Show notes

Elan and Brian took their first crack at making projections in the Keeping Karlsson NHL 2018-19 Audio Almanac, but on this new episode of the Keeping Karlsson Hockey Podcast, they bring in experienced model-maker, The Athletic writer and chart man-to-be Dom Luszczyszyn for some veteran projector leadership, character and grit. After sharing their thoughts on the Pacioretty deal, the three crystal-ball-gazers compare notes for a swath of players on which they disagree the most, and see if they can reach some kind of consensus on their most at-odds projections. You can get Dom's famous projections sheet for yourself by heading over to keepingkarlsson.com/dom. Also: that Keeping Karlsson NHL 2018-19 Audio Almanac is out now! Elan and Brian slaved over hot mics and keyboards for weeks to put together the world's first audio fantasy hockey guide. It all adds up to a comprehensive and exhaustive 32 chapters, 27+ hours of content, 285 player points projections, 65 goalies tiered, and too many arguments to count to help you win your fantasy pool and just know pretty much everything about every relevant player in the entire NHL. Head to keepingkarlsson.com/almanac to purchase, where you'll also find a link to download the first chapter for free. This is also a good place to mention that Keeping Karlsson patrons get 20% off their Almanac purchase!
