Blake Wheeler will be a Boston Bruin come July 1st. Since he is unrestricted, nothing can be finalized until that date, but for all intents and purposes he is a Bruin. Look for him to be wearing the spoked B come next season. Johan Hedberg has signed a MULTI-year deal. A one year deal would not [...]

It's time for the semi-annual Band-Aid Boy page update. To give your input, or to find out about what makes the BAB list tick, CLICK HERE Rob Rossi of the Pittsburgh Trib-Review is reporting that the Pens have made signing Hossa a top priority.

The Panthers made a great move today in signing Peter DeBoer as their head coach. He is very structured and will have them playing as a team by January. Don't expect big points from your Panthers, though. He preaches defense. Although his top line will see plenty of points, as he leans heavily on them. [...]

It looks as if the Coyotes have given up on Radim Vrbata. It would seem that Vrbata is negotiating based on his first half - whereas the Yotes are negotiating based on the entire season. Vrbata will be a UFA, and if I were you I would quietly shop him. His situation in Phoenix was [...]
An In-Depth Keeper Hockey League
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 . During the season 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 about it.
I’ve been emailing back and forth with Paul Miller about his hockey team for going on three seasons now. When I first looked at his league it scared the crap out of me because it seemed so convoluted when you add the salaries and the expiring contracts and stuff like that but once you get your feet wet then it all ain’t so bad. Let me encourage the rest of you to dive right into some in-depth league and have a blast with it. If you’re going into a league like this one then you should review my last two month’s submission to “An Expert’s Audit” for a few extra pointers on how to stay afloat in a salary league.

Ward is still prone to slumps. The Red Wings have given coach Mike Babcock a three-year extenstion. Pavel Brendl [...]
