The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun spoke with NHL players during the NHL Media Tour regarding a certain hot locker room topic–fantasy football–and Dylan Larkin discussed the Red Wings’ fantasy football pool:
“It really gets going in the locker room,” captain Dylan Larkin said.
Especially over trades.
“Every year, around the (fantasy) trade deadline, there’s always a controversial trade,” Larkin laughed.
“(Commissioner Robby) Fabbri is always in talks with guys looking for something. Our emergency backup goalie (Josh Block) was in our league for a long time and he always had controversial trades.”
Defending champ?
“Olli Maatta won last year,” Larkin said. “Auto-draft, too.”
Continued (paywall); this blogger is not a fan of fantasy sports. I’m too loyal to my players, so I can’t get into the ever-changing lineups.
