With the final part of our series on defenceman contracts we’ll take a look at the ones that make us pump our fists and help us sleep at night. Those defenceman whicih have surprised almost everyone, including their agents. Those value players that bring us back year after year and help you win championships. If [...]
The New York Islanders have been a fascinating team to start the season. They came into the campaign as Cup contenders, but are 5-6-2 following their monster road trip to begin the season. Remember that this team still has not played a game at home yet, with their first coming Saturday against Calgary. They only [...]
Here’s the latest injury news from across the NHL! If you’re looking for information about a specific player and don’t see their name in this article, there probably haven’t been any significant updates about their progress since last week’s article. If you ever need injury updates for a specific player, shoot me a message on Twitter @BrennanDeSouza. Craig Smith – [...]
Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Instead of there being three bowls of porridge though, I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a third [...]
Ottawa and New Jersey were supposed to be playing tonight. Take a look on the waiver wire and see if any mid-tier players from either team were dropped as a result of the lighter week (and keep an eye out for Predators or Rangers players for the same reason). If you’re able to hold on [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll discuss players who have surprised us with their goal-scoring ability this season. Chris Kreider Across the league, Leon Draisaitl and Alex Ovechkin are currently the only players with more goals than Chris Kreider. The Rangers winger is off to a red-hot start this year with 11 goals in his [...]
With a month of the season already in the books, there are plenty of updates with new names, as well as injured and underperforming players falling out. Truth be told, there could be more updates, but a month might not be enough of a sample size to determine a player’s true value. As you might [...]
We had the Hall of Fame inductions on Monday night, which means a light NHL slate. With congratulations to all the other inductees, it’s Jarome Iginla whom I want to talk about. It does suck to see him retire without a Stanley Cup, but I often wonder about his impact on hockey in general. I [...]
This week we are going to look at how each team in the West is doing on the power-play so far and how each team is allocating ice time. With the players, we are going to look at the percentage of power-play time and power-play points per 60 minutes. To put things in perspective, last [...]
Glass half-full or half-empty? That was the general theme of last week's column, when we looked at disappointing players where fantasy general managers could still hold on to some optimism that things will turn around. While researching that column, however, I found it's tough to be optimistic about everyone. There are plenty of players that, [...]
