This will get lost in the shuffle today, but don't forget it! Detroit has given Jan Mursak a two-year extension. Why is this so important? Because the deal is one-way. He will make about $600,000 regardless of what league (AHL/NHL) he is in. Angus here - I'll have a breakdown on a Kaberle [...]

Jonas Hiller is feeling lightheadedness again (can we call it a concussion soon?) and will miss the next three games for Anaheim. Methinks they are in the market for a goalie... I'm back baby! I really got my ass kicked yesterday thanks to week-old leftover pork that wasn't cooked enough (clearly). Now it's [...]

Time to sell high on Luongo in a one-year league? Perhaps. The Canucks are down four defensemen and there is no timetable for the return of Dan Hamhuis. We have some exciting news - a few DobberHockey vets have taken on the task of putting together their Top 100 Roto Players list. Click [...]
