You’re in, or you’re out. This week (and probably next) are your fantasy championships. Fingers crossed that you made it, because I missed out in mine by a small margin. If you are in a rotisserie league, you have ten games to figure out how to use your remaining games to snag the top spot.

If you are at that point, it is safe to say your roster is set. Even so, it never hurts to look at the waiver wire and hope you catch lightning in a bottle. I recommend looking, but cannot blame you if you do not. You got this far with or without my advice, and straying off that path now could doom your team.

This will be the last ‘Peaks and Valleys’ for the fantasy hockey season, so I want to take a different approach and write a long-form column for you. You will get the same advice, just in a new context.

The one thing I am shopping for on waivers is players on teams who are on the border of making or missing the playoffs. 10 games remain for majority of teams, and the races for the final seeds in both conferences are jammed pack. Nashville, Washington, New Jersey, Winnipeg, Dallas, Phoenix, and both New York squads, have players who could get hot and push their team into the playoffs. Throw in Detroit, Columbus, Edmonton, and Buffalo, and the choices for streaking candidates are plentiful.

Teams like Washington, Nashville, and Edmonton have had numerous players contribute now more than in earlier months, so check recent stats on some of their available players in your league.

I feel like my biggest hit of late has been recommending Brandon Saad of the Chicago Blackhawks. The 20-year old’s stock has shot up like a rocket over the past few weeks, and I have been near the front of his bandwagon. People may not remember, but Saad was a top-10 prospect in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, but dropped to Chicago at pick 43 overall because of contract demands. I would imagine 29 other teams are ticked that they chose to not pick him up when they had the chance. Saad is still available in 25-40 percent of leagues.

My biggest misses of the 2013 season include advising the removal of all Columbus Blue Jackets and adding goaltender Dan Ellis. The Jackets are in the thick of the Western Conference playoff race, and the recent addition of Marian Gaborik at the trade deadline gave them a proven scorer in need of redemption. Ellis, like Carolina, has been the epitome of this column’s name. Add in goalie prospect Justin Peters, and Ellis never became roster worthy.

Thank you all for checking out ‘Peaks.’ Despite the fantasy season coming to an end, I am jumping ship to fantasy baseball starting next week. Same premise, same format, same results (luck please be on my side).
