 Kyle Okposo will make his NHL debut on Tuesday for the Isles. He is ranked 13th on my fantasy prospects list.  Marian Hossa is "100 percent" and will play today. He practiced with Staal and Dupuis. David Legwand is targeting a Thursday or Saturday return from his bruised foot. Vinny Prospal has just five points in nine games [...]

 The NHL has suspended Chris Pronger for eight games. You may see Bergeron actually get some PP time now. But wait a game to see for sure.  Mats Sundin will miss today's game against Buffalo. In the forum where we pick winners every Saturday, I picked the Leafs to win in OT. They have a flair [...]

Lightning Strikes

 Mike Smith Jussi Jokinen

 

When the Tampa Bay Lightning traded Brad Richards, they confirmed what most of us already knew.  In today’s salary cap era, it is next to impossible to win consistently with three superstars on your payroll and hope to fill out the rest of the line-up with low paid journeymen and minor-leaguers. Sure they won the Stanley Cup, but they had Khabibulin and Richards signed at reasonable prices. Once their contracts expired, the gig was up. They haven’t been the same team since.

 Sidney Crosby will miss at least the next week (three games) with his sore ankle. Mats Sundin has been downgraded from probable to questionable for Saturday.  The Blues' signed goaltending prospect Ben Bishop to an amateur contract with Peoria. Bishop will forego his final year at the University of Maine. He is 6-7, and the team is [...]

Patrick Marleau

 

With the recently released Forbes rich list, which analyzes the financial details of the top richest men and women in the world, we’d thought that we should compile our own list of five NHL players who make the most money, but definitely not contributing to fantasy leagues as they possibly can in the realm of fantasy hockey. All information has been taken from the website www.nhlscap.com .

 The hot run is over, Ryan Shannon is now pointless in three games. Time to drop him in roto leagues - he was a valuable depth winger for awhile there and he will be again, but I see a prolonged slump now as his ice time is cut.  Martin Havlat is officially done for the season. [...]

It Takes Two

The Vancouver Canucks are in the middle of a dogfight for the final few playoff spots in the always-intense Western Conference. They are getting balanced production, solid defense, and great goaltending from Luongo. The best offense is a good defense is an age-old adage in pro sports, and it applies to the Canucks right now. Their two best defensive forwards have been their two best offensive forwards over the past few weeks.

Welcome once again to “An Expert’s Audit”. This audit will also be posted here as well as on my fantasy hockey blog at www.fantasyhockey.hockeyanalysis.com . I also do weekly reviews of teams for people who email in to me for a look-see. These audits will continue to appear here monthly and if you’re interested in having your keeper team “worked over” then you can begin by emailing Dobber.

 

Perhaps you’d prefer this article “en francais” like this . Much thanks goes to Steve Rodgers for his efforts in translation of this article. I know I couldn’t have done it. (Cliquez ici pour la version française )
