Fantasy Hockey Mailbag: Pettersson Panic, Dynasty Debates & Buy-Low Goalies

We open the mailbag and answer your fantasy hockey questions.

Is Elias Pettersson droppable if he isn’t traded by the deadline? We break down the situation in Vancouver and what fantasy managers should do if the production doesn’t rebound.

We also tackle a number of listener questions including:

• Who to drop in an ESPN points league: Norris, Nichushkin, Terry or Bennett
• Is Frank Nazar worth holding in very deep leagues?
• Which 40–50% rostered players should be cut for streaming now that the trade deadline has passed
• Buy-low goalie targets in wins / SV% / GAA formats
• How much draft capital to spend if you've already secured a playoff spot in dynasty leagues
• Keeper debate: Fowler vs Wallstedt, Martone vs Hagens long term

All that and more in this week’s fantasy hockey mailbag. Let's get to BIZ and get those CHIPS!
