According to TSN, Jonathan Toews earned a $1.3 million bonus with the Conn Smythe win. That bonus will count against Chicago's 2010-11 cap... Alessandro Seren Rosso translated an interview with a former agent of Kabanov's. A great read. Thanks again to PickUp Hockey for running the 2010 DobberHockey Playoff Challenge. I (unofficially) [...]
Aneroid, Saskatchewan is best known for two things: a piece of lost survey equipment and NHL star, Patrick Marleau. And with all due respect to that long-ago misplaced aneroid barometer, you’re probably more interested in the 44-goal-scoring former captain of the San Jose Sharks.
The Thrashers agreed to a two-year deal with Jim Slater. He was set to become unrestricted, but probably realized the market for him was nonexistent. I used to be a big fan of Slater's potential, but from a fantasy standpoint he has never taken a single step forward. Another pending UFA, Chris Mason, [...]
Are you wondering what your plan of attack should be in your fantasy hockey pool this summer? Preparing for a draft? Upset about some trades you made in the past? I’ll weigh in with my thoughts on the interesting and important issues.
This week, I took a look at the team submitted to me by DobberHockey reader Jamie M.
The Ilya Kovalchuk rumors are heating up. One is that he has been offered $14 million per season for three years by a KHL club. Another is that the he has NOT been offered that kind of contract. And another is that the Leafs will go after him hard. The latter probably started via [...]

Developing prospects is more like alchemy than an exact science. With 30 NHL organizations controlling the rights of anywhere from six to 16 goalies, it’s a special elixir of scouting, coaching philosophies and systems that creates a pedigree of puck stoppers. Once a prospect is drafted or acquired, the organization’s main goal is to provide as many opportunities as possible for goalies to continue improving their skills. But because teams can only carry two or three at a time, it’s only a matter of time before good play by one goalie in the organization leads to another’s misfortune.
Fantasy Prospects Report - check it out HERE. Talk about bad luck - so Boucher comes in twice this series when the game is out of hand and the Flyers come back just enough to earn him the loss each time. So now Ville Leino has 19 points in his last 16 [...]
Buy the Fantasy Prospects Report here. Just saw that Seidenberg led the NHL in blocked shots last season with 215. I take back my drunk Chiarelli comment from yesterday. Three million is pretty solid when that's what is brought to the table to go with secondary blueline offense. Montreal prospect Louis Leblanc, [...]
The 2010 Draft isn't even in the books yet, but it's time to look ahead to 2011... and further. In short: if you're ruing missing out on Taylor Hall or Tyler Seguin this year, don't sweat it; next year's edition is shaping up to be the one of the best all-time when it comes to the top five. And 2012 looks pretty good, too.
