Many of them may not make it, but the American Hockey League's list of leading scorers is always an interesting one to say the least. With both future stars (Brett Hull, Jason Spezza, Daniel Briere) and future busts (almost everyone else) cracking the top ten, taking accurate stock of the leaderboard is imperative- lest you find yourself overpaying for the next Peter Sarno
Andrew Ladd was not a healthy scratch for Carolina last night - I just found out he actually mildly sprained his ankle. From Tarik El-Bashir's Blog : Alexander Semin (sprained ankle) skated on his own, but left the ice before his teammates came out. He was able to cut hard, but still looked a bit [...]
We often use stock market jargon when discussing the game of hockey. A player’s stock is rising or falling, buy low, sell high, blue chip prospect, etc. Not surprisingly, both the NHL and its players frequently refer to hockey as a business.

Often times they give up on a player too soon. Do not be the person who drops a great player, be the person that is patient and smart. Guys like Marian Hossa, Roberto Luongo and Brendan Shanahan will come through eventually. Some players are the real deal, but other players can be nothing but smoke and mirrors. Here is a list of some early notables.
The Islanders have lost winger Jon Sim for the remainder of the regular season. Sim severely tore some ligaments in his knee, so that's it for him and this season. Robert Esche has signed with Ak Bars Kazan. Looking Ahead has been updated. Quick AHL info: Robert Nilsson was sent back to the AHL to regain his confidence. [...]
Atlanta has fired their head coach Bob Hartley after the team suffered through six regulation losses to open the season. This has huge repercussions on the fantasy world.
The Rangers have recalled Nigel Dawes, which indicates that Marcel Hossa will be unable to go tomorrow night. Sheldon Souray has a separated shoulder and will be out of the lineup indefinitely. This will give Gilbert and Grebishkov more time on the power play... they may be worth plucking off the waiver wire. Chicago has announced that [...]
