Previewing Fantasy Hockey With NHL.com’s Matt Sitkoff

Looking for a competitive edge in fantasy hockey? You have come to the right place.

This week, we talked fantasy hockey with one of the best in the business. NHL.com’s Matt Sitkoff joined us to help set up the upcoming season. We hit a lot of topics.

Whether you are looking for rankings, or sleepers, or even draft day strategy, this interview has you covered. Sitkoff spent more than 40 minutes with us giving you hints and tips that will give you an edge on the competition.

Who will go first overall in drafts? How will familiar faces do in new places? Which players aren’t getting enough attention, but will help you win your league? How should you approach your draft? Is Connor McDavid a first-round pick? When should you consider taking Jack Eichel? Would you rather own Victor Hedman or Drew Doughty? Which newly drafted players not named McDavid or Eichel will have an impact this season? It’s not who you think.
