If you buy a pool guide any time after 1pm (EST) Friday until 3pm Sunday, it will be emailed to you after 4pm on Sunday. I'll be away for a couple of days, sorry for the inconvenience. TSN is reporting that Markus Naslund has called Forsberg to convince him to join the Canucks. Regardless of whether [...]

Steve Sullivan is still recovering from June back surgery and may not be fully ready for camp. He will still participate in camp, but may not be taking hits to start. Be cautious with him and watch his progress in September. Patrik Stefan has signed a contract to play with SC Bern in Switzerland next season. Defenseman [...]
Los Angeles Kings and Florida Panthers
As keeper league hockey pools increase in number each year, fantasy junkies become more active in the off-season as they prepare their team for the coming year. Rebuild? Retool? Tweak? Whatever your intentions, it helps to get all the information you can about your players.
Throughout the off-season, FPL will look at a pair of teams each week and give you the fantasy lowdown. Bucking the trend of past years, we will review alphabetically – in reverse. Just to be different.

The rumors were true - the Islanders signed Josef Vasicek to a one-year contract. Jason Allison is still looking for a home. Correction from a reader - Mark Bell played once in Canada last season - Feb 24 in Calgary. There goes my conspiracy theory! The Vancouver Canucks finally met with Trevor Linden last night. Surprisingly, [...]

Would you sign Peter Forsberg to a 1-year contract to help sell tickets, and then trade him later on at the deadline to a playoff contender to help rebuild your team with young draft picks?

The Sharks have signed Dimitri Patzold to a one-year deal. It is unknown if it is a one-way or two-way contract. He will battle Thomas Greiss for the backup role and if it is a two-way deal he will lose that battle. All things being equal, I like Greiss better to win the job. Mike Ricci [...]

The Coyotes have signed Alex Auld. It is reportedly a two-way contract, which means the job is still Aebischer and Tellqvist's. He was considering a deal in Europe, and still might...I guess that may only happen if he takes a shot at an NHL job in camp and loses. Those of you who did not pick [...]
The Center of Attention
The Atlanta Thrashers, Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild have very lucrative jobs up for grabs – both in reality as well as in fantasy hockey. The job available? No.1 center. It’s anyone’s guess who will line up at center ice when the puck drops to start the season for those teams, but if you managed to secure him late in your draft…hoping…then you will likely hit the jackpot.

The Miami Herald is reporting on a rumor that Alex Auld is considering a contract offer from a team in Europe. Joe Dipenta has re-signed with the Ducks. I don't know if Brian Burke would have made that happen if he wasn't fairly certain that Niedermayer would retire. The rumors continue to swirl that the Islanders [...]
