This week we will be continuing our review of top power-play defensemen. In Part 1 we spent time examining teams with safe top units and the teams we have at least a season’s worth of data supporting how they are going to divide up the time amongst the players they are currently rostering. That leaves [...]
Jonathan Toews has announced on his Instagram account that he won’t play in 2023-24. Toews did not officially retire, which opens the door for a possible return in 2024-25. However, I’d be willing to bet that this is the last we’ve seen of Toews as a player, since he is now 35 years of age [...]

By my count, it was eleven (Elias Pettersson, Alex Tuch, [...]
Yesterday’s Jeff Petry trade was summed up pretty well by Cliffy on the main site here. As a Petry owner in two keeper leagues (one of them a cap league) I have to say I’m a little disappointed by the landing spot. That isn’t to say it’s a bad landing spot, and I think Montreal [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll discuss a few players I’d prefer to avoid in fantasy leagues this season. Brad Marchand After flirting with a hundred-point pace for five straight seasons, Marchand took a step back last year, posting a 75-point pace.
