The Fantasy Prospects Report is now available in your Downloads section.

 

Yahoo! is suing the NFLPA for threatening them with a lawsuit if they don't pay royalties for player names and statistics. The NFLPA is doing this despite the fact that fantasy baseball site CBS won a similar case already. Without fantasy sports, regular sports would see a huge slowdown in growth, interest and by extension – money. We are good for sports. Period. Full article can be found HERE.

 

It is looking likely that Datsyuk and Draper will both return for Game 4. I'm sure this will be at the expense of Abdelkader and Leino. Darren Helm has played his way out of danger of getting scratched. In fact, I bet he plays more than Draper.

 

The Leafs have signed Mikhail Stefanovich, Carl Gunnarsson and Juraj Mikus to entry level contracts. Stefanovich should play another year in junior, but look for him to get a long look in the fall. He made huge strides last season and should be a top sixer for the Leafs within three years. He is ranked 192, but has since moved up thanks to reseach for the recently released Prospects Report. Look for him in the Top 150 next update (June 10)

 

The Avs set up Tony Granato to lose – because, let's face it, they sucked last year and they were expected to suck last year. And now TSN is reporting that they have fired him. Greg Sherman will be the new GM and needs to find a coach. Goalie coach Jeff Hackett and assistant GM Michel Goulet were also fired. It's going to be painful for 3-5 years in Denver.

 

Some interesting results in the KHL draft. Full draft results can be found here .

 

The Stars extended a pair of goaltenders yesterday in Matt Climie and Brent Krahn. I still figure Richard Bachman will be the backup though – just a hunch.

 

Scott Niedermayer will make it known by the June 26 Entry Draft whether or not he will retire. This decision will impact the likes of Whitney and Wisniewski, who stand to benefit from his absence.

Evgeni Malkin has 33 points and is the first player to top 30 since 1996, when Sakic had 34.

 

Mike Zigomanis, the Penguins' faceoff ace, has actually been cleared to play. It's doubtful they'll get him in the lineup after such an absence, but maybe if their backs are against the wall…

 

My article in The Hockey News is up, focusing on the coaching changes in Edmonton and Montreal and the fantasy impact. You can read it here .

 

I should have had this up for Monday, but better late than never – Malkin vs. Zetterberg:
