The Sens gave Chris Kelly a four-year contract extension. I think he could have actually had decent 55-point pop on a new team… but not in Ottawa.

 

The Leafs and Islanders each blew their chance to pick up Nikita Filatov, who could be the steal of the draft. Remember – Jagr was chosen fourth in his draft. Nothing against the players chosen, I'm just saying it could come back to haunt them.

 

The picks that caught my attention and moved up my fantasy draft lists the most? Tedenby going to New Jersey and Tikhonov going to Phoenix.

 

NHL.com is streaming Day 2 coverage of the draft. Just an FYI.

 

The Flyers acquired Steve Eminger from Washington who has high risk/reward offensive potential. His role in training camp bears watching.

 

If I'm a fan of… pretty much any team but Montreal, Calgary, Tampa Bay, LA, and Phoenix, I would be pretty upset with management. Why? Because management could have acquired Mike Cammalleri, Olli Jokinen and Alex Tanguay for two middle firsts, a third and a couple of No.3/4 defensemen. TB is excused because it would be silly to trade Stamkos. LA is excused because they are set up front. I guess you can excuse Pittsburgh and Detroit because those teams are set. Anaheim and Philadelphia are pressed against the cap. But there are about 15 teams out there who could have used an entirely new first line and could have had one cheap. Just my thoughts. Kids are great to draft and offer a cheap short-term solution and promising long-term potential. But those three players are ready right now. You can only hope that the player you draft winds up as good as Jokinen. I'm not (Toronto) mentioning (Maple) any names (Leafs) specifically though. Kudos to Phoenix, Calgary and Montreal. RIP Florida.

Keeping Karlsson Short Shifts – Thanks for Vejmelkmories

Elizabeth and Lewis reunite to bring you all the latest fantasy news and strategy, such as how our siblings would fare if called on to fill our roles like Owen Sillinger did for bro Cole. Then it’s onto news including coverage of the postponed CGY/LAK game and defensive injuries piling up in MIN and putting some strain on Gustavsson’s performance. Injuries and outjuries include a pair of goalies returning to their teams in Ingram and Shesterkin, as well as how Monahan’s wrist injury opens the door for big minutes for Fantilli. Finally, the pair touch on Voronkov and PLD’s hot streaks, and discuss John Carlson’s rollercoaster in light of Chychrun’s production.
