton.This show also includes a look at the goaltending situations in Vancouver and Ottawa. Has Brian finally bought in to the Hamburglar hype?And, of course, this edition features the latest injuries and outjuries, and all of their collateral effects on your fantasy roster and lineup decisions.Players discussed on this episode include Derek Stepan, Patrick Marleau, Melker Karlsson, Chris Kunitz, Mike Ribeiro, Colin Wilson, Martin St. Louis, Rick Nash, David Perron, Evgeni Malkin, Andrew Hammond, Eddie Lack, Marko Dano, Mark Scheifele, Brandon "Pirri" Pirri, Ryan Miller, Patric Hornqvist, Kris Versteeg, Sami Vatanen, every other Ducks defenseman, Kevin Hayes, Boone Jenner, Tomas Plekanec, Tyler Bozak, Mikael Granlund, Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Cam Talbot, Matt Moulson, Benoit Pouliot, and Taylor Hall.Ayee-pee aieeyouuu, aiee-pee ah yeah.
