I noticed Devon Toews falling off some fantasy teams.

Devon Toews has no goals , 2 assists and minus 6 and 4 hits.

Filip Hronek has no goals, 3 assists and plus 8 and 24 hits.

I remember when these comparisons were made back then, many Canucks fans, if not the majority said Toews was better. (The other is always better. The guy not on your team that you don't watch every night is always better)

I've also noticed some whining recently about Hronek not being flashy enough. At least he's a plus player and can hit. And he's having more team success as well.

Toews is likely dealing unexplained injury. He missed a few games earlier on this season has looked really sluggish lately.

But fantasy hockey is weird. You can have a very good defenseman in real life post some mediocre fantasy stats. Heiskanen, Pietrangelo (and the Vegas blueline), Faber...

Avs as a team have been disappointing. Toews deal takes him to like 37/38 IIRC. So, now is still go time for them based on their top guys. But, we talked about landy/Nuke and their unknown status. Nuke apparently has returned to practice with the team. Landy, really an uncertain possible return. Thus, Col can't really add as they'd have to make moves to be cap compliant when those 2 are ready (if they will be) some point this season.

How did the Oilers manage to pull off this kind of (not) defending lmao

They are getting some atrocious goaltending. if it bounces back to below average, they'll probably be okay.

They said Landeskog had a setback but might still return this year. But after this long, any setbacks make it more and more likely his career is over.

If I'm the Avs, I don't want Landeskog to come back. He's not gonna be worth 7M for the remainder of that deal after 2.5 years off. Plus the salary they would need to move out to fit him in as mentioned since Nuke will be back soon
