While the number of quality players moved on this year’s trade deadline was rather disappointing, there were still a number of movements made. Below I’ll take a look at the moves made in the Eastern Conference on the actual deadline day, as well as a handful of others that happened within the week or so leading up to the deadline. Along with the actual trades being listed, I will also take a look at the fantasy impact (or potential impact) for each team that made a move.
Most head to head leagues end this week before the playoffs start. Now as we head towards crunch time, the injuries start to spike upward. The trade deadline has passed and it is put up or shut up time as we head into Week 21 (22 for some) on “Between The Lines”.
TSN is reporting that Mike Cammalleri will not face his former mates because he is out with an upper body injury. The Oilers have recalled Linus Omark from the AHL. I'd love to see this work out, because he's a dynamic player and if he doesn't make headway this year I'd be worried [...]
This week, I take a look at why Josh Bailey is producing, Minnesota's second best prospect, the Hodgson/Kassian swap, and more.
Few mechanisms have changed fantasy hockey in recent seasons as much as Twitter.
Bugg here. Bizarro happenings in the OHL this afternoon. The Erie Otters were already down a goaltender with an injury to back-up Devin Williams. They then lost starter Ramis Sadikov less than two minutes into the game! 2012-eligible center Connor Crisp was forced into net, and has made six saves on nine shots so far. [...]
Pavel Bure gave an interview a few days ago. He also shares his view on the NHL, KHL, and a few other issues. " Kuznetsov is 100% ready to play in the NHL. Sure, I’m not that familiar with his personal life, but hockey-wise he’s NHL-ready." Tuukka Rask left the game today [...]
Fantasy Impact: The Maple Leafs have (finally) fired head coach Ron Wilson, replacing him with former Anaheim Ducks bench boss Randy Carlyle.
It’s the first weekend of March. Do you feel it?! The last full month of the regular season is now underway. Divisional and conference races are tightening. The playoff picture is slowly, yet increasingly become clearer. Some franchises are surging, some collapsing. Scoring races are beginning to crystallize as the 3 headed monster of Malkin, Stamkos & Giroux have set themselves apart from the crop. The triumph in cementing a spot in the top 16, the disappointment Leaf Nation of missing the playoffs each and every single post lockout season. I can hardly wait to see how these last six weeks unfold.
Without further ado, this weekend’s Six-Pack!
Ryan Miller's sensational play continued last night - he now has back to back shutouts, after stopping 39 shots against the Sharks. Cody Hodgson's line produced the only goal, but he didn't factor in to it. Stafford scored, from Ennis. Hodgson played over 18 minutes - by far his highest total of the [...]
