As we draw ever nearer to September, the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast knows it's absolutely time for the seeds of draft prep to start being sown.  On this brand new episode, Elan and Brian begin by sifting through the latest hockey headlines for fantasy relevance, including an opening behind the bench in Colorado, a new Duck whose career may be ready to quack, an opportunity in Arizona for a redeemed Vrbata, and the guys that may beat the Wis on the Tampa depth chart. Your co-hosts then spend the rest of the show debating whether or not to bestow the vaunted 'elite'/'1337' tag upon players by virtue of their outstanding performances in 2015-16. Players discussed on this episode include Tyson Barrie, Calvin Pickard, Matt Duchene, Antoine Vermette, Radim Vrbata, James Wisniewski, Connor McDavid, Johnny Gaudreau, Artemi Panarin, Aleksander Barkov, Brian Campbell, Patrick Kane, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Nicklas Backstrom, Brent Burns, Dan Boyle, John Klingberg, Nikita Kucherov and more.
