Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. The preseason is exciting because we finally get to talk about hockey that didn’t happen several months ago. But it’s also the time when players are shaking off the rust and [...]
The Minnesota Wild extended two of their notable forwards on Friday. First, Mats Zuccarello agreed to a two-year extension with a cap hit of $4.125 million. His five-year contract worth $6 million is set to expire after this season. Zuccarello is now 36 years old, which explains why his pay decreases in spite of some [...]
Today over here at Frozen Tools Forensics we are going to be taking a look at some recent changes in draft positions. Given we are well into the drafting season we have some data already as to where players are going and I wanted to use this opportunity to compare that data to average draft [...]
Those who recently drafted Andrei Vasilevskiy (not to mention those in keeper leagues) were dealt some unexpected bad luck on Thursday, as he will reportedly miss 8-10 weeks following back surgery.

Last year I ran a pre-season Ramblings where I went through the top-100 players by their ADP at the time. We’re just getting into the start of training camp, and while there is some interesting injury news, the production and lineup sorting is nothing that we should be jumping to conclusions on yet. This time [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll divide some of the top Eastern Conference defensemen into tiers based on their fantasy hockey value. Keep in mind, there’s a fair bit of subjectivity that goes into these tiers, so think of them more as a guide for your own thinking than rigid rankings that you should stick [...]
