No. 402 - Making (Something Abstract) More Concrete or Real (aka ReiFiala)

On this episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast, it's crunch time as you continue your season-long quest for a fantasy hockey championship, and Elan and Brian are here to talk about the upcoming week's most relevant players and how they can (and cannot!) help your team to victory. The show starts with a preview of the Keeping Karlsson Ultimate Patron Fantasy League finals matchup between Elan and Mark, who joins us on the show to talk about the season he's had and share some takes on players catching our attention for the final week. After that, we ask and answer: Is Mark Stone worth activating immediately once he's in the lineup? Which Montreal and Winnipeg skaters give you the best chance to take advantage of those teams' off-day schedules? Has Jesper Bratt lost his lustre? Does Auston Matthews need to go first overall in next year's fantasy drafts? Can slumpers Adam Fox, Mat Barzal and T.J. Oshie make themselves worthwhile before your fantasy season ends? How many Blues can you count on to carry you to the end of the season? What does "reify" mean? ..and more! Want to stay up to date on all the latest NHL line combos and fantasy news?
