Cyberpresse is reporting that Pouliot may be qualified before Monday, the Habs are still evaluating. I had forgotten - every year around draft time it's Matt Bugg's birthday. This year - it's today. Happy B-Day Mr. Bugg! Everyone's jumping in with ramblings today - gotta love the coverage. It's Dobber again, back a [...]
Chicago committed highway robbery. While Dale Tallon's fingerprints are all over this team, congrats to Stan Bowman for bending the new GM in Atlanta over the barrel. He not only gets rid of the contract of Dustin Byfuglien, but also Sopel's - and Ben Eager is up for a bit of a raise as [...]
Evgeni Nabokov’s reign in San Jose has finally come to an end. The Russian from Kazakhstan has won more games in the last three years than any other goalie, but now joins at least 20 UFA goalies seeking a new empire. I won’t speculate on where he goes or who they bring in as a replacement, but I will discuss what this does to San Jose’s goalie prospects, from a fantasy perspective of course.

Fantasy analysis: Nathan Horton and Gregory Campbell traded by Florida to Boston for Dennis Wideman, the 15th overall pick and a third rounder in 2011.
Bugg here- Pat Quinn was addressing the Edmonton media with regards to being named Senior Hockey Advisor. He sounded none too happy about essentially being booted upstairs, but that's not all. He may have leaked Edmonton's pick. When commenting on the incoming crew of 19-year-olds, he specifically said there were three, and he'd worked with [...]
After posting my 2010 Mock Offseason for the Vancouver Canucks on the weekend, I received a few emails from readers asking for my take on their favourite club. Naturally, a significant portion of these messages were from Leafs fans. I decided to tackle the Leafs for other reasons besides the numerous requests – the Tomas Kaberle saga, the need for offense, and Dion Phaneuf’s swagger all drew me to Toronto’s offseason situation.
Right now, the Leafs have a lot of holes up front, a lot of high-paid defensemen, and a stable goaltending situation.
Who amongst us can resist the lazy days of summer? And who doesn’t love the feeling you get when first arriving at a friend’s BBQ? You’re instantly hit with the mouth-watering aroma of freshly cooked meat and proceed to eat like a starved pig until you can’t see straight. To be honest, the current state of Florida’s goaltending is…yeah…a lot like that. From top to bottom, their goalie grill is loaded with plenty of succulent talent just bursting with fantasy flavor.
Phoenix has re-signed Taylor Pyatt for two years. I'm indifferent about that one. He's found a niche as a third liner. The Pens have signed d-man Ben Lovejoy to a three-year deal. Regarding Josh Harding - he's an underrated goaltender whom we haven't had the luxury of seeing because he's been buried [...]
So...anything happen while I was away? Lots of new trends in the NHL, trends you saw begin a year or perhaps two years ago are really coming to the forefront now. I alluded to goaltending a week or so ago, and how teams are/will start to draft only the top goalies and sign goalies [...]
