Stuart and Commissioner Kevin get together to go through the results of the P2P playoffs. A big congratulations to all our winners across the format in their home leagues and in the Champions League. Hats off to building the rosters to take home the 'ships. Then we go through some of the top-performing playoff players. Finally, Kevin breaks down a little draft data project we are working on that will help inform a series of pods in the future!

Riley, Stuart, and Evan dig into the numbers to look at who the best fantasy hockey goalies have been. Who are some of the best this year, and who might be some of the best in the future? We also chat a little bit about the joys of having Olympic hockey back. Please note this was recorded before Brandon Bussi signed his new extension in Carolina.

Riley, Stuart, and Kevin welcome former Real Housewives of Hockey analyst and Prospects to Pros OG member Evan Lee on for a fun episode this week featuring the question of what to do when your fantasy team looks to be stuck in the middle. The Tampa Bay Lightning in League 36 asked the commissioner what he could do with his team that has Connor McDavid but is currently sitting in 17th place. Riley, Kevin, and Stu each came to the table with a variation of what some next steps could be. Evan jumps in at the end to assess all the plans and give his take. A big thanks to Paul_TML for asking the question and being kind enough to let his team be the case study for these discussions. Have a team in P2P that you're not sure what the path forward is? Submit your team for a chance to be on our next case study episode.
