MCKEEN’S 2019-20 YEARBOOK: Sharing the Crease – How the emergence of the goaltender tandem could change your drafting needs

Catherine Silverman — Mon, 09 Sep 2019 21:17:41 +0000

For decades upon decades, the NHL was largely a one-goaltender league. Exceptions were made for the very old, the very young, and the not-very-good — and of course, every team technically had two goaltenders in the lineup on any given night. But if a team had found a goaltender good enough to win them games, they did their best to give him every opportunity to do that — literally.

No part of the game has undergone a more drastic change than goaltending, though. The position has gone from being one of the most stationary in the game to arguably the most physically demanding, requiring both fine-tuned mechanics and immense levels of core strength.

The game was once played from a goaltender’s skates, with a handful of diving saves and sprawling poke checks to keep things interesting. Now, it’s largely played from a goaltender’s knees, relying on that core strength to add an extra height dimension to an already-impressive range of mobility in order to keep up with the way shooters keep finding new ways to score. It’s no longer a game that relies purely on instinct; there’s an immense amount of athleticism required now, too.

The best goaltenders in the game know how to take care of their bodies, and they’re all in good enough shape to handle the rigors of the modern game. But the human body can only withstand so much without getting ample recovery time, and goaltenders don’t play games in shifts; with at least 60 minutes of action each night and both practice and travel to account for, the NHL season doesn’t leave much left in the tank.

The Jonathan Quicks and Braden Holtbys of the NHL have proven that they can handle a massive regular season workload without losing their ability to drag their teams into the playoffs, but teams have finally started to figure out that 60- and 70-game seasons don’t leave their goaltenders in the kind of shape to steal games when the postseason rolls around. Goaltenders who have played heavy workloads behind defensively inconsistent teams have struggled to make it out of the first round in the last handful of years — fans need to look no farther than Frederik Andersen and Andrei Vasilevskiy for proof of that — and even those that do make it out have struggled more and more as the playoffs go on.

That realization has brought about a major shift in goaltender deployment. Where teams used to have a clear starter and a passable (but oftentimes unremarkable) backup, more and more have embraced the idea of having a pair of number one caliber goaltenders instead of a number one and a number two. The ‘starting goalie controversy’ of years past has died — and for fantasy owners, that’s a shift that could have massive ramifications on how teams are assembled.

Last season produced an almost unheard-of Vezina finalist trio. Andrei Vasilevskiy, the ultimate winner, shoulder the clear bulk of his team’s workload in net during the year — but the other two finalist, Dallas’ Ben Bishop and New York’s Robin Lehner, each played as one half of a clearly embraced tandem. They weren’t alone, either; the Boston Bruins used a strongly reliable Jaroslav Halak to split up starter Tuukka Rask’s workload, rendering him rested enough for an incredibly strong run to the Cup Final.

The league should see even more teams embrace the tandem mentality this year, and not just because they boast a pair of unknowns or underperformers. The Arizona Coyotes have gone on record saying they hope to be able to balance Antti Raanta and Darcy Kuemper to keep both well-rested, while the Chicago Blackhawks are likely prepared to split starts for Corey Crawford and the aforementioned Lehner while the Islanders add Semyon Varlamov to their tandem, instead. Even if Jonathan Quick bounces back, the Kings will likely meter his starts alongside resurgent star Jack Campbell, and a similar bounce-back for Cory Schneider would still almost certainly result in nothing more than a split net in New Jersey between him and MacKenzie Blackwood.

For fantasy owners, this means a larger chance that drafting a good goaltender means he’ll get starts — and in theory, a smaller chance that he’ll get injured from overuse. There’s a larger pool of quality goaltenders to choose from now, meaning that there’s a higher likelihood of good performances coming for at least one goaltender owned on any given night.

The downside, of course, is that it also means that there will be fewer goaltenders available to draft that will be capable of logging points purely from a game volume perspective. Carey Price, Sergei Bobrovsky, Andrei Vasilevskiy, and Frederik Andersen are all likely to shoulder massive workloads again this year, and the uncertainty in Colorado and Columbus surrounding a pair of largely unproven goaltenders in Pavel Francouz and Elvis Merzlikins — combined on both teams with a lack of help available in the minors — means that both of those teams could end up seeing a starter-dominant deployment next year as well.

For most teams, though, there should be more wealth to choose from when picking up goaltenders for fantasy teams. And for those scouring the prospect market for their keeper leagues, young goaltenders will no longer be quite as much of a risk. More teams are willing to give up-and-comers ample workloads alongside their already-proven stars, meaning that young AHL goaltenders with good numbers could be good sleeper picks just a year or two down the line. Prospects like Cal Petersen, Michael DiPietro, Joseph Woll, and even Alex Nedeljkovic will likely see their NHL call-ups sooner rather than later and could get plenty of action when they do get those nods.

Carolina Hurricanes

There’s some cautious optimism that this might be the season Carolina ends its nine-season playoff drought, but the Hurrianes’ chances took a blow before the season even started. Victor Rask sustained a hand injury that will cost him months and perhaps the hardest part of it to swallow is the fact that he was hurt in the kitchen and not the ice.

The one thing Carolina did better than any team last season was win faceoffs (54.1%) and Rask was a significant part of that (54.9%) as were Derek Ryan (56.5%) and Elias Lindholm (54.5%), who are no longer with the team. Those two departures combined with Rask’s tough-luck injury have created a void up the middle that there is no clear answer for. Sebastian Aho has been tested as a center, but coach Rod Brind’Amour hasn’t liked what he’s seen there.

Lucas Wallmark might end up making the team, especially given the Hurricanes’ need for centers right now. He excelled in the AHL last season with 17 goals and 55 points in 45 contests. He also got into 11 games with Carolina, but averaged just 9:30 minutes and recorded a single goal.

Outside of the center issues, the Hurricanes’ other big focus has been Andrei Svechnikov, who is fighting for a roster spot after being taken with the second overall pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. It wouldn’t be surprising to at least see him get a nine-game trial with Carolina so that the Hurricanes can test him out in the regular season before coming to a final decision.

Columbus Blue Jackets

When everyone’s healthy, Columbus has a strong blueline, but that ideal isn’t what the Blue Jackets will start with. Seth Jones suffered a second-degree MCL sprain on Tuesday, which is projected to sideline him for four-to-six weeks. Needless to say, losing Jones is a far bigger deal to Columbus than Murray. Jones has been a top-tier defenseman for a while now, but he found another level in 2017-18 with 16 goals and 57 points while averaging 24:36 minutes per game. That led to him finishing fourth in Norris Trophy voting.

To further complicate the situation, Ryan Murray isn’t expected to be ready for the start of the season. Injuries have plagued Murray’s career and in this case it’s a groin issue that will cost him time. When the Blue Jackets were only looking at dealing with the absence of Murray, there was speculation that Markus Nutivaara might be slotted into as David Savard’s partner – at least until Murray was available as an alternative. It’d be a big opportunity for Nutivaara after he averaged just 16:02 minutes in 2017-18, but it’s worth noting that he did a fair amount offensively in that role with seven goals and 23 points in 61 games. Now that Jones is out too, the Blue Jackets need to scramble to find new pairings, but this just makes it more likely that Nutivaara will be on the second pairing, whether it’s with Savard or someone else should Savard get bumped to the top unit. Nutivaara might also be asked to serve on the second power-play unit now that Jones is out.

At least the Blue Jackets also got some positive news on the injury front as Zach Werenski is on track to play in the season opener. He underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum after playing with the problem for most of 2017-18. That injury might have been part of the reason he went from recording 47 points as a rookie to 37 points as a sophomore, so he could have a nice bounce back this season provided he’s healthy. If Columbus had to enter the season without Werenski and Jones, it would have created a massive void, but at least it appears they’re narrowing avoiding that nightmare scenario.

New Jersey Devils

Cory Schneider had an up-and-down 2017-18 campaign, but rather than wonder if he can be consistent going forward, the more immediate question is if he’ll be available. He had hip surgery over the summer and while he has practiced during training camp, he hasn’t gotten into a preseason game. That puts his status for New Jersey’s opener on Oct. 6 very much in question.

Keith Kinkaid would start in Schneider’s absence and given how well Kinkaid did down the stretch last season, if Schneider ends up missing a meaningful amount of time, Kinkaid could take that opportunity to make a strong case to steal the starting gig. Meanwhile, veteran goalie Eddie Lack is projected to make the Devils’ opening game roster if Schneider isn’t ready.

At least the Devils sorted out a different question mark on Sept. 22 when they signed Miles Wood to a four-year, $11 million contract. Wood missed the start of training camp as a RFA contract holdout, but these events might favor New Jersey in the long run. Giving Wood four years is a risk given that he still has more to prove, but the 23-year-old forward had an encouraging 19 goals, 32 points, and 84 penalty minutes in 76 contests last season, so if he continues to develop than he should more than live up to that contract.

New York Islanders

Luca Sbisa joined the Islanders’ training camp on a tryout basis and ended up securing a one-year, $1.5 million contract with time to spare. In doing so, the Islanders have created a logjam on the blueline with eight different defensemen signed to one-way contracts. They also have Dennis Seidenberg participating in their camp on a tryout basis, but it’s hard to see him earning a one-way contract after Sbisa already signed.

Of course, the big question for the Islanders going into the season is how their top two forward lines will shake out. John Tavares signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs naturally created a big hole that no one on the team is capable of truly filling. The Islanders are fortunate in the sense that Mathew Barzal excelled as a rookie in 2017-18, so they at least have a strong first-line center even without Tavares, but then who do they put on the second line? Brock Nelson might end up getting that gig. He’s been tried out with some of the Islanders’ top wingers during camp, including Anders Lee, Jordan Eberle, and Josh Bailey. Nelson is obviously going to be a huge step down from John Tavares, but taking Nelson on his own merits, he might end up being an okay second-line center.

One player that won’t be trying to fill that offensive void left by Tavares, at least not at the start of the season, is Joshua Ho-Sang. The Islanders have already reassigned him to the AHL, which has to be extremely disappointing for the 2014 first-round pick. Ho-Sang hasn’t been able to establish himself as quickly as some hoped and now it seems that even the fresh start he was provided by the Islanders changing their general manager and coach hasn’t moved things in a positive direction.

New York Rangers

The Rangers will began the rebuilding process last season and gave this new era a face when they hired David Quinn to serve as the new head coach straight from Boston University. A new coach on a rebuilding team creates a golden opportunity for young players and it looks like Filip Chytil has taken advantage of that. Chytil has been one of the Rangers’ standouts and given Quinn’s philosophy of having his best nine forwards serve on the top-nine regardless of positional considerations, Quinn should find a way to give Chytil healthy opportunities in the regular season provided the 19-year-old forward continues to impress.

Not everyone has had as strong a camp though and Jimmy Vesey might not have done enough to earn more than a fourth-line spot out of the gate. Vesey might be playing alongside Vladislav Namestnikov on that unit, which would be a huge step down from most of 2017-18 when Namestnikov was primarily playing alongside Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov. Whether you feel the Rangers won or lost the Ryan McDonagh trade with Tampa Bay, it seems evident that Namestnikov was the biggest loser in the shift.

It’s also worth noting that Kevin Shattenkirk made his preseason debut on Sept. 22, which was his first game since Jan. 18 after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus. He got a pair of assists in the 5-2 loss and while preseason statistics aren’t terribly useful, it’s encouraging to see him do well after being absent for so long.

Philadelphia Flyers

It wouldn’t be the Philadelphia Flyers if there wasn’t goaltending drama. The latest chapter starts with Michal Neuvirth, who now appears doubtful for the start of the regular season due to an undisclosed injury. If he can’t play, then the Flyers safest alternative would be Alex Lyon given that he got into 11 games with Philadelphia last season – but Lyon is dealing with a lower-body injury and therefore also not an option.

That leaves Anthony Stolarz, who is coming off two knee surgeries and played a total of four games in 2017-18 (three in the ECHL), and Carter Hart, the man Flyers fans are putting their hopes and dreams on. Hart has done great in the preseason, but even so it’s reasonable to wonder if it’s really a good idea to send him straight from the WHL to the NHL? It’s asking a lot of him and might not be ideal for his development. The Flyers might end up having to acquire a goalie, which is something that would have seemed crazy just a few weeks ago when it looked like they had an organizational logjam in goal.

Outside of the Flyers’ goalie issues, one emerging storyline has been Corban Knight. He’s 28-years-old, has only played in 29 career NHL games and spent the last two seasons entirely in the minors so he naturally didn’t come into training camp with any special attention paid to him. Knight has managed to claw himself into the conservation for the Flyers’ fourth-line spot though, frequently playing alongside Scott Laughton and Michael Raffl. Knight survived Tuesday’s round of roster cuts, so if nothing else, he would be one of the last players cut if he doesn’t make the team.

Even if Knight makes the team, he wouldn’t have a huge impact, but it would make for a nice feel good story of a guy that kept fighting long after he lost the prospect tag and eventually managed to defy the odds.

Pittsburgh Penguins

Jean-Sebastien Dea has managed to survive the Penguins’ cuts thus far and is consequently one of the final 15 forwards on the roster. He’s coming off his best campaign in the AHL to date with 18 goals and 50 points in 70 games. He also has the versatility to play center or right wing and kill penalties. If he does make the Penguins, it will likely be as a fourth-liner though.

Whatever happens with Dea, the biggest change for the Penguins going into the season will be the addition of offseason signing Jack Johnson. It wasn’t long ago that Johnson was a workhorse that consistently logged an average of over 24 minutes each season for Columbus, but his role declined in 2017-18 to the point where he averaged 19:33 minutes and was a healthy scratch in the playoffs. With that all behind him, it looks like Johnson will enter the season on the Penguins’ second pairing with Justin Schultz. The X-Factor there is the fact that Schultz skipped Wednesday’s preseason game due to a nagging upper-body injury. Penguins coach Mike Sullivan didn’t make it seem like anything serious, but obviously if Schultz ends up being unavailable for the start of the season then Johnson will temporarily play alongside someone else.

Washington Capitals

After winning the Stanley Cup, the Washington Capitals made a point of minimizing roster turnover, so naturally there weren’t a lot of question marks going into training camp. That’s led to a quieter preseason, so there has still been a couple smaller storylines.

For example, Devante Smith-Pelly hasn’t gotten into a preseason game yet and that’s reportedly because he hasn’t lived up to the Capitals’ conditioning standards. At this point it’s not clear if the Capitals will use Smith-Pelly as part of their opening game roster. It’s unfortunate to see this happen given that he was one of the role players that helped push the Capitals over the top with his seven goals and eight points in the postseason. Washington felt good enough about what he brought to the table to sign him to a one-year, $1 million contract over the summer, but now it seems like he might not live up to that deal.

The Capitals might also start the season without defenseman Michal Kempny, but for a very different reason. He’s sidelined after absorbing a high elbow from St. Louis’ Robert Bortuzzo during Tuesday’s game. Although the Capitals have simply termed Kempny’s injury as “upper body,” it’s reportedly a concussion and if that’s true then it’s hard to say how long he’ll be out for. Kempny is another one of those role players that came through for the Capitals during the playoffs. In his case, Kempny logged 17:42 minutes per contest in the postseason, which led to Washington signing him to a four-year, $10 million contract back in June. If there’s a silver lining, it’s that 21-year-old defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler has looked good in training camp and should be included in the Capitals’ final roster if Kempny isn’t available.

Rangers won’t win Metro Division, but are still cup contenders

(Photo by David Hahn/Icon Sportswire)

You wouldn’t have thought it after their game on Wednesday night, but the Rangers are a very good hockey team.

Their 5-3 loss to Chicago had less to do with their own play, more to do with the masterpiece the Blackhawks painted at Madison Square Garden. You watch the Hawks play and you realize just how much better they are than everyone else. The chemistry they have on the ice is insane; they can make passes and find the open man in ways you’d never expect.

“I think you analyze this one quickly,” said Henrik Lundqvist after the game. “I thought we played a really strong game, it's just their power play killed us. Five-on-5, our power play, it was really good."

Head coach Alain Vigneault shared that same sentiment: ”We played a good game. In my mind, we outshot them, out-chanced them. We had some good offensive-zone time.”

By the looks of things, the Blueshirts didn’t see some of those plays coming, either. Teuvo Teravainen torched the Rangers’ defense twice with a pair of gorgeous assists. All of the focus was on Artemi Panarin’s hat trick, but Teravainen was the unsung hero of this game.

New York bounced back against the Maple Leafs in Toronto the very next night, taking the contest by a 4-2 count. They did lose Ryan McDonagh, who had just returned to the lineup, so that could be an issue depending on the severity and timetable of his injury — if it’s serious.

Nobody’s catching the Washington Capitals for the Metropolitan Division crown at this point, but if there’s another team in the Eastern Conference that can give Ovechkin & Co. a run for their money, it’s the Rangers. If you think about it, it’s been that way for a few years now.

They have the goaltending and the balanced lineup, with the right mix of veterans and youth. If they can bolster their roster with a move or two at the trade deadline, this team is right up there as a Cup contender.

As for the other teams in the Metro, I think the playoff teams are starting to really distinguish themselves from the pretenders. Pittsburgh has awoken from its slumber and is creeping up on the inconsistent Islanders. The Penguins are now just one point behind Brooklyn for third place in the division.

Meanwhile, the Devils have lost four of seven and there are just too many better teams in their path. If they do find a way to sneak in, Cory Schneider needs to be handed the Hart Trophy, no questions asked.

Beyond that, we’ve known what to make of the Hurricanes, Flyers and Blue Jackets all season long.

I think the Rangers will continue to pull away from the Isles and Pens and, as I predicted before the season started, the race to keep an eye on will primarily be between those two teams. I think both will get in, but where they finish could play a major role in whether or not they can advance. It’s going to be a bumpy ride between now and April.

Fantasy Hockey Mailbag — Happy New Year

Chris Wassel — Fri, 02 Jan 2015 15:54:13 +0000

It has been a long and strange season so far but we close out 2014 quickly with just a couple questions on the mailbag. You can always follow me on Twitter @ChrisWasselTHW. Questions will always be answered and no I won't hide from them. There are two main questions I got this week. One is daily and one is a team inquiry if you will. Either way, this looks to be full of fireworks and honestly there is no other way to go here. Expect some answers that may irk a few people.

Anyway, let's get cracking on those questions. They do not answer themselves!

Fantasy Hockey Mailbag

Is there really anyone on the New Jersey Devils worth having as a fantasy hockey option?

Again, they are awful and nothing much is going to change from here on out. New Jersey has scored just 68 goals in their last 35 games (yes we threw out the 11 goal outburst in the first two). That is good for dead last in the league. Travis Zajac has eight points in 29 games while getting first line center minutes and Scott Gomez has almost as many points in about half the games while Adam Henrique has more points and plays several minutes a night less.

The strings are being pulled by Lou Lamoriello and the reality is with this "Odd Couple" coaching arrangement, the last 45 games have become open mic night in Newark. I wish I was kidding but do not be surprised to see Keith Kinkaid start more games than he has for the rest of the season. With the year lost, it is time to play out the string. Even Cory Schneider, who has been pretty good but just not consistent enough, will be a player you don't want in the second half unless you are in a deep league.

Jaromir Jagr is on about a 45-50 point pace which is a good ways off from that nearly 70 point year in 2013-14. Damon Severson had such promise in the early going with eight points but got sucked into the abyss and will miss another month with a break in his ankle. There have been injuries, mumps, and players just in another world. The bottom line is can the team even complete three straight passes? The fundamentals are pretty poor for a team so laden with veterans.

You could bag skate this team to death and it likely will not matter. Yes the effort will be there but the execution has to just happen and it is not. Just tread carefully with Devils players and know they can go into long slumps. Consider they have not won three games in a row since the start of the year.

What was with the value night on Saturday in DraftKings?

It was a pretty high scoring night on DraftKings and part of the reason why the amazing value in mid-line centers. Derek Stepan and several other centers were in the $4,500 to $5,500 range and around four points a night which is too good to pass up. That allowed you to take two centers and then spend a bit more on wing and defense. If you added a fairly cheap Ben Bishop at $6,700 on Saturday, it gave a player even more options to go higher up the food chain.

There was a 50-50 I was in last night where it took over 50 points just to cash. That's nuts! It really is. Typically you can get away with 35-40 points depending on the slate. Expect more nights like this during the next week as the schedule gets a little weird with a heavy Monday and Wednesday.

Do not forget to bring the questions and I will answer them. See you next week!

Fantasy Hockey Mailbag — Merry Christmas!

Scott Wheeler — Mon, 22 Dec 2014 22:41:50 +0000

With just a few days to go until Christmas arrives, fantasy hockey questions are still pouring in from all over the place. Again, every week we take your questions and the goal is to never back down no matter how challenging the inquiry may be. No one likes to be the bearer of bad news but sometimes that is just how it is.

This week we have a couple more of these fantasy questions that test our minds. If you are ready then I am as well. Let's go for gold here!

Fantasy Hockey Mailbag

Okay so I am able to keep six keepers but I need to package a deal for an elite goaltender. My keepers are Perry, Schneider, Eberle, Yandle, Duchene, MacKinnon, Hedman, Subban, Toews, and Kopitar. Just what do I do on both accounts? -- Craig Belanger

These are fun questions though most would view them as tough or difficult. The attempt to try and distinguish can be maddening but it can also be a satisfying experience. Why? Decisions like this eat up too much of your time in fantasy hockey. I see it every single day and you can tell when it is really grinding someone's gears.

When you look at the choices here, it actually reads like a who's who of top ten or twenty players or so. That may be a slight exaggeration but these are all top players at their respective positions (at least top ten or 15). When you realistically look at all these players, the across the board numbers just make it tougher and tougher.

However, there are clear cut choices that can be made. One assertion is that Cory Schneider is not an elite goaltender right now because of the mess of a team he plays on currently. New Jersey is not going anywhere and the train could ride off the rails even further. Someone might try to take him in a sell low scenario though. Package him with the right players and maybe you can strike top five goaltender gold.

Could you package a Schneider with Hedman to get a top goalie? Yes you might. However, you may have to sweeten the pot with a Perry to do it. These trades take skill and no doubt you will regret giving someone up. In the long run, a fantasy hockey GM has to think longer term. I might also package Kopitar, Yandle, and Eberle for a top tiered netminder also.

My six keepers would be Perry, Subban, Hedman, Kopitar, Duchene, and MacKinnon. Good luck! Hey we have time for that second question.

-------------------------------------------------

So Calvin Pickard has been having an amazing week, what do you do with him now?

He is a good goalie and I do not doubt that. However, seeing these numbers come in and the frequent 30+ save totals combined with the workload do worry me a bit. His "Goalie DNA" says he can handle it but Colorado has little margin for error. Semyon Varlamov is bound to come back eventually and take back his job anyway. With a window that is closing by the day, an owner has a chance to get something for Pickard he never ever expected to. Think of how often a waiver pick can be turned into an asset. It does not happen very often.

You can keep playing him until Varlamov returns and then go digging into the waiver wire to try and get lucky again or maybe you trade him for another player now. There are enough fantasy hockey general managers out there dying for a quick fix and they will PAY for it! As the saying goes, aim high first and then come down in price. Remember to do this fast because other owners will pick up on this strategy and fast!

Good luck everyone and thanks for reading. Merry Christmas and see you next week!
