Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. Last week, I profiled the new Frozen Tools AHL Report Generator, highlighted a smart thread about how dramatically a prospect’s chances of making the NHL drop with a rocky transition to [...]
The Canucks and Canadiens agreed to a mid-level trade earlier this week, with the Canucks sending Tanner Pearson and a 2025 third-round pick to the Habs for Casey DeSmith. This trade is interesting on a number of levels. First, Pearson played only 14 games last season because he had a fairly significant hand injury – [...]
Today on Frozen Tool Forensics we are returning to our shooting percentage conversations from last week. In that article we focused on players who were shooting higher than their career averages and whether or not there were underlying numbers indicating they might continue with that level of production. This week we are flipping the script [...]

Training camps are about to get underway and that means plenty of information will leak out over the next few weeks. As mentioned in the Ramblings on Tuesday, a lot of it is not helpful for fantasy owners but there are always things to watch for; which prospects are playing with NHL roster players, and [...]

A few weeks ago I promised breakout candidates from each NHL team as part of a write-in question that I didn’t get to. Well, after a few distractions, I’m bringing the 32 breakout candidates this week. I have the players loosely sorted by how deep of a league you will have to be in to [...]
