The longest-running Fantasy Hockey Podcast in the world. Analytical, self-aware, occasionally prophetic. Doing our part to make sure Fantasy Hockey Is For Everyone.
Stuffing: both a delicious part of a Thanksgiving meal, and the act of covering as many players and teams as possible on the latest episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast!Elan and Brian talk turkeys and non-turkeys alike on this edition of the show, with attention paid right off the bat to injuries and flu-like symptoms in the Montreal, Winnipeg and Anaheim creases.A glut of injuries and Outjuries take centre stage throughout the show, as we look to find value in player promotions in Buffalo, Montreal, New York, St. Louis, New Jersey and Edmonton.We also have a look at the curious case of an NHL veteran who is suddenly upping his shooting and goal-scoring numbers to levels not seen since the prime of his career, and another longtime producer who may be finding his game again after a disastrous outing in 2014-15.This episode also includes a look at a few snoozers around the league (one at each position!), a couple depth D streaming options, a number of top producers who deserve kudos for their work so far this season, and a very cringeworthy/barely sensible pun.Players discussed on this episode include: Mike Condon, Alex Galchenyuk, Connor Hellebuyck, Evander Kane, Ryan Strome, John Gibson, Jason Spezza, Thomas Vanek, Evgeni Malkin, Sidney Crosby, Patric Hornqvist, Brandon Pirri, Paul Stastny, David Savard, Colton Parayko, Kevin Shattenkirk, Sam Reinhart, Ryan Johansen, Brandon Saad, Boone Jenner, Jack Johnson, Chris Kreider, JT Miller, Derek Stepan, Justin Schultz, Semyon Varlamov, Brendan Gallagher, Carey Price, Jori Lehtera, Michael Hutchinson, David Backes, Alex Steen, Nail Yakupov, Tyler Ennis, Patrik Elias, Travis Zajac, Lee Stempniak, David Perron, Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang, Cam Fowler, Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Brian Elliott, Jake Allen, and more.* * *Download this episode, subscribe, and review us on iTunes!If you enjoy the show, please support future episodes by becoming a patron of Keeping Karlsson.

No. 83 - Nilsson Schmilsson
On the 83rd instalment of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast, we increase the goalie content to lead off this week's show. 'Tenders are struggling everywhere you look, and Elan and Brian break down the short- and long-term future of starter jobs in Anaheim, Colorado, Arizona, Edmonton and Chicago, including some reserved excitement for a Winnipeg call-up looking to make a strong first impression in his hopefully imminent first NHL start.We then begin our tour around the NHL's hot streaks and line changes by lavishing unexpected praise upon a young Western Conference forward who has taken his share of beatings on the show over the last 13 months-- we tell you what he's doing, why you should be happy about it, and why we might actually be believers this time around.That roundup also includes a member of the family in San Jose, an ever-fluctuation Tampa top-six, minor shuffling in Winnipeg, surprising non-shuffling in Detroit, and obviously Edmonton, where we talk about a new entry into the top six, a recent exit out of it, and then go on to mention Draisaitl's name roughly one hundred and forty two times.The show also covers some likely free agent defencemen who could be good multi-cat and streaming options for the next shot while, including a Ranger, a Capital, a Flyer and kind of a Cane but not really.This episode also features a handful of snoozers peppered throughout-- these are guys who are likely owned in your league, possibly even by you(!), whose worth to their owners needs to be seriously re-evaluated. We tAnd finally, the show caps off with a Lightning Round featuring more players than initially promised, including Washington's scoring leader, a crowded second line in Florida, and a still-got-it scorer in Toronto.Players discussed on this episode include Frederik Andersen, Cory Schneider, Anton Khudobin, Reto Berra, Tanner Pearson, Tyler Toffoli, Vladislav Namestnikov, Nikita Kucherov, Mike Smith, Anders Lindback, Drew Stafford, Nik Ehlers, Teddy Purcell, Nail Yakupov, Leon Draisaitl, Jussi Jokinen, Evgeni Kuznetsov, Brandon Pirri, Shane Gostisbehere, P.A.

No. 79 - What the Devil?
While Elan is off doing god knows what in Vegas, Brian takes the reins on this edition of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast.Brian isn't going at it alone, though-- Hockey PDOcast's Dimitri Filipovic steps in to guest host as we fly through this week's most pertinent poolie particulars. We look at an unusually high volume in changes to top lines across the NHL, including those in Columbus, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Vancouver, Chicago, Long Island, Dallas and Florida, as well as the newest opportunities available to some hungry up-and-comers that might just be ready to start producing.We also compare the production of the players on two of the hottest lines in the league-- these guys are not only putting up points, but they're doing it while wearing NHL crests long associated with scoring scarcity and boring hockey (though that reputation may be proving harder to shake for one particular locale).Players discussed on this episode include Nick Bjugstad, Brent Seabrook, Adam Henrique, Pascal Dupuis, James Neal, Lee Stempniak, Trevor van Riemsdyk, Dmitri Jaskin, Jori Lehtera, Mattias Janmark, Mike Cammalleri, Erik Karlsson, Colton Parayko, Duncan Keith, Alex Barkov, Jaromir Jagr, Jaden Schwartz, Mike Green, Brendan Smith, Niklas Kronwall, Evander Kane, Matt Moulson, Johan Larsson, Teemu Pulkkinen, Paul Stastny, David Backes, Scotty Upshall, Jonathan Huberdeau, Michael Neuvirth, Steve Mason, Jaroslav Halak, Thomas Greiss, Chris Kunitz, David Perron, Ryan Johansen, Brandon Dubinsky, Radim Vrbata, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Ryan Strome, Kyle Okposo, Matthew Nieto, Joel Ward, Viktor Tikhonov, Antti Raanta, Mike Fisher, Mike Ribeiro, James Neal, Trevor Daley, Andrei Markov, Alex Semin, Jeff Skinner, Patrick Sharp, Max Domi, Tobias Rieder, Anthony Duclair, Sergei Bobrovsky, Craig Anderson and more.Be sure to check out Hockey PDOcast on the web, on iTunes, on soundcloud, and on Patreon!And we highly recommend you follow Dimitri on Twitter @DimFilipovic.* * *Download this episode, subscribe, and review us on iTunes!If you enjoy the show, please support future episodes by becoming a patron of Keeping Karlsson.

Hockey's back! Hockey's back!!! And on this episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast, Elan and Brian finally get to stack up a summer's worth of prognostication against a precious few games worth of real-life action.We've followed a thousand storylines into the season, and it seems like another thousand have already popped up: the first stars of the 2014 draft class coming of age, KHL crossovers starting in stride, fantasy stars of the not-so-distant past continuing to produce into "old age," and so much more. We're bringing you a super-long edition of the show this week to get you caught up on all that's happened in 5 short days, and how you can use it all to maneuver your fantasy team into the best possible position in these early but crucial days of the 2015-16 season.Players discussed on this episode include (*takes deep breath*): Artemi Panarin, Teuvo Teravainen, Oscar Lindberg, Dylan Larkin, Justin Abdelkader, Nikolaj Ehlers, Mark Scheifele, Mathieu Perreault, Robby Fabbri, Jori Lehtera, David Backes, Jonas Donskoi, Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau, Brandon Sutter, Daniel Sedin, Radim Vrbata, Alex Burmistrov, Francois Beauchemin, Mike Cammalleri, Jarome Iginla, Alex Tanguay, David Krejci, Jaromir Jagr, Ales Hemsky, Eric Staal, Christian Ehrhoff, Henrik Sedin, Robin Lehner, Chad Johnson, Jonas Hiller, Kari Ramo, Ben Scrivens, Jonathan Bernier, James Reimer, Kyle Okposo, Ryan Strome, Rasmus Ristolainen, Cody Franson, Cody Eakin, Mattias Janmark, Ryan Murray, Jack Johnson, David Savard, Anton Slepyshev, Milan Lucic, Dustin Brown, Sergei Plotnikov, Chris Kunitz, David Perron, Antti Niemi, Brian Elliott, Jake Allen, Cam Ward, Eddie Lack, Andrew Shaw, Ryan Garbutt, Brad Richards, Joel Edmundsen, Robert Bortuzzo, Jake Muzzin, Drew Doughty, Jonathan Quick, Jhonas Enroth, James Wisniewski, Noah Hanifin, Ryan Murphy, Justin Faulk, Zach Hyman, Martin Hanzal, Tobias Rieder, Max Domi, Mike Hoffman, Bo Horvat, Jared McCann, and probably more but I'm just about done typing the names of hockey players for the rest of my life.

On this episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast, Elan and Brian share some notable trends they've noticed in their fantasy drafts, and help you begin to build your watchlist and make your first FA acquisitions of the 2015-16 seasons.After picking our jaws up off the floor, we go on to try to make sense of Dano's AHL assignment, and consider a multitude of unexpected opportunities presenting themselves in Edmonton and elsewhere around the league due to early injuries. We also openly wonder about the updated fantasy value of one of last year's most surprising starters, an under-the-radar pick from last year who was understandably abandoned by most of his owners, a young Canuck on somewhat of an island, and a couple new names making impressions on preseason scoresheets.Players discussed on this episode include Marko Dano, Artemi Panarin, Andrew Shaw, Jordan Eberle, Anton Slepyshev, TJ Brodie, Dougie Hamilton, Zach Bogosian, Cody Franson, Andrew Hammond, Craig Anderson, Matt O'Connor, Kyle Baun, Andreas Athanasiou, Bo Horvat, Jori Lehtera, Patrick Maroon, Leon Draisatl, Anton Lander, Nail Yakupov, Brad Richards, Dennis Wideman, Kris Russell, Justin Abdelkader and more.* * *Download this episode, subscribe, and review us on iTunes!If you enjoy the show, please support future episodes by becoming a patron of Keeping Karlsson.

On this episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast, Elan and Brian put on their robes and wizard hats to do some conjuring of their own, picking out some of the more prominent exhibition pre-season storylines that should factor in to your regular season preparations.Specifically, we highlight a handful of overlooked players who are making noise in training camps around the league-- some who are looking to renew lapsed production habits, and others who are looking to make their first real impact at the NHL level.Players discussed on this episode include Tyler Ennis, Paul Stastny, David Krejci, Elias Lindholm, Jeff Skinner, Teemu Pulkkinen, Yevgeni Medvedev, Joonas Donskoi, David Pastrnak, Evander Kane, Karri Ramo, Joni Ortio, Jori Lehtera, Michael del Zotto and more. * * *Download this episode, subscribe, and review us on iTunes!If you enjoy the show, please support future episodes by becoming a patron of Keeping Karlsson.

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?
