Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast

On this episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast, it's the uncut, unedited, four hour livestream extravaganza from Keeping Karlsson Ultimate Patron Fantasy League's Tier 1 Championship Tier's Auction Draft! This auction draft features 14 of the top fantasy managers in the world, drafting from 6 different countries on 3 different continents, building their teams to compete for ultimate glory in the most prestigious fantasy hockey league on the planet, the KKUPFL. The list of Tier 1 managers who've climbed the ranks to compete at the top of the KKUPFL this year includes Elan (Toronto), Lewis Ezekiel (Kalamazoo) and Ben Burnett (Saint John) from Short Shifts, Dave Betten (Pittsburgh) from Stream Scheme, Marcas Callanain (Dublin) from Stat Attack, along with past Keeping Karlsson guests Jesse Severe (Milwaukee), Jeff Good (Maine) and Tom Crowhurst (Belleville), and of course defending champion Max Fredrickson (Victoria). Joe Attila (Vienna), Dustin Au (London UK), Jordan Beach (Edmonton), Michael McClintock (Brisbane), and Mike Ryan (Boston) round out the group. Listen in to not only hear the draft happen live and get takes on the picks that are made, but to also learn from their strategies and get incredible tips on roster construction and management from co-host Jon Neuhold, manager of the highest-scoring team in the entire KKUPFL for the 2019-20 season. Jon also regularly shares whether picks were above, below or right on the nose compared to the values he'd set for them himself heading into the draft. Brian and Jon are joined by several managers throughout the episode as they come on to share their draft thoughts, feelings and schemes.. and occasionally defend moves that Brian and Jon picked on. And, of course, Elan shares his thoughts on The Queen's Gambit around the 3 hour mark.
