On this episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast, Elan and Brian are on to part 3 of our four-episode series covering all the fantasy implications of player movement coming via the draft, trade and free agent market. We use this show to take a look around the new faces and depth chart places in the Atlantic Division, where Florida and Boston loaded up for another Cup run while the rest of their competition made some small adjustments under the hood.

What's the division of labour going to be in the Detroit crease? Does Montreal Mike Hoffman repeat his Blues or Panthers numbers? Which of the Maple Leafs' newest acquisitions has the best chance to stick in the top six? Will any Tampa Bay forward step up with so many departures from their middle six? Are the Senators going to get any more out of Matt Murray this year?

On this episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast, Elan and Brian convene for the second in our four-episode series covering all the fantasy implications of player movement coming via the draft, trade and free agent market. This time around, our sights are on the Metropolitan Division, where we open with the team that landed the biggest free agency fish-- the New Jersey Devils-- and wind our way through to the very quiet (so far) New York Islanders. In the Metro, we wonder: What happens to Dougie Hamilton's ceiling as a Devil? Who's the best fantasy blueliner in Philadelphia? Is there any discernible strategy behind Carolina's set of moves? Can Zach Werenski live up to his new contract? How much rent should the New York Rangers be charging Tom Wilson? Could Ovechkin repeat last year's 77 point pace? Will the Islanders ever actually officially sign a guy? Players covered on this episode include Dougie Hamilton, Ty Smith, Jonathan Bernier, Mackenzie Blackwood, Ryan Ellis, Rasmus Ristolainen, Keith Yandle, Cam Atkinson, Martin Jones, Carter Hart, Freddie Andersen, Antti Raanta, Ethan Bear, Tony DeAngelo, Zach Werenski, Jake Bean, Jakub Voracek, Barclay Goodrow, Sammy Blais, Ryan Reaves, Alex Ovechkin, Brock McGinn, Kyle Palmieri and more.
