A SENSible Decision

The Ottawa Senators are in an enviable position. At least that's how I view their situation at this point in the season. Listening to some of the radio stations in the city, I hear fans and on-air personalities saying that they hope the Sens can turn it around this year. No, no, no, a nice winning streak is one of the WORST things that could happen to the team right now. I would call that "pulling a Toronto"; being out of contention most of the year and then winning just enough games to finish ninth or tenth in the Conference. That only provides false hope and gives the team the worst possible draft position without the reward of playoff games/experience.

Cory Stillman to Carolina. Why can't these GM's wait until I am off from work to announce these trades! Analysis tonight, like the other deals. The breakdown for the Kovalev trade will be posted this evening. His value goes from not much to pretty good (for one-year leagues, anyway). Brooks Orpik will be out for [...]

Trade Deadline Investments

By Dobber Sports|2011-02-24T04:35:27-05:00February 24th, 2011|Eastern Edge|

Perron

With the 2011 NHL trade deadline approaching quickly, many fantasy GMs run into their own dilemmas at their deadline, especially if it's a deep keeper league. Is it time to sell the veterans for some youth? Is it better to move a few young pieces and bring in that proven veteran with a few years left in hopes of winning a league title? What type of player should I be investing in? While these might sound like relatively easy decisions, most will concur they are not.

Lots of waiver wire action today - Zherdev, Kotalik, Rivet and Svatos all on waivers. Zherdev would garner the most interest methinks. Getzlaf's wife went into labor last night, he may not play... Ray Emery has been recalled by the Ducks. Yes, I believe you can safely activate him. He won't be [...]

Fantasy Trade Fallout

Frolik

Following the crazy trade frenzy of the last couple of days, I’ll go through the Western Conference teams and analyse some of the fallout that has occurred because of the trades. Obviously, some of the opinions are going to differ from Angus’ or Dobber’s, but that’s the reason why you come visit this site in the first place isn’t it?

Quick notes - Hagman has cleared waivers, the Pens have sent down Ryan Craig, and the Coyotes have called Kyle Turris back up. Obviously Turris was sent down just to get in some game time. Nicklas Backstrom may (or may not) miss time due to a fractured finger. Details are here. But this [...]

Re-Energized

By Justin Goldman|2015-07-24T10:22:38-04:00February 21st, 2011|z-Archives (other articles)|

Miller

One week from today, the trade deadline will tear through the National Hockey League like a Texas tornado. The funnel cloud is forming as we speak, as a few goaltenders have already been uprooted and dropped in a new city. Whether these changes improve or ruin a goalie’s fantasy value depends on many different factors, but one thing I know for sure is that traded goalies will be re-energized as they start the next chapter of their pro careers.

Souray has cleared re-entry waivers. The Flames have placed Niklas Hagman on waivers. Martin Brodeur is ready to start - he may start tomorrow night, but then again are the Devils in a rush when Hedberg keeps getting the W's? Andrei Loktionov has been sent back to Manchester by the Kings, [...]
