Fantasy Hockey Week 3 Preview: Oct 20-26

Islanders General Manager Garth Snow has been criticized – rightfully so – for nearly every move he’s made in his role with the team. From the ludicrous Rick DiPietro extension to the horrible failure of the Matt Moulson Thomas Vanek swap and the ensuing Vanek dump off. Coming into the 2014-15 Snow’s team was once again considered to be one of the league’s cellar dwellers and a favorite to land prospect Connor McDavid in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.

Behind captain and phenom John Tavares the Islanders are young and considered to be thin on talent beyond the first line. Credit needs to be given to their GM for a pair of deals made on the eve of the season that are a big reason for their spot on top of the Metropolitan division. Snow addressed the team’s weak, inexperienced defensive corps with the additions of both Nick Leddy and Johnny Boychuk who combine for 133 games of NHL playoff experience. More impressively and more pertinent to us in the Fake Hockey game, is that the latter addition ranks as the 7th best player in Y! standard scoring format play.

So with that tip of the hat to the man in charge of the team who had the longest undefeated streak to open the season, let’s get ready for the second matchup of the season with the Fantasy Hockey Week 3 Preview.
