Hey guys, Angus here. Busy few days for me. Anyway, some updates in the afternoon. The Canucks have signed the skilled Jason Krog to a one year, one-way deal. This is essentially going to be a replacement for either Matt Pettinger ($1.1 million) or Taylor Pyatt ($1.5 million) in Vancouver's bottom six. The Senators have apparently signed [...]

There always has been (and always will be) an ongoing debate about who is the best player in the league. Gretzky and Lemieux battled over the title for a long time, and after them it was the likes of Jagr, Sakic, Forsberg, and Fedorov. Lately it has included Iginla, Thornton and Lecavalier, but the future is really about three players. Crosby, Ovechkin, and Malkin. This article is about my take on the battle for NHL supremacy.
The Tennessean is reporting that Steve Sullivan's bad episodes with his back are becoming shorter. He has skated three times in the past week and says that it is more of an exhaustion thing than a pain thing, as he tries to get into shape. He is resolute in saying that he will be back, [...]
It is a tight race, but guess who currently leads all prospects in fantasy hockey value - see the updated Fantasy Prospects List here . Sergei Fedorov signed a one-year, $4 million deal with Washington. He should be good for 50-55 points there. Any other team would have been much lower. Kyle Wanvig has signed to play [...]
The Ultimate Playoff Pool 2008 is long gone, but the prizes have been awarded (except one, details below). Check out some of the pictures of DobberHockey readers and the big grins on their faces...
Here's an interesting one: the revamped Lightning have signed Brandon Bochenski to a two-year deal. The deal is two-way for this year, but one-way for next year. A pure goalscorer, Bochenski is one of those guys that cannot be expected to play strong defense. He's other on the top line, or in the press box. [...]

The History
Once upon a time, Andrew Raycroft was chosen over Vesa Toskala to start against the Ottawa Senators on Opening Night, thanks to a weak decision by Paul Maurice. Things didn’t go as planned, the Leafs were shut out 4-0 at home and the season’s dismal start was etched in history forever.
Just two measly wins all year long and no hope for a better tomorrow, Raycroft was left to wallow in his many blunders. That was until Toronto bought him out and along came Colorado, licking their chops and feasting their eyes on Raycroft, ready to do what they do best – give goalies another chance. As it was with Patrick Roy and Jose Theodore, is now with Raycroft, and ever shall be, forever and ever.
Beaucoup d’argent a été accordé aux joueurs dans la dernière semaine, et il reste une bonne liste de joueurs qui demeurent sans contrat. Malheureusement pour les poolers, les restants sont minces en termes de joueurs qui pourraient prendre de la valeur s’ils signent avec la bonne équipe. Voici quelques remarques sur ce qu’on s’attend des joueurs toujours sur le marché…
