The only NHL game was postponed due to COVID issues, so there is a lot of time for updates, news bits, and some research. We have all three in today’s Ramblings. First, Calgary does have a COVID outbreak on the team. There are numerous players in protocols, as well as coaches, so the league has [...]
The NHL trade deadline is March 21st, 2022, but it is never too early to look at some trade targets in mid-December. I’m going to focus on the one or two players per team that might be available or sought after by other teams. These players might not be dealt before the deadline, but the [...]
Depending on the timing, prolonged cold streaks from a number of your fantasy assets can quickly torpedo your fantasy season. Most players will hit a cold spell, but you hope those cold periods will be short and that they won't all occur at once. You also hope they arrive earlier in the year rather than [...]

We are less than two weeks away from Christmas holidays and there’s no shortage of interesting hockey news to talk about. Unfortunately, it seems as though Ben Bishop’s career has come to an end after a tumultuous rehab start in the AHL this week. Thanks to a degenerative knee injury, it seems as though Bishop [...]
According to Stars GM Jim Nill, Ben Bishop won’t be able to play any longer. The veteran goalie was attempting to come back from knee surgery and hadn’t played since August 2020. Bishop recently completed an AHL conditioning assignment, but he gave up eight goals, likely figuring that the knee wouldn’t allow him to compete [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we follow hockey prospects and their paths to the NHL, providing fantasy predictions and analysis along the way. This week, we’ll continue our retrospective on the 2018 NHL entry draft providing updates on performance since the draft, future outlooks, and pick grades. In case you missed it, check out [...]
Apologies for leaving everyone hanging on the picks front last week. I needed some time on the LTIR to recover both physically and mentally, but I am back in business for our favorite day of the week. I won’t lie or try to hide it: I’ve been pretty cold of late, coming off back-to-back losing [...]
By the time you are reading this, I’ll be en route to Pittsburgh for the Penguins-Ducks game tonight. While I’m not particularly a fan of either team, I’m not going to pass up a chance to spectate and sightsee around the city of Pittsburgh for the weekend.
