About this episode

Blake analyzes five players who broke out after the Olympic break and discusses their fantasy value for the next season.

The Olympic break came and went… and then these five players took off. In this episode, Blake digs into five players who broke out offensively after the Olympic break and asks the fantasy question that actually matters: can we trust it next season? We’re comparing each player’s pre- and post-break production, then looking under the hood to figure out what changed. Was it more ice time? Better linemates? A new power-play role? Increased shot volume? Better team offense? Or just a late-season heater that fantasy managers need to be careful with? If you’re already thinking about next year’s draft board, these are the types of players who can either become major values… or major traps.
