spent the past six seasons with Red Bull. A YEA

A team with a couple of top tier forwards, the Anaheim Ducks generally provide depth and upside value for fantasy owners. Top Picks: Its not surprise that C Ryan Getzlaf and RW Corey Perry are the two prime picks for the Ducks. They are the franchise cornerstones, links to their Stanley Cup win and anchors on the teams top line. Perry holds more relative value, generally, because the depth of talent at right wing isnt the same as centre. In leagues that count penalty minutes, Perry remains a viable first-round pick. Even if his MVP season is somewhat of an anomaly, over the last six seasons, Perry is the only player in the league with at least 180 goals, 360 points and 400 penalty minutes. Getzlaf has been a point-per-game centre for five of the last six seasons, but his 2011-2012 season was a dud and he missed 31 games in the two years before, so he doesnt come without flaws. Nevertheless, hes a good bet as a low-end No. 1, top tier No. 2 centre. Value Plays: When it comes to the rest of the Ducks, enthusiasm needs to be tempered. We all love RW Teemu Selanne. Hes had a wonderful career and is by all accounts a wonderful guy, but he also had six goals and one assist (!) in his last 33 regular season games last season, so hes a long way from his most productive days and with a decreasing role, the 43-year-old is worth consideration in deep leagues. D Francois Beauchemin had a career year and finished the season playing on a torn ACL, but keep it in perspective: hes 33-years-old and last seasons plus-19 was the first time since 2006-2007 that he finished with a plus rating. Hes also going to be missing his defence partner, Sheldon Souray, for the first couple months of the season after Souray suffered an injury while training this summer. Goaltenders Viktor Fasth and Jonas Hiller are coming off strong seasons, but they cut into each others value because as long as both remain healthy, its hard to imagine a dramatic split in the workload. Forced to choose, give a slight edge to Fasth, who was better last season, even though hes 31 and has 25 games of NHL experience. Sleepers/Breakthrough: Looking for upside plays, check out the left wingers. Jakob Silfverberg is a right winger, but should have an opportunity to play the left side with Getzlaf and Perry, a plum position that can make just about anyone more appealing. Silfverberg had a decent rookie season, but his pedigree and ability to generate shots on goal in his first NHL campaign suggest that there should be more production coming. Dustin Penner Kyle Palmieri has 15 goals and 29 points in 70 career NHL games, and has 46 goals and 83 points in 84 AHL games over the last couple seasons, so he knows what to do with the puck in the offensive zone. It has to be a deep league to consider taking a winger that had two goals in 33 games last season, but Dustin Penner is a five-time 20-goal scorer. If the 30-year-old ends up on a scoring line, he could warrant consideration. Rookies: There arent a lot of openings for Ducks rookies, but Sourays injury may make it easier for undersized Finnish D Sami Vatanen to earn a regular turn on the blueline. Vatanen was stellar in Finland and made a smooth transition to North America, putting up 45 points in 62 AHL games. With regular playing time, including time on the power play, he could put up some decent numbers. The 15th pick in 2009, Peter Holland has six points in 25 career games, but 105 points in 119 AHL games does suggest that he might be able to fill a scoring role in the NHL. With Saku Koivu and Nick Bonino behind Getzlaf on the depth chart, Holland could still have a shot at the second-line centre job or he could be left battling for a spot in the lineup.

While hell be dialed in to that tournament on a course he loves, you can forgive him if his eyes glance down the calendar just a bit, towards April.(SportsNetwork.com) - Following 19 rounds during an eight-month period, the one thing that stands out in the 2014 Formula One season is the dominance of Mercedes with its drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. While Red Bull had been the dominant team in F1 the past four years, Mercedes was in a league of its own this season, thanks in part to the new technical regulations. The cars were equipped with a new power unit, which consisted of a 1.6-liter, V6 turbocharged engine along with an Energy Recovery System (ERS). Mercedes adapted to the regulations much better than its rivals, particularly Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren. The Williams F1 team, which uses a Mercedes engine, had a much-improved season. Mercedes won its first constructors championship in F1, clinching the title with Hamiltons victory in the Oct. 12 inaugural Russian Grand Prix, as three races remained in the season. Hamilton claimed his second world championship, defeating his teammate and title rival Rosberg by 67 points. The intense rivalry between Hamilton and Rosberg throughout the season provided lots of drama and made for most of the headlines in F1, but there were other notable stories worth recalling. MERCEDES REIGN OF SUPREMACY Mercedes had a banner year in winning its maiden constructors title. The team set a record for most grand prix victories in a season with 16. Hamilton scored 11 wins compared to five for Rosberg. Daniel Ricciardo, in his first season with Red Bull, was the only other driver who had wins this season -- three of them. With victories in 16 of the 19 rounds, Mercedes winning percentage of 84.2 for the season was fifth-highest all-time in F1. McLaren won 15 of 16 grand prix in 1988, setting the record for highest winning percentage of 93.8. Mercedes also won a total of 18 poles this year (Rosberg had 11 compared to 7 for Hamilton), tying Red Bulls record for most poles in a season, set in 2011. Felipe Massa, driving for Williams this season after spending the past eight years with Ferrari, claimed the pole for the Austrian Grand Prix in June. Mercedes ended the season with a record 701 points, which was 296 points more than its closest competitor, Red Bull. This is really something incredibly special, what this team has put together, and I think weve got great people in their right positions, and Nico and I will continue to push the team forward, Hamilton said. Its been phenomenal this year. I think its really important the steps we take moving forwards to continue improving, and I believe 100 percent the team will do that. Im looking forward to battling with people for sure, but I do believe that well be there fighting with people hopefully for some time. Following the conclusion of the 2013 season, Mercedes reshuffled its management team, as Ross Brawn stepped down as team principal and handed over his leadership to executive director (business) Toto Wolff and executive director (technical) Paddy Lowe. Then in April, Mercedes announced that its technical director, Bob Bell, would leave the team at seasons end. Lowe is taking over Bells duties. HAMILTON VS. ROSBERG Hamilton and Rosbergs tug of war for this years F1 world championship was compared much to the fierce rivalry between McLaren teammates Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in 1988 and 89. Rosberg began the season by winning in Australia, but Hamilton went on to score victories in the next four grand prix -- Malaysia, Bahrain, China and Spain. The two had a hard-fought battle in Bahrain, with Hamilton beating Rosberg to the line by just one second. Tension between the two reached a boiling point for the Monaco Grand Prix in May and then the Belgian Grand Prix in August. In the Belgian GP in Spa, Rosberg and Hamilton made contact while battling for the lead on the opening lap, with Hamilton suffering a punctured left-rear tire when Rosbergs front wing clipped it. Hamilton then dealt with an ill-handling car before he was forced to retire with a handful of laps remaining in Belgium. He trailed Rosberg by 29 points after that race. But Hamilton rebounded nicely from there, winning the next five grand prix -- Italy, Singapore, Japan, Russia and United States. He took over the points lead in Singapore and kept it for the remainder of the season. Spa was a low moment, Hamilton said. I came back to the next races with a slightly different approach, and I wont explain exactly what I did because I need to bring it to the next races next year, but I did tweak some of my approach throughout the weekend which helped me get those wins. Rosberg snapped Hamiltons five-race winning streak in Brazil, and he kept his title hopes alive heading into thhe Nov.dddddddddddd23 season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which for the first time in F1 history awarded double the amount of points. Rosberg came to Abu Dhabi 17 points behind. Hamilton won in Abu Dhabi, while Rosberg, who had started on the pole, experienced a problem with his ERS early in the race, which led to a 14th- place finish. 2014 has been an incredible year for me, Rosberg said. Ive been particularly inspired by the huge support from my fans around the world. It gave me extra strength yet again. Ill be back on the offensive next year. The relationship between Hamilton and Rosberg this season ended on a positive note, as Rosberg congratulation Hamilton on his race victory and second world championship after the completion of the Abu Dhabi GP. Hamiltons first title occurred in 2008 when he drove for McLaren. Weve been fighting all season, and there have been good moments and bad moments, but weve worked together professionally, I think, all year long to push this team, so the team has no problems, Hamilton said of his battle with Rosberg for the championship. VETTELS WINLESS SEASON One year ago, Sebastian Vettel from Red Bull matched Alberto Ascaris 60-year- old record of nine victories in a row and tied Michael Schumachers 2004 season record of 13 wins. Vettel also won his fourth straight world championship, finishing the year 155 points ahead of second-place Fernando Alonso from Ferrari. But Vettels season this year went in the opposite direction, as he failed to win a grand prix and appeared on the podium just four times. He finished fifth in the championship standings, while his teammate, Ricciardo, placed third. Ricciardo finished ahead of Vettel in 13 grand prix this season. In one of the biggest driver changes in F1 history, Vettel is moving over to Ferrari where he is replacing Alonso for the 2015 season. Its widely rumored that Alonso will return to McLaren. Vettel is already working on the upcoming season with his new team, as he spent time at Ferraris facilities in Maranello, Italy this past weekend. The possibility to drive the car and get to know the team was a unique experience, Vettel said. Obviously, its a very different color for me, everybody is dressed in red, everything is red, but its really something special, and Im very much looking forward to the challenge that we took on for the next years. Vettel spent the past six seasons with Red Bull. A YEAR OF CHANGES AT FERRARI Ferrari has been the most successful constructor in F1, but the Italian team endured one of its worst seasons ever. That prompted a lot of changes at Ferrari throughout the year, most notably Vettel joining the team and Alonso departing. Last week, Ferrari announced that Maurizio Arrivabene replaced Marco Mattiacci as team principal. In April, Stefano Domenicali stepped down as team principal, with Mattiacci taking over the position. Then in September, Luca di Montezemolo resigned as Ferrari chairman, while Sergio Marchionne moved into that role. Ferrari ended the season fourth in the constructors championship and failed to win a race this year. It was the first time the team was winless in a season since 1993. Alonso concluded his last season with Ferrari sixth in the drivers standings, and Raikkonen, in his first season back with the team, placed 12th. BIANCHIS HORRIFYING CRASH IN JAPAN The 2014 F1 season had many exciting moments but a sad one as well. Marussia driver Jules Bianchi was involved in a serious accident in the closing laps of the Oct. 5 Japanese Grand Prix. Heavy rain associated from Typhoon Phanfone had an effect on the race. Bianchi slid off course and collided with a recovery vehicle that was removing Adrian Sutils Sauber car after Sutil went off course and crashed into the barrier. Bianchi, a 25-year-old Frenchman, suffered a severe head injury. He remains in critical but stable condition. Last month, Bianchi was taken out of an artificial coma and transported from Japan to a French hospital. In Monaco, Bianchi finished ninth to give Marussia its first points since entering F1 competition in 2010. FINANCIAL TROUBLES FOR TWO F1 TEAMS Two teams -- Caterham and Marussia -- faced financial issues during the season, which led to both organizations missing the grand prix in the United States and Brazil. Those two grand prix featured just an 18-car field, the smallest grid since 2005. Caterham returned to competition in Abu Dhabi, with Kamui Kobayashi and Will Stevens on the grid. Stevens made his F1 debut, as he replaced Marcus Ericsson, who had already departed the team. Marussia has ceased its operations and is currently selling its assets.
