The latest update for the Fantasy Hockey Guide is ready for download. Buy it here. Find me another fantasy guide out there with Kevin Hayes in the New York lineup with a projection. I dare ya! I also projected goals-for for every team, and the Draft List now has salary and cap information.

Joe Thornton was stripped of the captain’s ‘C’ yesterday, under the explanation that the team will have a clean slate and that nobody will wear the ‘C’. This is per beatwriter David Pollak. I’m not sure how this will help his production. It certainly won’t hurt it. But it may rub Jumbo Joe the wrong way and if that negativity grows, I suppose his odds of being traded will increase. The Sharks hinted at a major rebuild this offseason but I haven’t seen it. All I’ve seen were the natural ins and outs of players. Martin Havlat and Dan Boyle are out, while John Scott and Tye McGinn are in? That’s uh, quite the fire sale. Will fans even recognize this team anymore? Wow.
