DR. GREGG’S PROSPECT PRESCRIPTION: Mark Stone
Special mid-week edition of Prospect Prescription - we talk to Cory Clouston re: Mark Stone of Team Canada.
After scoring in each of Canada's first four games at the 2012 World Junior Championship – and leading the team with seven in the tournament – Mark Stone failed to find the back of the net in the home country's heartbreaking semifinal loss to the Russian Machine last night.

Link fixed. FREE - Last year's Midseason Guide. I think the midseason edition is just as helpful as the preseason one and to prove it to you I want you to look at what we did last year. The information that it gives - prospects, half-season projections, tidbits, trends, college free agents, KHL [...]
A Look Back at the Pre-Season Guide (West 2012)
Pending release of the MidSeason Guide later this week, I thought it would be a great idea to take a look back at thePre-Season guide and see where I stand in comparison to four months ago.

Preparing for a Classic
Greetings from Philadelphia! It was just two days ago that we saw legends from both the Philadelphia Flyers and the New York Rangers take the ice.

Mark Messier and Brian Leetch reminded us how talented they are, and Glenn Anderson scored the lone goal for the blue shirts.

Happy New Year! I forgot to note last week, I think, that when my goaltender Mike Smith went down, I made a small trade to get Craig Anderson (band-aid solution) and I dropped one of my minor-league guys to claim Cedrick Desjardins. Because, you never know. As I’ve said many times, Desjardins is [...]

Evgeni Malkin takes home Player of December honours and what a beast he's been. Ridiculous totals and downright dominance on the ice. Steven Stamkos, who's really heating up in the goal department, was second star. Henrik Sedin rounded out the top three. So Ilya Bryzgalov will have a little more time to [...]
The Midseason Draft: An Endangered Species?
Back in the early days when I was getting my feet wet as a commissioner, the midseason draft was a much-anticipated staple of our annual fantasy hockey calendar.
