On the first half of this week's Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast mega-show, Elan and Brian gather and analyze the latest fantasy hockey news, notes and data from the past season to work on projecting the 2023-24 NHL and fantasy hockey season, including: Is it fair to call Zach Werenski a band-aid boy? Does John Klingberg's PP1 presence mean he's a must-have, and that Morgan Rielly is not? How bad does Timo Meier's start really look? Are Ilya Samsonov and Philipp Grubauer already in danger of losing ground to their backups? Could this be the year for Brock Boeser? ---Registration for the 2023-24 Keeping Karlsson Ultimate Patron Fantasy League is in waitlist mode!Join us for the KKUPFL's 9th season, where you can compete with hundreds of the world's best fantasy hockey managers for ultimate bragging rights, glory, and t-shirts.
